No big deal
by Patriot on Nov 10, 2007 02:27 PM

Neither sawariya nor om shanti om is any big deal.. both are doing whatever business because of media overkill..and yes.. whatever business they are making is only because of media..
everywhere in all newspapers, newschannels one only gets to see info on both these movies.. ( as if no other worthwhile event is happenning anywhere in this country)
anyway OSO, will be liked by only die hard shah rukh fans. He goes thru the same antics, similar spoofs and faces.. But yes.. his fans will like him.. I did not..in some places the movie goes plain corny and juvenile ( especially his take on south indian moviestar to impress the heroine, as also a staged fight with a dummy tiger and ever heard of a movie star ( om kapoor ) arranging all facilities for a producer ( mukesh mehra)!!! ).. It is but a ghost story, with the heroine returning back and taking her revenge on her own.
Sawariya on the other hand is a dark movie. made in the format of a stage opera.. I just realised that there was absolutely no outdoor scene nor sunlight. Ranbir Kapoor will do well. He has charishma, but the movie drags ( as all slb movies do).
and so if you are a die hard srk fan and like him to do the same stuff which he does in all movies since kuch kuch hota hai, then you will still like OSO.
and in case you liked devdas and Black, then you may also like Sawariya.
My own suggestion is either watch Jab we met or Bhool Bhullia..atleast there is some novelty both in story and way of handling.
