Mixed Metaphors -- Comments galore about Om Shanti Om
by Truth Be Told on Nov 10, 2007 08:47 AM   Permalink

The comments here are meant to be contextual to the review of the movie Saawariya. As any objective, discerning viewer will no doubt agree, Bhansali floated a trial balloon by having his hero, Salman, fart loudly in the faces of the audience in Hum Dil De.... Encouraged by the success of that venture and egged on by dubious financiers who were willing to bankroll his execrable productions, Bhansali has been farting loudly in the face of the discerning moviegoer ever since. Having succeeded in roping in the unsuspecting Sony Pictures to finance his latest disastrous effort, it appears that he has gone one better this time & crapped in the face of the moviegoer.
While people who think & feel otherwise are most welcome to air their views, what is astonishing is the number of vituperative and irrelevant comments about the movie Om Shanti Om, starring Shah Rukh Khan. One fails to see the link between the two.
One would not put it past Bhansali however to have spread out some financial largesse to those who queued up for the same, instructing them to praise his venture to the skies while decrying the other release, Om Shanti Om. This only goes to show that Bhansali is losing his pants, colourful shirts & singlet to this other movie as per the initial box office reports. It would be typical of the man however to have some paid minions throwing enough mud around in all directions in the hope that some of it will stick. Most of it currently seems to be sticking to him though.
