A week later , a winner had clearly emerged from the rubble.OSO had won by a whisker.(Poor writing 101 )
Bollywood is moving too fast these days, and that too in new directions .While the movies of the yesteryear's had vamps who were allowed to gyrate seductively , smoke , drink on screen , the modern movies had 'Item Songs'.
The present 'Item Girls ' made the traditional vamp redundant.These 'Item Girls' can do anything a vamp could do , only twice better !
However OSO and Saawariya deviated from the norm wildly !
In both movies the so called 'item Songs' were performed by Men !
'Dard-e-disco by Six Pack Sharuck and 'Jab Se tere naina' by an equally chiselled 'Serial Lungi Dropper' Ranbir.
Stranger days have never come in Bollywood.The USP of both movies were Men showing off their chiselled bodies and shaved chests.
I to had a sudden hankering to shave off my chest hair !
But clearly , despite the expensive promos, both these movies have failed in the public eye.
OSO has failed for being too cheesy and too filmy .OSO was supposed to be a tribute to the 70's era of film making , but it ends up being a farcial parody .But OSO has its moments.Moments where you realize 'this is what bollywood is all about'.The first half sucks you in and gets you emotionally involved while the second half repeatedly spits you out.
Ms.Farah , your movie sucks compared to your debut 'Main Hoon Na'.
Saawariya fails because it is too overindulgent , too arty , is unable to connect and has an unfavourable climax where the hero ends up a loser.Saawariya never sucks you in.You remain , throughout the movie , a passive observer.Its like watching a foreign art movie without subtitles.
But to tell you the truth , my masochistic tendencies were acting up on the day I watched Saawariya , and I actually ended up liking the movie more than OSO.
Surprisingly , an unexpected victor has emerged from the ashes of the battle of the titans.
If you ask me which was better, OSO or Saawariya , I'd simply say I liked 'Jab We met ' Better !
Hey we didn't even know 'Jab we Met ' was in the race ! (Poor Writing 101 )
I did watch OSO and JWM but my good sense kept me away from Saawariya, besides any movie which cannot be reduced to 3-4 letters is not worth watching anyway
