It has really been hogging the public mindspace as well as the TV channels, not to mention reams and reams of newsprint. I am sure all the time and attention could have been used for other more important issues, but never mind. The movies have finally been released and now we have to bear the after math. We have different channels informing us that Om Shanti Om has beaten Saawariya fair and square. And rebuttals from the Saawariya camp that the media is being used to hamper the success of Saawariya.
I watched Om Shanti Om last week and found it pretty average. Though i loved the retro look and era of the movie. The problem is Shahrukh. He is again Shahrukh in the movie. He doesn't attempt to act or get into the character. Its a typical Shahrukh effort. Gags, and twisted faces, smug looks, mannerisms and hand movements. As usual he mistakes it for acting. But the look, the gags and a very able Shreyas Talpade ensure it is entertaining. And add to that a gorgeous Deepika Padukone and you can't go wrong.
The second half drops a bit (as many people have complained) inspite of the six pack. I did like the climax though. Was not really expecting it.
Go watch it without too many expectations and you may enjoy it. And of course if you are a Shahrukh fan like many silly girls are, you will find it mindboggling.
You can avail of Dhan Dhana DHan Goal DVDs at this popular online DVDstore which also has other blockbuster Bollywood Movies in their movie catalog.
