by on Dec 16, 2007 12:12 PM

what? you know something?? people who lile SRK will say that the movie was great and the people who dislike him(not me!) would say that the film is a total CRAP!

but, this is not true...this movie has inspired SOME of the people to like SRK and now,they are on our levels too! cool no?

King of bollywood?
by secretof on Dec 01, 2007 08:13 PM  | Hide replies

First things first, I am not a fan of SRK and I am neither very against him. But today I realised why he is king of bollywood. I want to ask this question to all the people who have watched this movie (OSO)? I know srk fans will says what a mind blowing peformance and movie and the ones which are neutral towards srk will say - the movie is ok ..you can watch it once. Not surprising, people who hate srk will say pathetic and overacting from SRK. This is quite obvious...but what is the truth here? If I ask all srk lovers to keep aside their love towards srk and then tell me then I KNOW THEY THEMSELVE WILL AGREE THAT IT IS A PIECE OF SHIT AND HE HAS DONE A LOT OF OVERACTING. But then why the buzz is different? It is just because srk fans are huge ...they outnumber srk haters..so buzz becomes this is rocking movie. The one who r neutral towards srk will now say it is time pass movie as the buzz is towards SRK. Had this movie was directed and acted by someone else I am sure Mr. Taran Adarsh wud have rated as worst movie of bollywood. Am I right mr. Adarsh? The point which I want to bring here is the star value of srk. His presence is so impeccable that it will make feel people living in hell as if they r in heaven. He can bring so much moolah to everyone that no one dares to question anything related to him. He can turns things as if he is magician and OSO success is a classic example of this. So many records were broken but my dear SRK I really like you in Chake de not in oso.

Many people have their own idea n opinion..Yesterday I enjoyed OSO..I found it very creative n entertaining...People should know that it's a fictitious movie...Farah Khan has presented a very simple movie in a very creative manner..She has succeeded in that...Music is also charbuster..Farah Khan is surely a winner..

Good review
by on Nov 17, 2007 12:10 PM

Mr. Sivaswamy,

I am glad to finally note a review which is not falling over itself to embrace the so-called "escapism" of "bollywood" and praise SRK and Farah Khan for their ostenisble sense of style and humour.

I'd have written a harsher review than you have but yours is a much better, sober and well-worded reiew than mine would have been.

Congratulations on reviewing a movie on its cinematic and artistic merits instead of the lazy, sycophantic reiews we have been subjected in the rest of the media.

Good cinema

...does not have to be serious or laden with strong social messages. A well-crafted, tongue-in-cheek entertainer is also superb cinema, to be appreciated by those who can understand it.

Indians love to criticize. It gives them a sense of superiority, and just watch - they will criticize this message too.

Indian films are about the ladies, or about nothing. Om Shanti Om has a few seconds of Shilpa dancing in a mini-sari. That's the best you can say for it. And that's not bad.

Nothing there to enjoy
by Abhin Sankar on Nov 15, 2007 11:19 AM

Last day i went to see the film OSO with much expetations. But what i got the impression is , there is nothing in this film to enjoy. The media only made this film "GREAT", or may be the shahrukh kahn's exaggerated publicity. Otherwise, in my opinion, this hyped movie is really boring..
