The movie is everything but shanti! Over-hyped would be clearly an understatement. I am glad I didnt spend a single penny to watch it... Saw it on a dvd and had the privilige to fast fwd those painfully-boring-un-hummable songs which were just packed into the movie for the heck of it and had no connection with the story whatsoever.
When I had watched Farah Khan's directorial debut 'Main Hoon Na' I thought it was pretty bad and overly dramatic... But after seeing OSO I feel MHN was way better.. at least it was entertaining. There is absolutely nothing new in this movie. The story is the same old one about rebirth/reincarnation which has already been used in hundreds of bollywood movies.. The transformation from Om Prakash to Om Kapoor in the second half isn't handled well and is far from convincing. Coming to music, the only song worth listening to is 'Aankhon mein teri...' And I still fail to understand what Farah was trying to do with the 30+ bollywood stars in the song Deewangi... Akshay Kumar's 'Return of Khiladi' shown in the movie is priceless! Watch the movie and you will know what i'm talking about :) Shreyas talpade is quite funny in the first half but he is wasted completely in the second half.. Deepika Padukone hyped to be the next super star in bollywood does nothing to shine as an actress.. She defnitely looks awesome with those excellent 70's costumes in first half and the modern look in the second .. but is that all?? we want to see some acting too!!
Lessons learnt :)
- If a movie is heavily marketed, there's not going to be much substance in it!
- You can market/sell any crap in bollywood!

"...but is that all?? we want to see some acting too!!" - for some of us that is sufficient :)
Ya, i have heard bad things about the movie too. But then, you HAVE to watch either OSO or Saawariya and i have heard worse things about Saawariya. Think i will go watch OSO soon :)
why am i not surprised with ur first comment :P
You can save urself some misery by not watching either of them.. but ya if u HAVE to watch, then OSO is a better choice!
painfully-boring-un-hummable songs?
total disagreer. ankhon mein teri and mein agar kahoon are very hummable. u cant ask for more than 2 good songs in a movie these days, can u?
@josh
thats exactly what i've written in my post.. aankhon mein teri is the only good song in the movie... anyway, the other one u have mentioned, i didnt find it that great... tastes differ, i agree :)
