Farah Khan Vs SLB

Heyo homiez, Belated Diwali WIshes to all the bloggers n my respects to those who spend some time to read unappealing posts of mine :-) Well, i don't blog without reasons, n this time around, its the buzz of the two big diwali releases in Bollywood that forced me to write this post. It seemed to be a clash of the titans on the eve of diwali when the nation awaited to hit the big screens to watch their favourite stars in OM SHANTI OM and to debug their eager senses wanting to check out the new comers in SAAWARIYA. Instead of reviewing the movies here in the same old cliched way which Kabir's Review Team(KRT) normally does, we decided to make a comparative study of the movies to enhance your judgement of which hits the pots of fortune and which doesn't. For the first time, KRT has made such a comparison between any two movies released simultaneously. Not only are we reviewing it this way, but Kabir saw the movies back to back in two consecutive days to rate the movies to the highest precision. But it ended up as a leopard n turtle race, one racing its way out into the lands and the other had no traces of even being in the race. Lol. The results n findings are presented below (Don't Be Surprised):

OM SHANTI OM
1. Characterization: Well defined, marvellously crafted n designed, very appealing, very new though being derived from the 70s.
2. Star Cast: Its SRK all the way (NQA-No Questions Asked), Deepika Padukone - Best Debutant 2007, Shreyas Talpande - proved his acting skills yet again, Arjun Rampal - carried out the role to the best for the first time in his career, The remaining guest appearances - surprises all through the movie and unbeatable excitement.
3. Direction: Farah Khan is now idolized as the Best Masala Movie Maker ever existed in Bollywood, her techniques and creativity are so fresh n full of surprises.
4. Music: Vishal n Shekhar are gona rule the industry next, they did it in Bluffmaster and so did they prove it again here.
5. Costumes: Karan Johar n Manish Malhotra(can you beat that), ultimate pleasure for the eyes to watch those colours of the 70s, well designed guys.
6. Screenplay: Each moment n each frame of the movie was filled with excitement and had given the audience no time to even check out their mobile phone inboxes.
7. Sets: Beautifully sculptured and carved out feel of the 70s, well done Art Directors. Man, the appreciations would keep running out of pages for this movie.
8. Best Scene: Cant specify one, there are loadz. The bullet-catching scene of Akshay Kumar, Shahrukh imitating Rajni Kanth, etc.
9. Special Attractions: U know them all; SRK's 6 pack, 31 stars in a single song, graphics all through the movie was overwhelming.
10. KRT's rating: 4.5/5 for an overall family entertainer.

SAAWARIYA:
1. Characterization: Was Sanjay Leela Bhansali(SLB) suffering from illness when he wrote his characters? Damn, Bollywood aint a fantasy world!!!
2. Star Cast: Quite a good star cast as debutants, both Ranbir n Sonam have done their parts good enough for justifying their acting skills. Sonam, plz learn to smile better (Lol).
3. Direction: That's the only good thing about the movie. After all it comes from the eyes of one of the biggest directors in the industry. SLB has encapsulated each of his frames with marvellous colours n lighting effects.
4. Music: Tried to be different, but couldn't make a mark. Umrao Jaan would be a preferable choice to listen to rather.
5. Costumes: There were hardly any for the hero, the same old cap n coat. Sonam n Rani had a better deal of costumes quite aesthetically crafted.
6. Screenplay: Ruined the whole movie,that says it all.
7. Sets: Too artificial to digest, doesnt appeal even a point-bit.
8. Best Scene: Probably THE END scene.
9. Special Attractions: Were there any or were we all sleeping to notice?
10.KRT's rating: 0.5/5 (just for the lights n colours). Damn, it isn't even worth watching on a pirated cd.

So homiez, u know where to head to this weekend if u havent seen it... Toh bolo.. Ommmmmmm... shantiiiiiiiiii... ommmmmmmmmmmmmm...!
