Thank god - Raja Sen did not review this movie..
He would torn it apart - ripped it to pieces ...
Even Shah Rukh would have begged to spare the movie. And for ONE time I would totally agreed with Raja Sen.

Raja Sen would never write bad about Shahrukh, there is absolutely no doubt that he recieved a gift hamper from Shahrukh.. Looks like he did not recieve one from SLB.

SLB, learn something, next time you want your movie to be written good things, send gift hampers to Raja Sen, taran Adarsh, Khallid Mahomood and other. Your movie will get 5 start rating and will be probably decalred a hot

The best unbaised critic I thnk is Rajiv Masand from CNN-IBN. The following are his ratings:
OSO: 3/5
Sawariya:1/5
If these -ve stratgies are used then I thnk atleast Aag could have recovered its costs and most of the films this year could have been super hit rather just four :)

Exactly, When RGV makes Aag, the whole industry is against it. Now when Shahrukh gives his touch for Karz, nobody is worried and everybody are happy. Why are we so baised? Just because Shahrukh has good PR skills and RGV has none??
Probably if media had not written so much abt Aag, it would have had atleast a decent opening. I am not saying that its a good movie, but when one average movie can get excellent review, why not one bad movie get average review??

I completly agree for ChakDe as it deserved to be,with Shahrukh not being the only reason for the movie to be a hit. The director, the real story and the unusual plot, everything contributed it to be a good movie. You agree or not agree, OSO has nothing in originality. In first half, they tried to mimic 70s, now tell me what is original in that?Its just tribute to Manmohan Desai and Salim-Javed. Second half is completly Karz based,nothing original or new. Its old wine in new bottle baby.

Now tell me one thing, why did Don succeed even being so terrible. Shahrukh failed miserably apeing the real DON.Same hold good for OSO, its a hit only because of media. Do you agree for a 5 star rating for OSO in all leading movie magazines/websites? If OSO gets 5, then Aag should atleast get 21/2 and Saawarriya get atleast 3.

Thatz y I always say, Shahrukh sends gift hampers to reviewers. He has learnt from his mistake in 90s when he did Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani and did not send gift hampers. The movie was a disaster.

Media should become less greedy and stop recieving such gifts or doing favours to actors/movie makers. Else its cheating the ticket payers

Not all the remakes should be a Super Hit, it depends on the directors ability. Aag was worst, I thnk you did agree it, so was the industry. No way it should get atleast average reivew.

And more over OSO is not a remake my dear its just the reincarnation thats similar. Might be Farah got an Idea by seeing Karz but both are different.
The first half of the OSO is awesome its not just watchable my dear. How could you be so biased...

And also I made my point that out of many movies released this year only four were hit out of which 'Cheke De' was Block Buster which no one has ever expected. Its word of mouth that made it.

I thnk only you and SRK know this-giving gift hampers to media persons, no one in the industry know abt it :-)

Lets take a best example Jonny Gaddar which was released this year was a good movie and so as the media and the industry reacted. But still it was a flop.
Why ? Do you have any answers.

There might be many reviewers. I did see 5/5 for Aag, will you consider them. I dont, I do select very few and good ones like Rajev Masands. He gave 3/5 for OSO. Ofcourse only 1/5 for Sawariya.

OSO is doing record breaking business in Overseas, this should not be becasue of the Gift Hampers my dear. Every movie to do a good busisness it should have a good marketing startagy and this affects only the first few days latter it works only on the merit.

The Best Justification
The very first shows of OSO was near to 100% where as Sawariya it was 85%. This is becuase of the publicity,star cast... no way the gift hampers will come into picture.And I reiterate this publicity will only affact first few days.
Hope you are satisfied...

dear friends i saw osm 2 days back nd quite stunned to realise dat it is a very bad movie.It was hyped to such an extent by srk nd his sychopants dat it will destroy sawaria nd slb,but I feel sorry for srk who used so much insulting nd questionable words in spite of knowing d fact dat his own film is stale,scrap nd would have bombed on the first show itself if would not have been hyped nd bribed to who is who of the bollywod.He bribed to right from media for excellent review paper include toi for whom he wrote articles in the past den this shit raja sen nd all film critic in a way to desperage sawaria which in contrast is by far a much better movie dan oso.See the story of oso it is comical,absolutely no story,no script,direction wise very 2 poor.srk should now check his tounge while criticising others.he should first checked his product before comenting on others,irrational hai na.I believe in the 2nd week oso will bomb at the box office on the other hand because of good making sawaria will be a big hit if compared with oso.srk has cheated with the sentiments of his fans,cheated with himself,spelt wrong words for slb nd rk,lied abt his product,has lost all etiquette,mannaer nd wisdom.I am sorry srk but u r not evolving but moving downwards should respect others nd their vision.I would be ecstatic if this film proves to be a wash out just because he has cheated us nd played with our emotions though i am his fan but expressing in such a rude way just bcause of his high handedn
