OSO day

Saw OSO finally today!

I have decided not to write a review about om shanti om simply bcoz we’ve been bombarded from these projectiles called oso n saawariya from the past 2 months, it’s almost like a war between the two as to who gets maximum media attention!

Though I found it all a tad bit irritating, I must say trailers, sneak peeks, music launches all send me rushing to the theatre at least to find out if the movie lives up to the hype.

The last movie that though didn’t have too many pre-movie marketing gimmicks was Anurag Kashyap’s No Smoking. I wanted to watch it badly but had to give it a miss, and as trade reports tell me ,for good !the movie was deemed terribly confusing by critics and movie-goers alike but hmmm,I think I shall watch it in the semester hols and then give my opinion.

Anyway coming to OSO I shall write two blocks of statements here (aargh blocks, statements! effect of system software gibberish stuck in my head!)

Block # 1:-

If you have seen the movie:

1. Wasn’t the climax quite scary and different, a friend of mine tells me it’s not original, but a lift from our very own dilip kumar classic madhumati!

2. The akshay Kumar nomination scene was also unique, managed to break us into peals of laughter but in the papers, it was the latest scoop for the day, saying it was a lift from a Polish movie!

The papers, who are the official partners for the movie, went on to say that Farah has made a movie by patching up parts of several movies from here and there, just imagine!

Official print partner for OSO being Mid-Day…

3. Also couldn’t we have Deepika Padukone at least, if not minimally, a tad bit completely clad in the second half! She looks so divine in the first half in the 70’s look that her unnecessary exposure looks unconvincing in the second half.

Honestly, SRK does look “uncle-ish” and shorter compared to his herione, save for some clever camera angles and make-up of course to the rescue..

4. Don’t give me excuses that you were not humming ‘Main agar kazoo’ or swinging to ‘DARD-E-DISCO’ after exiting the theatre ,Vishal-Shekhar have created such catchy tunes alongside the haunting main agar kahoon ,it’s impossible to not hum them!

Must see how long the songs remain in public memory!

Block # 2:-

If you haven’t yet seen the movie:-

Reasons to watch the movie:-

1.Deepika Padukone-

She looks so good that it’s unbelievable its her first movie as all news channels have been screaming from the past 2 weeks, yes she’s great but remember she had a kannada movie “aishwarya” previously and was launched in it, and the pretty damsel has done enough home-work on her mistakes in aishwarya and thus the transformation ,..

Yet, she’s simply sweet in the first half and brilliant in the climax..

2.Arjun Rampal and Shreyas तलपडे

Their characters are well-etched in the script and they do full justice to it. Who ever said Arjun Rampal, being a model can’t act, go watch OSO, it will take you by surprise.

Now Shreyas is one actor whom I loved in Iqbal, the best part that comes across throughout his acting is simplicity, he has nothing extravagant to do in the movie but kindles your interest and keeps the spirit of the first half going!

3. Dhoom तना

This song was aired just a few days ago, believe me it shows Deepika displaying her fine dancing skills, she has a lot of grace, and excuse me all SRK fans, he just looks like a buffoon in this song, with the ear-rings and he just doesn’t dance in sync /in tandem with deepika, the result is out there for all of you to verify …

4. If you liked main hoon anthem run and watch OSO, its gonna floor you

If you hated main hoon na,still go watch it,cos I felt main hoon na was a trashy script but SRK saved the movie running behind sushmita draped in her chiffon sarees in a college set . But oso has a decent script though the second half’s overtly dramatized.

5. The photography, sets and background scores are definitely something to watch out for,

I’m saying this even though I have zero technical knowledge about these things but still if something makes u sit up and take notice, it is the sets, and if you find you just can’t take your eyes off deepika, its cos of some brilliant camera work . The OSO set as shown in the trailers --- yeh hai Hindustan ki sabse bade movie oso ka set blah blah, the set is a treat for the eyes … n the background score’s wonderfully in sync with the on goings in the movie especially the scary portions hehe !

So there ends my list, do try n watch OSO, if you give it a miss, no worries, wait for 6 months, you can watch it on sony/set max or maybe even NDTV! Considering the kind of stuff broadcasted these days on so called news channels!

PS : today I downloaded two word games from yahoo, text twist and bookworm, I loved both of them .you see, I love word games simply cos I’m dumb at number games ,have honestly given up on sudoku and the heavy duty action ones ,well let’s talk about my disaster at those some other time .

Now the problem is the downloaded games are only trial versions and last only 4 an hour, sob sob sob….so if anybody has these games, licensed pls send it across to me ,or if you know any links which have similar games, I’d be glad if you cud post them here

Till next time then,

All hot girls put your hands up and sing, OOOOOOOm Shanti OOOOOOOOOOm

All cool boys ,come on,make some noise and sing, OOOOOOOm Shanti OOOOOOOOm
