Saw the movie last night.. I liked it. I don't care much about intricacies in entertainment (it's entertainment, after all). Or maybe I am too much a philistine in cinema ethics. All I care about is my quota of laughs. Hell, I laughed my head off in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. Again, no reason why. So, I liked it just because I left the theater feeling oddly light-headed. Anyway, not that important for me.Bollywood apart, how have you been? I haven't been here for quite some time. - H P.S: Oh, I see you have been having a ball with random encounters+interviews.. I think I'll write to you later.. :) Sakx,

The first was okay but still no where close to 1st grade spoof films be it Hindi or English. As for Saawariya, 130 mins is not bad for a Hindi film by any standards. I guess the expections from someone like SLB is what actually killed the film. Though I still believe its worth a dekho. Neeti – Was waiting for you comment. :)

Any work of art (cinema, music, theater, paintings...) is subjective. One really can't be objective and wonder which reviewer is right/wrong/accurate. One just has to observe a trend and follow the reviews of the person we've seen our own opinions match with in the past. So I really don't care how many good or bad reviews these BIG movies get... I agree OSO screwed up the second half and this movie would not have worked had it not been the overall star power. But in the past few years, BIG movies like Koi Mil Gaya, Krrish, Dhoom 2, Fanaa, Heyy Babyy have worked commercially but were just somebody else's work re hashed and were not gripping movies with lucid scripts-why single out OSO and SRK for following the trend. I haven't yet seen Saawariya but after hearing all the opinions I feel had this been a 90 min movie, without long songs or sets which did not even have a reference of a time period/location, it may have worked. Also, I believe SLB is highly overrated. P.S.: After seeing Goal's promotional video, one can see that John has a tough time dancing/emoting... the works... I feel they may not live up to the Chak De success. Also, did you win a lot of dough at your Tash party ;-) Hey Sakshi,

Like other so-called "reviewer" Meetu you choice to trash the movie, give gaalis to every - to borrow your word - fucking thing. If you're so smart, why did you even see the movie in the first place? When you already knew so much then why did you waster your time, what were you expecting? And hellow, how many other spoofs in Bollywood can you name? Its just amazing what all writing in blogs.

And I agree with you on SRK point but it also reminds me of Ekta Kapoor's stature in the Indian Television scene. These people are at a position to bring in change, variety and stretch the borders since no one will ever question their authority. But still they seem only to be interested in making the moolahs via rotten creativity.
