Well.. I havent waited longer for this day when I get to watch these two mega buster movies... Om Shanti Om (OSO) and Sawariya (SAW). I will though admit I got dragged into the hype by everyone else around me.. and not cause of the media flashing the posters twice every ninety seconds.
Anyways, when my friend (Manmohan Desai fan) did advance booking on Wednesday, I was glad that I will watch OSO atleast this weekend. Next day I saw the trailer for the first time.. and I called him. I just asked... "Tell me you got middle seats." Now we normally watch films between 6th and 10th row.. in Eternity.. that makes almost in the middle of the entire auditorium. And we had got exactly that.. I knew it but still had to ask... :)
Anyways, I went to office on Thursday, had to go last minute for some conf calls. After that we were just chatting. It was around one in the afternoon when I was chatting and suddenly i realize everyone wanted to go to Sawariya instead of OSO. I felt, maybe I got on the wrong side of the hype. Not wanting to miss any of this, I decided to call up people. In no time, the gang was ready for SAW as well. My friend logged on the Cinemax (the fastest login I seen) and I gave him my CC.. and we got tickets booked for Saturday for SAW. Ofcourse we got the same seats.. and then I gave a double pat on my back... Now I got both. I proudly logged on to chat telling everyone I am going to see both, thats when one of my friend says shes watching both the first day... DAMN!!!! This wasnt the end, katz calls me at 4:30 from Noida giving a detailed review of SAW... and how she liked Ranbir... but the movie sucked. Now, I wanted to be the first to watch.. damn it. I give reviews.. i dont take em. Anyways.. things happen.. one has to move on. I read a blog of someone who described three pages on Life and Moving on... (think I went there through another blog I read). Anyways... I had to move on..and i did. If she reads this... this is moving on girl!!
The last challenge was to ensure that all the late comers in my gang actually came on time. Tough as it stands.. i announced the ticket timings being 15 mins earlier than actuals. Phew... some ppl... Now enough on the logistics... we finally saw OSO yesterday.
The only thing we all had to say was.. wished we seen OSO on both the days... watching SAW after OSO will be a huge disappointment. I have put my short reiview on flixter app on facebook..
"This is what i call a classic tribute to old bollywood era. Very nicely done.. the spoofs were amazing... and SRK rocked. Farah Khan has done brilliantly in making this no-logic-only-fun drama... and made it in style. Deepika is gorgeous.. The OSO title song has the entire filmcity stars in it..a treat to watch..but looses the track of the film since its too long. Its a tribute to the Manmohan Desai era..a full entertainer. A great entertainer and you will appreciate it only if u have seen many films of 70s era.. the Manmohan Desai clad. If u havent, you may find things strange and will say the story did not make sense...SRK over acted.. and puff!!! The spoofs were great.. the best actually.."
Worth it!! totally.
Am gonna watch SAW today.. but frankly.. not that enthu at all....

I just came from watching Sawariya...
I have no clue whether SLB was making Black part 2 or Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam remake or wtf was he trying to do with that set.
Ranbir was fantabulous... and as an debutant he couldnt have wished for a tougher film than this.. Even pros would think ten times before acting in this one. Rabir has done some amazign stuff... Songs were no doubt very good.
Yeah I agree dear.. Ranbir rocks as he was born 28th sept 82.. no doubt he would be awesome :P... I am waiting for OSO.. Hope i get to watch next week.. thanks for the review dude.. take care
