Om Saawariya Om

At least since Last one month, there is not been a single day when this question has not haunt in my mind, Saawariya or Om Shanti Om. Perhaps, I may end up watching both next weekend, but now, which one should be the First One?

Let’s Look at the PROS of SAAWARIYA:

· SLB (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) Movie ..Director of Khamoshi, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Black.
· Star Son and Star Daughter’s Debut Film. (Last time It happened was BARSAAT, when Bobby Deol and Twinkle Khanna came together a decade ago)
· Guest App. By Salman Khan (equally important as SRK in India) and Rani Mukherjee (desperately looking for the Hit Movie and last time in Bhansali movie, she performed Award ( Oscar) winning performance.
· Music of the Movie is far more different than usual.
· One Song Sung by Shaan ( I am listening this song like a prayer everyday)….JAB SE Tere Naina (It reminds me of 1942 a Love Story song, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha To)
· First Movie Made by Hollywood Production Company.

Let’s Look at the PROS of Om Shanti Om:

· Produced by SRK (King Khan who Rules Overseas Market) and Directed by Farah Khan (Main Hoon Na and Spouse of Jaan-e-Mann Director Shirish and Sister of Hey Babyy Director Sajid Khan).
· Looking @ the Track Record and Promo, this seems to be a Complete Entertainer.
· Possible Remake of 80’s Hit KARZ (Double Role of SRK) and even carries the replacement chartbuster of Dard e Dil from Karz to Dard e Disco in Om Shanti Om.
· Deewangi Deewangi Song carries 31 Stars (an Attraction for sure)
· Ajab Si Song could have been as good as Jab Se Tere Naina from Sawariya, (Key Omission of CHORUS who makes the Sawariya song more enjoyable).
· Debutant Actress, Deepika’s Link with Cricket Star Dhoni would give much needed Publicity.
· Strong Supporting Cast in the movie.

When “Khamoshi” released some 10 years ago, I didn’t went to theater by looking at the tailors of the movie. I think the music of Khamoshi is till date the best music given in the SLB movies. The Film, when I watched in the Video, I was stunned. How come a debutant director makes such a sensitive movie. I decided to watch his next movie, First Day First Show and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam didn’t disappointed me for a single second. I don’t think so the Character of “VANRAJ” could ever disappear from my memories and so is the character of “Nandini”. I don’t think so, After Subhash Ghai and Raj Kumar Santoshi, there is any director who can say the Story so brilliantly.
SLB climbed one more floor when he took the subject of Devdas. I still remember the expression of my face, when I came out of theater near Boston alongwith Rohan, my room mate. We were stunned by the whole experience. But What came after Devdas, was more than a movie experience. I consider, watching a movie “BLACK” was definitely one of the best experience of the life. Watching “BLACK” could be described like, Watching “Taj Mahal” or perhaps “Watching Wimbledon Final” or “Watching a Cricket Test Match @ LORDs” or “Being in Michael Jackson Show”. Black was not phenomenal movie but whole new experience. I wonder what SLB is going to give me next. I think just because, it is a SLB movie, I would be dare to go irrespective of cast.

After Hrithik Roshan came in “Kaho Na Pyar Hai” and Shahid Kapoor in “Ishq Vishq”, there is not much of hype or curiosity created like there is one for Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir comes from the family that creates enough interest to go and Watch the movie once. I think Sonam reminds me the innocent young face that, Manisha Koirala brought in Saudagar. She has simple yet effective look. She looks graceful enough to sustain the screen presence and certainly holds better future.

Music of the movie is certainly different. It is about 2 hour movie with 8 songs, so I guess all the songs would move the story or have something to say about the story. Title Song is topping the chart and overtaking Om Shanti Om, while Jab Se Tere Naina sung by Shaan is my personal favorite. Especially the song has very valuable use of Chorus which takes the song to the entire new level.

Less you know about the Story of the movie, More It is better. That will motivate the moviegoers to know, what would happen next. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, was more colorful and lot of use of Blue and Green Color in the movie ( be it in the saree or dresses or background or shirts). To Give Old Age Feeling, Devdas was given more Golden Color use. Black as the name suggests had certainly more dark scenes. I am eagerly waiting what sort of treatment Saawariya is going to get.
