Raja sen .... am really not sure how much of cinema you really understand... forget cinema ... of much even art you really understand. i guess your review of OSO says it all....
Rediff could do with inviting critics who understand art and are open to experiencing and exploring new forms of narration and presentation. Saawariya may not be a flawless classic but it sure is a lot more than what mr sen perceives it to be.
what does one mean by statements like overbaked version of a simple romance!! who ever defined romance to be simple in the first place and who said overbaked stuff can't taste good at times... gosh lets try to bring in a better understanding to art if not anything else.
critics have been called critics for their ability to be objective ... not judgmental and biased.
