I'm waiting for the release of Dus Kahaniyaan. It seems to be packaged well, but one can never say for any product from Bollywood. And the spin machines work over time in churning out reels and reels of stories about the coming movie. And all of the releases seem to have a great look, or carry excellent reports. its only when it gets released when audiences realise that they have been taken for a ride.
Dus Kahaniyaan is following the same practise of other big releases this diwali like OSO and Saawariya by making its stars attend TV shows, public functions and using the TV to bombard viewers with the slew of beauties they have top lined in teh movie. I must say Masumi Makhija is looking really good. I liked her in Maqbool and hope this movie works for her.
Some of the stories are barely 12 minutes long and I have my reservations whether Indian story tellers can tell a story within that time frame, effectively that is.
Anyway, lets wait and......watch.

The Big Diwali Clash - Om Shanti Om and Sawaariya
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.
