Today was a magical Sunday...I kept moving like a pendulum between the intensity of SRK and beauty of Deepika...My pleasure levels touched the seventh heaven and whenever I felt I was feeling some stability...i was floored by the wonderful tunes of vishal-shekhar...and most importantly the simple story line...yes friends I just experienced "Om Shanti Om"...
Let me be bit frank at the begining itself..that I went for the show with some expectations. Amount of euphoria generated prior to release and whatever publicity campaign was run by SRK and Co made me belive that it was going to be something different...The plot looked like some sort of dream...and belive u me... it was kind of a dream come true on the screen...I wouldnt tax my intellectual faculties by describing the story line...like The Times of India described in todays review that Subhash Ghai has every reason to smile..that even after so many years the Karz plot works..not only works but works beautifully. The story has been aptly added flavour for the day by Farah khan and meets needs of all audiences taste buds...SRK is as usual super intense in what ever he does...He was as fresh and his six ab pack was quite an encouragement for a round shape like me...SRK u have infact motivated me to get on to some sort of fitness regime...I will..if not six..what ever number that I can achieve..Go for it man..Go!...
And what do I say about Deepika...If Madhubala...Vaijantimala...Hema malini...Madhuri...Aaishwarya...are divine..then she definately fits in to the tradition...surely has an ability to carry this ahead...She fills the screen with her beauty...charm...grace...smile...and what ever...When she is on screen...u even miss SRK...If I was SRK...I would have drooled in the same manner...(may be better)...it was sheer happiness to see such an overwhelming presence on the screen after a long long time...cheers to u deepika...may u see mountains of success...
Music of OSO has already been making waves..but seeing the songs on screen is like a poetry...Aankho mein teri....Tum ko Paya to meine...Chan se gire to koi sapna...are numbers that would remain with u for a long period...they carry some superb lyrics and lovely tunes and have been well presented....The chartbuster number "Om Shanti Om" also carries flavour of seventies...and u see stars parading for the song...right from oldies like Dharamendra to Ritesh...Rekha to Rani...all grace the song with great finess...I must say that its has been a directorial graduation of Farah Khan...She rolled the camera and fit the steps of these stars so well that the song has become audiences viewing delight..great show! ( Big B and Aamir Khan missed out on all the fun)..Last word on Vishal-Shekhar..these guys have been firmly moving with their style of Music..from the days of Jhankar beats to OSO..these buddies have really made some impact on the industry....
Movie carries a lot of intense moments..my favourite among them is reincarted SRK...climbing the podium to collect Filmfare award and renders the thanks giving speach like a possessed...speach that he had planned in his previous birth...i guess only SRK today is capable of doing this....Hats off to u buddy...
At the end of the day the success of the movie lies in the fact that when deepika smiles and SRK rendershis lines " Agar kisi chij ki dilse khwaish ki jaye to puri kaynat use sach karne mein joot jati hai" ...It all seem real...touches your heart...u feel like laughing with them...your heart bleeds with them...you drool with them...u enjoy every bit of emotion.....
I only wish if life was also like what OSOs famous dialouge...."Picture abhi aur bhi hai dost...."
