OSO Vs Goal
by Prem kumar on Nov 23, 2007 08:29 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Questions to Mr. Raja Sen.
1. You say about Goal -"Is the film a rip-off? The question is inevitable, the answer even more so" - Can you please explain the number of movies which would have "inspired" OSO? - Karan Arjun, Karz and hundreds of movies on re incarnation. I believe there is no mention of this in your review. You even go on to say that it is a celebration of tthe 70's era. If copying somethin is celebration, I pity those who attempt to make original movies. I also pity those who read your review.
2.This is a how-do-you-count-the-ways kind of bad film. Do you think OSO then deserved the 3.5 stars? You call Farah a Queen and Khan a King. It was the worst piece of acting i have ever seen. OK in Saawariya was much better than the OK in OSO. If you know a thing or two about making movies, please let your dear friend SRK know about that. He needs your help.
3.You say "the film that raises an extremely bizarre perception of anti-Asian racism in the UK" - If you ask this question to a punjabi taxi driver or a bangladeshi restaurant owner in UK, you would probably come back with a black eye.So you dont believe in Racism? Fine. Can I then assume you believe in Re incarnation in OSO . It was oh so believable!!!!
4. You thank Farah at the end of your OSO review. I mean what the hell. You thank her for churning out this utterly despicable movie. Personally, Farah has just choreographed the movie, shes not even directed the movie. Anyways, a thank you coming from a movie c

Sure. But what I really want RAJA sen to know is that he is partial to Certain films and certain actors. I just wanted to highlight that. Personally i dont care if OSO or Goal is a hit or not.

I completly agree with Prem, for people if SRK is in the movie then it is a good film no matter how stupid it is..OSO is a stupid boring film, as for inspiration ...any sports film has the same basic story line..chak de was no exception..,,niether wud be goal..and gutur trade reports dont vindicate a stand...critics dont like fanaa but it went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year and reviewers loved hazaroon khwahishein and it dint set the box office on fire...a reviewer has to review the film irrespective of the fact who stars in the film....u cant be biased as a reviewer...which raja sen is....and so is taran adarsh...TOI review atleast is a little good..rest all reviews are all biased...

hahaha fati sabki'
even rajiv masand give 1 star

buzz18 give 1 star to goal.

and if u are talking about oso that its a spoof of 70s then i want to tell u that they have make very clear from 1st promo that they have made the spoof of 70s so everybody know about it before even film released. by the way oso has made biggest second week record and beat dhoom 2's previous records. congrates u all srk haters. yes one more thing oso's second week collection is more then saawaria's first week collection.

hey..i personally dont give a damn as to how good goal is.All I am saying is if you want to use a yardstick to rate a movie..use it to rate all other movies to. dont suck upto King khan becos he is the king.. It was not a spoof...it was a "CELEBRATION of the 70's" as they would term it. OSO may be the biggest movie ever, that does not make it the greatest. And yeah I dont give a damn abt Saaw either.

Prem Kumar...Going by the trade reports, OSO is a huge hit. That vindicates Raja Sen's stand on OSO.
Why do you guys have to bash SRK everytime his film releases, and you are the very guys who watch the film atleast twice... Grow up yaar

A Huge hit does not mean its a good movie. Then you and I can write the review. We dont need one RAJA SEN for that. I think you need to grow and watch good cinema.
