I booked the show for this on wednesday and was expecting more than its counterpart release OSO. With lots of things in my mind i entered the theatre and was over whelmed by the crowd and the house full shows.
As the movie started with a beautiful song and a plesant entry of ranbir kapoor the envoronment became good. But after sitting for another half an hour i found that i entered an repaeting and un-ending sequence half an hour back which i realized now. The beautiful sets and the main star cast acting started annoying me. All the effort of the director seemed to be spent on the sets only and the dialogue seemed to be in-effective and all the surreal world tales started haunting me. Whats this going on .... somebody uttered from behind. Then the adjacent person shouted " here comes another song ".
Then came the salmaan khan and i thought may be some twist may come up. But alas ... all the picturisation looked like artificial with no emotions attached at all. To me it was like watching an stage drama where the art chracters make loud noises and artistic features and poses. Rani mukherjee seemed to have no other job but to attend functions and jumping in ranbir when ever she wanted.
Towards the end when some emotion tried to creep it once again bhansali showed a nice bridge scene and damaged the end also.
For me this movie has scored two stars out of five and that too only for the beautiful sets. Nothing else.
After watching saawariya i thought there is not much fight left for the good movie.
I was really happy to see the way the movie started featuring the OSO song and the way SRK got into the skin of Om Prakash Makhijaa, a junior artist of 70's. Things went pretty well and i felt that the director has really done a good job as it showed the sets of 70's with the mix of light romance and dreams accompanied by melodies tracks. Even shreyas impressed a lot with the role of pappu.
SRK scene with the line " when you want something with true heart then the whole nature conspires to make you successful", might have touched many hearts. The story progressed and everything was going well untill the first half went over with few twists. So i thought of getting the same entertainment as i started with the second half but whats this. All the fun , all the freshness , all the magic seemed to have lost from the very first moment and it felt as if director was in a hurry to get revenge for the actor for what happened to the hero in the first half. She was wrapping up the sequences so fast that all the feeling was gone. No sweetness was left and it was like murdering the movie. I really had hard time watching the second half. And the performances came really down for all the actors. The whole story was wrapped up without the feeling and i didn't even feel that there has been any reincarnation. The first half made the movie nice but all the effort was wasted in the second ha

The first half made the movie nice but all the effort was wasted in the second half and in the end the movie end result was just ok movie. definitly the movie scored over SLB saawariya because of its drama but in total it too proved to be so called hyped movie. Definitly not one of SRK memorable movies. Two and half stars out of five from my side.
In the end my review sums up saying that this time HYPE has scored more than the script. But there was a question in my mind that is the script not an integral part of the movie now? Is only big star cast and lots of publicity is required to make the movie a big hit?
With these questions in mind i am thinking that next time onwards i really need to think before going for an over hyped movie.
