OM SANTHI OM

This was the most anticipated and higly awaited movie for all the SRK and cine going buffs . The question is,, does it deliver?? Does it stand to expectations?? Does young debutant Depika and young Shreyas work out with Srk ?? Answer is obvious "yes" but on certain conditions . Forget ur brains in ur house ,,dont bring out logic in the scenes that u see ,,dont cross question. When sensless movies like Partner ,Heyy Babby can do wonders dont u think this will do ?? After all we have got King in this picture.
Most importantly people who have lesser idea about bollywood and its period of 70s kindly dont even bother to have a glance at the 1st half. 2nd half is masala mix of and will attract masses.
This is clear pick of Karz movie and atleast the 2nd half of the movie. Movie begins with the era of 70s and this is what a real pleasure and is backbone of the movie.So Farah Khan brings out with ease the mannerisms of 70s and ur laughters get louder and louder till the pre interval scene. Srk plays the role of junior artist named Om and Depika plays the role of successful actress named Santhi Priya. Real surprise is Shreyas who plays Pappu friend of Om . Om falls in love with Santhi and story continues . Arjun Rampal is refreshing in never seen before role ,,he plays a producer named Mukesh and infact a complete negative shade to him . Kiron kher playing mother role excells which she has been doing so well in the past.

At times I felt really disheartened by the role of Srk especially watching him after his performance in CHAK DE ..but really those feelings will vanish out second after second.To be precise Srk has proved his prowess again ,,this year he has 3 major roles i.e Kabir Khan in Chak de,Om of 1st half and Om kapoor of 2nd half of the movie. Movie will fetch more than 100 crores and for this most of the credit goes to Srks magic.In 1st half hardworking junior artist and in the 2nd half reincarnated arrogant super star. He makes u perplexed by the variations he brings out in the movie. Depika is charming and is a star in making .

The only problem with the movie is its too much filmy in the 2nd half which will not be much appreciated by a certain genre who enjoy serious ,artistic movies that of like Swadesh ,Chak De ...but director Farah made it clear in the very begining thats its a fun movie and has made for all classes especially the masses .
Music by Vishal and Shekar is differnt and mix the shades of past and new pretty well . 31 stars song is picturised well and look out for good looking actors and actresses.
Sheer Bollywood has been shown at the big screen and dont expect to llok at recent bolly stuff.
I have not enjoyed OSO as i used to with other SRK films because its a senseless movie.

So overall OM SANTHI OM is masth jabardast masala flick and will make huge business in India and overseas ....and of course a treat to Srk fans and u r out to see Manmohan Desai's few shades in direction of Farah Khan.

My rating : ***

JAB WE MET

This time Kareena and Shahid are back after their dull movies of past Fida and 36China Town. But hold on this time they have proved that they can act and can have a long stay in Bolly industry. They strike the right chord in every frame of the movie. Now if u have seen Socha Na Tha u will surely remember Imtiaz Ali for his craft in flawless direction and same impression is seen in the movie Jab We Met .
Romantic movies really got dried out past few days but suddenly u are sure to get refreshed by watching Shahid and Karena. Though they have been compared to SRK nad KAJOL in some scenes by few few critics all I can say is ridiculous ..they have done well but its too dissapointing to compare them to stalwart pair.

Story all starts up in a station where Geta played by Karena wants to reach Batinda ,,later she meets Aditya played by Shahid who has loser in life and helps him in train .But due to uncertainities Karena misses the train in another station. Later on its Aditya who needs to help her in reaching her to destiny .In this mean while a platform for love and romance starts emerging. Once reaching to destination all is done and over but there is when the real story starts and really overwhelming to watch the phases that take place.
1st half of the movie is more of comedy and is complete talkative Geta (Karena) show.Its really a treat to fans of Karena.Big hater of Karena also will start liking her in that wonderfull talkative character.

SPECIAL SCENE::
U need to watch the scene in the hotel where theres a conversation between Karena and hotel manager and i say u if u do not watch the movie atleast take a DVD and watch this scene because its one of the most misunderstood scene u can ever imagine and which i m sure will make u laugh and will stay in ur minds ....

2nd half becomes bit slow and this is where Shahid has got something to do but u rarely feel he has got anything because of Karena's impact of the 1st half.
Music by Pritam is excellent ,every song has been chart buster and now i wonder why in England this years best tracks are from this movie. Saying all that i felt some how climax should have been reduced a bit but u cant expect everything to go well in a romantic movie ,,but still director tries his level best in pulling the movie without any faults and we should hail his credentials.

Finally though "JAB WE MET" is not a "DDLJ" to look out for, but young boys and girls are sure to get attracted by the movie. Most importantly if u r guy like me take ur girlfriend to this movie and I m sure she will have a feel good factor after watching the movie or if thats not the case present ur girlfriend with the DVD on the eve of Valentine Day :)) :)) :)) :))

My rating : ***1/2

JOHNNY GADDAR

Tell when was the last time u really enjoyed a open secret thriller in Bollywood saga ,,i suppose atleast not in recent past. Anyways this is out to look for because its a chilling dark thriller which will make u say "OHH MY GOD" once u see the climax .
This movie is about 5 persons and the crores of deal they are into .In these 5 persons 1 man MR.VIKRAM alias JOHNNY is the con man and cheats the other 4 persons ,,seems like HOLYWOOD flick USUAL SUSPECTS forget it ,,in JOHNNY GADDAR in the fisrt 20 mins only u come to know who the cheat is but credit should go to director RAGHAVAN("Ek Hasina Thi" fame )for pulling out the open secret in such a wonderfull manner .VIKRAMs role is played by debutant "Neil Mukesh", he has got looks style and most importantly he knows how to act.Dont get surprised if this new boy looks like Hrithik in few frames.
Each and every member in the movie have come out with good performances .Dharmendra continues his flow that has this year from Apne,Metro..he is rock solid in the movie. Vinay pathak plays the role of Prakash and Zakhir Hussain plays Shardhul and both have been crafted preety well by the director.Rimi Sen has very little to play but does it well since it was a serious role.

The entire train sequence of 15 mins is superbly directed because no background score is given and no dialogues are there in that 15 mins and still its one of the best scenes in the movie. How can i forget to mention about the PARWANA style of BACHAN in the movie ,,u need to look for the movie rather than I revealing here.Music by Shankar Ehsan Loy is refreshing with touch of 70s and 80s as the background score.Title track is also good.

Johnny Gaddar's low publicity will not make aware to public about this excellent thriller.On the whole Johnny Gaddar is a must watch movie because story telling by Raghavan is awesome afterall he once worked under RAMU .Climax will keep u in shock for atleast 30mins and this is my open gamble with U . Enjoy Johnny
