Simple that doesn't give headache, makes some sense, makes you watch it full without wondering it was waste of $😉.

Copying concept from late 70's mixing with Hollywood version…mixing matching sequences of events...Injecting song at place makes no sense… bringing in 1001 celebrities… cracking humor on bolly celebrities😆… not to miss double dose of glamorous sets and shirtless Sharukh, makes a good movie for masses then good for them😊. Main reason IMO for the success elements is advertising, die had srk fans, good song (audio version per say 👏) most importantly no good movies to compete against… if these make a hit again good for the industry. Let them coming Farah + SRK Duo' s👍🏼😆😆

Top 5: 'OSO' incredible, extra-ordinary figures



Rank Film Producer Verdict Average per print (rs.) Last Week
1 Om Shanti Om Gauri Khan Records extra-ordinary figures everywhere. Sets new records at several places 9,12,504 New
2 Saawariya Sanjay Leela Bhansali Did well in its opening weekend, but business declined from Monday onwards 5,55,441 New
3 Jab We Met Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd Above average to average. Hit in Punjab 1,16,268 1
4 Bhool Bhulaiyaa Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar Super Hit 74,043 2

These look more like election results to me😉 😆😆

Ok there was AAA which didnt make sense but suceeded.. Now if you sayign OSO didnt make sense.. I was not paying $'s to make sense of anything. Anything that can keep me asking for more and get my $'s worth is good enough.. And most people so far have thought contrary to you.. 😊

simpsons dont make any "sense" but is the best sellin comedy and I subscribe to it...Litle miss sunshine didnt make any sense to the point the director proposed an alternative ending but still it went to the Oscars and I know the reasons, it was worth that nomination.. I am just playing the devils advocate.. Its not about mixing old 70's movies... otherwise DON and sholay remake would have done well too... but they miserably failed... Farah is a perceptive person and knows the recipe well.. and all credit goes to her/...😊 😆

Again I don't base my opinions on what others like or not, that is what I feel, sorry strongly feel and supported via reasoning too...am sure u must have love "didi tera deewar dewana aye" perfect majority charmer😉 😆😆

simpsons dont make any "sense" but is the best sellin comedy and I subscribe to it...U bet specially with another desi store keeper made fun of, anyways no expectations there 😆😆Litle miss sunshine didnt make any sense to the point the director proposed an alternative ending but still it went to the Oscars and I know the reasons, it was worth that nomination.. I am just playing the devils advocate.. Its not about mixing old 70's movies... otherwise DON and sholay remake would have done well too... but they miserably failed...DON and Sholay had tremendous expectations fell right on the face not to miss the B facto there...most impotantly they were missing Manoj Kumar's types humor😉 and SRK shirtless 😆😆😆 Farah is a perceptive person and knows the recipe well.. and all credit goes to her/...😊 😆

Never questioned or will question Farah's creditability but as far as OSO just have one word to describe it "Stupid".

Whatever you say Anshu, doesnt change the truth a little bit..😆.. You are like in a group who claims to have seen the UFO... 😆.. Now you can figure out your majority/minority math right there...😆

Yes dont interpret stupid is not good. 3 stooges were also stupid.... You can't reason, without a strong basis on rules of success.I have a sense what is likely to be successful... I know Sawariya was just enjoying its intertia of promotion which sees its earnings.. but the movie will flop miserably but for the promotion.. You wont believe if I tell you I didnt know that there was a movie called OSO unltil that Farah debate here on IF which started week before its release...

i havnt been following along w/ this debate much

but i must say...having seen both movies,....saawariya was waay better...oso was a load of crap!

I agree w/ raj's 1 word description of oso "stupid"...other thn overadvertisement and srk'z enormous fan following and the so called "srk makeover" there was absolutely NOTHING this movie had 2 offer

im so glad i didnt spend $$ on it and watched a choori version online...lol....

saawariya on the other hand was gr8...the set was soo picturesque...i felt like i was warped in2 a dreamland 😳 everything abt it was amazing...slb is a genius and this once again proved his creativity.....u dont need masala 4 a movie 2 b gud

Come on, don't insult OSO! It wasn't a stupid movie!!

There was an underlying theme... about om prakash believing in his dreams... his mom, too, one day there dreams will come true.... and the line from alchemist 'when you want something, the entire universe will conspire to work in your favor'.... it was so charming to see omi ask the poster, tum bore to nahin hui? He actually got to ask her so, too. That was a touching scene. The movie had plenty of charming moments... even in humor, saying picture abhi baaki hai, etc. and life having a happy ending.... there is a ray of optimism there, for everybody!!! The movie was about true love, in its own twisted way! JUST because sawariya (haven't seen it yet) has been presented in the most elegant way, appears meaningful and OSO appears "stupid" or raw at the surface, doesn't mean it has no meaning in it at all.

Arrey DMers - chill! OSO is a spoof - MW online describes spoof as a light humorous parody and that's just what it is - a parody of our movies (especially the 70s and the present ones), our actors, our award shows... It's poking light-hearted fun and spoofs usually do not make much sense in any case. Moreover, one has to have followed Bollywood movies closely to catch all the subtle references that add to the in-your-face-humour. It's not stupid - it's a clever (not intelligent) film masquerading in the garb of nonsense. Farah never claimed to make anything but masala. Now if anyone can give me the exact recipe of the chaat served in Ashok's Chaat Bhandaar in Old Delhi, and I will accept that OSO is nothing but a haphazard mix of this and that.The chaatwaala too puts a bit of this, and a dash of that and a pinch of something else, yet the end result is delicious! 😛 It's about getting it right and Farah has got it - Maan bhi lo na yaaron 😆

The point is not how somebody feels individually... there are people who feel their marriage video might be better than watching saawariya. somehave called it depressing, some have come out confused.. its personal.. but if many people feel OSO is worth a watch (by the ticket sales alone) and they are ready to spend their $'s on it... thats all that counts....I for one can watch it again... and I am not at all a SRK fan.. infact I think he is just another guy.. nothing special about him like I would think of Amitabh....who was called as a one man industry..for his ability to make movies successful on his own.😊

I don't understand the comparison in the first place...Both movies belong to two different genres...OSO is a goofy movie and a very light hearted comedy, I mean so light hearted that when the main protagonists died, none of the audiences seemed to have bothered much about it...😆😆😆

Saawariya on the other hand is an artsy movie..Its like beautiful poetry,a song which one would wish, was never over...Its brilliant, picturesque, piognant and intriguing...Its for the people who enjoy art in its purest form and are willing to explore more..It needs a completely different mind set...

Both are different forms of entertainment...People did enjoy Saawariya, I did!!!...I watched it 3 times already in the theaters and am willing to go again, if only I got company😆...And am NOT willing to spend another penny on OSO, but caught it online in bits and pieces(the fun parts)

I agree with Persy on OSO...I have said the exact same thing in the Bollywood section...In all its over the top, in your face kind of presentation, people missed the real bottom line of the movie...OSO is a fairytale in a modern setting...The whole movie is to establish the following truth:
" If your heart desires for something so badly and you go all out for it, the whole universe will come together to help you achieve it..."

In exact words: "

"Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho to poori kayanaat tumhe usse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai."


Its ok to like both the movies...OSO lovers don;t have to trash Saawariya and Saawriyans like me, don't have to trash OSO..

Raksha
