Never you can recreate such magic. <BR/><BR/>About your thought about Abhi, I think he himself has got fear about getting compared to BigB. So that he can never perform genuinely good. Though he was good in this. [my friend told, hasn't he spoke just 11 lines? :-D ] Less dialogues and more eye contacts made his act 'good'.<BR/><BR/><B>Sita-ji</B>: Thanks for stopping by. I also do the same. I do not read any review before I watch the movie, cause a tiny line of story can ruin my experience. And you know critics these days, writes whole story expect climax. And that bothers me a lot. <BR/><BR/>On the contarary to your belief, I loved Sonam in this. She was more mature then Saawariya. And thats good. Given such a large cast, she could make her presence felt. Thats great for a one film old girl. <BR/><BR/>Oh yes, that climax was shocking. I was expecting something different. well...what to do now?<BR/><BR/>Loved <3 your thought about 'Roshan'. Bang on the target...Roshan...Enlighten...wow!! And many other symbolisms were great. I just loved mirror. [had you held it up till end credit? Its beautiful]. One another symbolism was, everybody considers 'Jalebi' [Divya Dutta] an untouchable. In very next scene, an Untouchable - 'Shabari' [character from Ramayana] feeds fruits to God Rama after testing them. That scene was wow. You oughta see expressions on Divya's face.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-57131155603665422432009-02-23T04:13:00.000+05:302009-02-23T04:13:00.000+05:30Hey Darshit!I knew you’d written on this, but I di...Hey Darshit!<BR/>I knew you’d written on this, but I didn’t want to read until after seeing the film. Saw it in the theater last night. Loved the music (of course) and my favorite picturization was the NYC/Dehli number. Lovely, fun and even touching. I especially had fun seeing this one since my recent trip to India took me briefly to Delhi. I thought the ensemble cast was FANTASTIC and you’re right about not wanting to single anyone out since they were all excellent. I especially loved Atul Kulkarni, Divya Dutta (WOW!) and Deepak Dobriyal…but then I also like Rishi, Waheeda, and Prem Chopra and…you get the point. :)<BR/>I though Abishek was also great, but I wished he could have pulled off a better American accent, since he was supposedly raised in the USA. I know, those “v” and “w” are nearly impossible, but his attempts at saying “typical” American stuff, like “whoa” and “Hey”, and “wow” weren’t too close to the real, but I forgive him. I would have happily spent some time over the phone coaching him, dude, for real man. :) I wasn't expecting too much from him, but was very pleased, but it definately is a film carried by the ensemble cast. I wasn't enjoying Sonaam Kapoor too much at all, she's lovely and seems to be a good actress, but I think I didn't connect with her character and found her unlikable and self centered, immature, so I can't really say. Maybe that means she was indeed great in the part. But how do you compare her to someone like Waheeda and the rest of the cast. Her part was almost filler.<BR/>Spoiler alert. I will try and veil what I right, so as not to be a big spoiler: I was a bit concerned about the ending and kept remembering the end or RDB when it got down to that part, I didn’t expect anything too happy. Yet when things turn around the other way I was almost more disappointed. It would have ended well either way though.<BR/><BR/>Like theBollwoodFan references above, the critic may be correct about the rather heavy handed symbolism, (the mirror, the RamLeela running through the story) but you know not everyone in the audience is so smart as we are, so they need that symbolism highlighted in an obvious way. :) I liked the simple symbolism of Abi's name being "Roshan," meaning light, hai na? See, even a simple gori like me can get that.<BR/>Just another lovely movie released from Bollywood this month that I was lucky enough to enjoy on the big screen. Thanks for the review yaar.<BR/>All the best!<BR/>Sita-jiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-21565050827012005612009-02-22T12:04:00.000+05:302009-02-22T12:04:00.000+05:30Hey Darshit, yeah, of course I'll see it in the th...Hey Darshit, yeah, of course I'll see it in the theaters (I couldn't recommend others to see it on the big screen, and then not see it myself!).<BR/><BR/>Critics do as critics must. Comparisons to the director's previous products are inevitable. If the director uses the success of the previous film to advertise the current film (e.g. 'from the makers of RDB'), he really opens himself up willingly for that comparison. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you on RDB. The vast, vast majority of films will fall short of it -- even if the climax to it was different, it was still pretty darn good. That expectation is just unfair, in my opinion. When it wasn't the music (I think RDB's music is still way better than Delhi-6), or the subtleties of the script, it was the acting. I don't need to see a Delhi-6 to know that each of Aamir, Siddharth, R Madhavan, at the very least (maybe even Kunal and Sharman) are just better actors than Abhishek. That's not a shot at Abhi as it is an acknowledgement of sheer acting talent of the rest. There's a reason Abhi's struggled to get his solo movies going, and it's not always the director. <BR/><BR/>In any case, the symbolism here might have been overdone according to the 'critics', but I'm confident that given the theme, I'll enjoy it more than at least 80% of the other movies out there, which works for me :)Bollywoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296407098387050782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-38948410906227823042009-02-21T18:35:00.000+05:302009-02-21T18:35:00.000+05:30Bhargav: Glad you liked my review. actually I was ...<B>Bhargav</B>: Glad you liked my review. actually I was taking care not to add any spoiler, so I had not mentioned that cameo. But as you have put it, yes, it was bit weird. Unnecessary. <BR/><BR/>The Women Brigad was absolutely brilliant. Me too, in line to watch this again (just for fabulous music and colors)<BR/><BR/>Critics are getting over the board. They are comparing it with a greatest movie like RDB. It is impossible. But yes, personally I loved OSO, it was bollywood masala at its best. I could have easily rated it 4.75 stars :-)dunkdafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01140259719369169275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11776706.post-90631018042885828622009-02-21T15:04:00.000+05:302009-02-21T15:04:00.000+05:30Nice round-up of the movie!I loved every bit of De...Nice round-up of the movie!<BR/><BR/>I loved every bit of Delhi-6. Only the cameo by Amitabh was a bit weird. I think it should be edited out. <BR/><BR/>Divya Dutta, Sonam and Waheeda Rahman were so so so awesome!!! I think I'll watch this movie sometime again next week :)<BR/><BR/>Glad you liked it; some critics have rated the movie so low, it's almost unbelievable. I think they've lost their minds and they give 3 or 4 star ratings to OSO and Billu Barber.
