I come back an year older......no please don't measure it from the time of the last post, that's not what I meant!! Anyways, am a bit full with the idea in my head to what to write today that I am confused. That ever happened to you?? Sure it has.....its the same as when you have to do a task and suddenly there all these other things that need to be completed and you are in a dilemma as to what you should do next and this my friend is the same things with my thoughts. So I hope you had a very good Diwali those that celebrate it and the ones who don't know what it means well Google it, coz i can't be bothered writing about things which I am literally gonna copy paste from Wikipedia anyways(two sources in one line, I know I am amazing!!). Anyways I spent my Diwali watching the two most awaited movies of the year ---- yes you're right, Saanwariya and Om Shanti Om (for those who are now totally lost, well looks like you'll be closing this page so I really hope you do really open up to the world!! :P ) and in that order.
Saanwariya, produced by Sony launching two more star kids, was supposed to kill OSO (Om Shanti Om for the ignorant) and well ensure that SRK (Shah Rukh Khan for the ignorant) did not deliver this Diwali. But so wrong they were, Saanwariya with its USD backed script, set and director could not even make any sense to the people let alone compete with OSO.
I haven't read the novel which the screenplay was conceived from but I am sure it would not have been as gloomy and depressing as the sets made you feel. The entire set was Blue and although Sanjay Leela Bhansali's sets are famed to be amazing this one like this movie should just be forgotten, the quicker the better. It seems that SLB was quite inspired by the video of the song "Blue", by Eiffel 65, while making this fairytale movie. The actors had nothing much to really prove if they can be the next biggest sensation in Bollywood. Ranbir at times seemed a bit irritating to me but then it could be due to the fact that his character was a bit instable in the head. Sonam has something about her which is inexplainable, she has the charm Kajol has is the best way to put it. Salman had a very brief appearance and as always Rocks. Rani was the most irritating of the lot and lets not even talk about her acting. While feeling depressed with all the blue(s) thrown at you from the screen, the only thing you could do was wonder if OSO was going to be this bad!
So next day we thought that we should check if OSO could really match up with the torture called Saanwariya. So all prepared we marched into the cinemas and somehow ended up in the second row from front thinking that the worst had started. Well I don't know if it was because we saw Saanwariya the day before or that we were prepared for this movie or if the movie really was as good as we think it is, I can say i would want to watch OSO anytime over Saanwariya!! OSO is a proof that SRK really is the King of Bollywood and however much we may hate him, me included, he always comes up and gives us something amazing and this time its this movie. The movie has very little of a story if any but then the way the movie is made no one cares about the story. Its a total masala film which takes the piss off on most of the 70's actors. It has this scene where SRK or OK, as he is called in the movie, is nominated for the Filmfare award and he competes with Abhishek and Akshay and the whole skit is soo comical you could just play it over again n again and laugh yourself crazy.
All in all, Saanwariya----DUD!! OSO-----Rocks!!!
