The magic of OSO
Saturday 17th Nov: TOEFL Exam
Thursday 15th Nov: Om Shanti Om tix in my hands.......
What the hell am I doing here, when I got to be studying ? That too for a Farah Khan movie (Main Hoon Naa still gives me nightmares) ? A movie which has SRK ? A movie which has Deepika ....... Aaaaah !!!! Now I know why i'm here .... i'm here for her .... I bring along mom and dad to introduce them to their to-be daughter-in-law !!
Sssshhh ! The movie begins. Lets retrograde. Enter, the set-up of a 1970 movie production unit. It looks so dreamy ... so flashy ... so unreal. Discard those jeans ... to hell with your sun-glasses ... tear away your t-shirt ... coz the past is here again !! Farah takes you on a ride back to history ... weird hairstyles ... weirder dress sense ... weirdest dance moves ... it makes you want to go back home, take the dust off those 1970 era video cassettes, and drown in the sea of music. 'Om' a junior artist in love with 'Shanti', the dreamy Bollywood girl, sounds too unrealistic, sounds too filmi.
I found myself biting my nails in the 7-minute interval ... waiting for the magic to begin. Enter SRK ... enter 6-packs ... and crappy acting. First half, I was ready to shed my repugnance of SRK forever ... second half, the over-actor is back. And where the hell is Shanti ? It takes a while for the movie to fall on track again ... but it does ... and the intense melodrama starts off again ... places here and there that drag ... scenes that you wished weren't there ... but once again, the stage is set for a magnanimous ending ... some things happen that you never expected ... the magic fills the atmosphere ... and the curtains are drawn ... !!
Songs are lovely ... Sonu melts your heart with his voice ... music is beautiful ... leave all logic at home ... and you'll love this one ... my review is really ambiguous as it is meant to be ... an incoherent one ... watch it ... if not for Deepika ... atleast watch it for the 'magic' ... coz thats' what a Bollywood movie is all about ...
