Its cool and I dont think anybody can lose interest as the movies goes on...I thouhgt the first half was the bumpkin SRK.. so may be boring but her parodies have done great.the second half id freaked out srk which is great anyways... so all in all its fun.. if we dont accept such movies we will invariably land up with some crappy off-beat movies..says quick gunn moorugun - mind it...😆.😆😆

you can add Madhumati in your list too , end was somewhat similar to the end of Madhumati where orignial ghost came into the picture 😆 but yes there was certainly a stamp of Farah on this movie

How Pyarelal recorded a song for Om Shanti Om
By IndiaFM News Bureau, October 23, 2007 - 09:03 IST
It's been the same nearly a decade since Laxmikant's demise in 1998, with the 'LP tag' once again being the only brief with which director-choreographer Farah Khan convinced the veteran music director to come off his self-imposed exile from the current film music scene to compose a song for Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om. "She wanted the typical LP style of music from the 'Seventies to go with the flashback track in the film that revolves around the theme of reincarnation," he says.

"Farah wanted me to do three songs, but I said I will do just one, but a good song," he says, adding, "I had initially refused her, as I have gone a bit low on doing films after Deewana Mastana (1997), but my daughter convinced me to take up the project."

And in LP style the song's recording happened with a 150-plus orchestra, a rarity in today's age of digitally-arranged music making. "Nobody works with an orchestra these days, but Farah was very cooperative to my insistence on recording the song with an orchestra only. We used 40-45 different drums ranging from tabla and dhol to duff, 40 plus violins and 22 woodwinds amongst other instruments for the song," he informs.

So when Pyarelal stepped in for doing even just one song for Farah Khan, it was on his own terms with the attendant regalia that's signature LP. "Unlike today's music directors, I still work from home. So we had two rehearsals at home followed by one in Yash Raj Studios. The song was created in nine shifts spread over three days," informs Pyarelal about the song written by Javed Akhtar. "Its lyrics go something like Dhinak dhinak dhin and I felt nice composing it. I am quite keen on seeing how it looks on the big screen," he adds.

Does that mean we get to hear more of him finally? "I come from an era where music directors didn't hang around studios or randomly chatted up directors asking for work. Though we too had our fair share of struggle, at least now I am well past that stage. We have always believed in long- term relationships with the directors we have worked for and with someone like Farah who has an ear for music, I would love to do a full film in future," he opines.

Pyarelal, who is currently also working on a music album with Indian and Pakistani singers, had released an album titled Indian Summer containing eight pieces for string quartet in March this year for the UK-based company Schott.

However, apart from making music from myriad platforms, Pyarelal also has to deal with frequent invitations to judge the various music-based reality shows on TV. "My only condition is that I will be a solo judge. Do you know that Ismail Darbar used to play violin for us and Himesh's father used to arrange music for us for years on end. Even AR Rahman had once played for us when he was known as Dileep," he reveals.

Incidentally, the music director has composed a bank of tunes in the meantime to be used soon with a few big banners he is currently in talks with. "So Om Shanti Om isn't a comeback. You will get to hear some big announcements within the next year-and-a-half," he informs.

Ok so finally saw OSO last night , getting there 10 mins after the movie had started. But it was sheer enjoyment from the moment I saw the screen till after the credits had rolled completely in the end.When did FarahK loose all that wieght?😕

Deepika has the right balance of Indian and exotic beauty with figure to match. One can put Shilpa Shetty, Urmila, Bipasha(in Dhoom 2) on one side and Deepika can still come out ahead in terms of flawless figure and flatest abs in bollywood. She definitely seems to be cut out for character roles as in first half of the movie then girl next door type of role she had in second half. SRk was "OK" , his usual OTT dose of Raj and Rahul but I loved the way Farah had infused Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson's Zoolander type of madness in his Om Kapoor character with hotties hanging around to give him on demand kisses.😛 Farah keeps the stupidity of the story and characters hysterical rather then irritating. She treats substance with style , sophistication, ridiculous and campy humor. I am not a big fan of Main hoon na, but OSO I can watch again and again ...!!!😛

I saw OSO! I like... I don't think I liked it for srk, but for the dialogues, the music, and the characters!

OK was fun... and om prakash touched me. loved omi's filmfare speech.... and omi's filmi ma was very much fun. deepika was great.

I think I can listen to 'when you want something bad enough, saari quinaat will work to bring it to you'... and jab omi ka dil toota, and sonu's nigam's song rolled... it was heart-touching.... and talking to shanti's poster was such muah! LOL, I think I liked everything, even srk's characters, but srk.😕 if that makes sense!!!

will watch saawariya over thanksgiving, but will watch jab we met first. 😆 anybody see mitti waajah maardi?? aweful editing, the movie could have done without the third part, and mindless santo comedy!! Is it just me or punjabi movies are getting worse with every new release? script should be made better. 😳

Persy

hey nicely written review😊 but sorry I really couldn't force myself to like it even after reading some good reviews... it was sporadic sequence of scenes filled with melodramic glamour... not to miss uncalled for song sequences... still makes me wonder how can such a movie make a hit.... perhaps lack of good movies around...would absolutely score Johnny gaddar better then OSO or Sawariya(wat a disaster).

Whats according to you a good movie? If OSO becomes a hit... it has a reason.. I am not a big movie buff.. but i can definitely say it has elements of being successful... 😊

It's breaking records everywhere. Obviously, it has mass-appeal and people are lapping it up. Good, bad or ugly - vox populi is "chak de Farah"! 😛
