Omakara was a good movie, but my only regret was that the language used was more Meerut based (jat style) and very little percentage of UP people speak that way. I would have loved if the language was more like the way majority of people speak. Despite that, hats off to Vishal Bharadwaj.

Is it just me , or does every one love Onkara?

I found it disppointing to say the least. The Backdrop overwhelmed the Story. The Slangs, the violence all seemed unnecessary. The focus shifted from Onkara to LT altogether, and Cassio’s character was reduced to little more than a furniture. Onkara/Othello’s inner world never came forth. The performance was ordinary to say the least. Ajay Devgan was sleepwalking, Konkona was hamming to glory.
Saif Ali Khan was really good but he peaked too early in the film and during the end it was nothing new to do. Director’s fault though, not anyone elses.

OTOH, loved KANK, of course have to xcuse KJ of his melodrama and silly humour, but KANK was one of those few films which never took a side, never became judgemental. Its was coated in a lot of lollypop and candy sugar, but when they came out to hurt, the characters cut deep – SRK the cynic, Priety the bitch, Rani – the ice princess and ABJ the Jerk. And ggod, bad, melodrammatic watever I cant help lauding the director for simply having the guts to make a fairytale out of a extramarital affair, and that too remaining in the set-up of mainstream Yash-Raj Bollywood.

Jaaneman could have been a gr8 film, but it lost focus somewhere. If only it had remained in the non-sense instead of going for a straight story in the end.

Wonder y RDB is missing though?

Kabool Express is a pathetic piece of carap which once start goes on for ever. Never finishes. What was the director wanting to show? A Travelog? Thank god the movie was just 1 and half hour. 150 Bucks for 1.5 hours? I wished it was just of half an hour. Arshad Rcoked. John was a misfit. So was the Donkey.

@Vimal: Yes Hum Dono was quite funny.

@Confused: Very very much disagree still. Did you see KKG on DVD/at a theatre or online?

GB,

Just to clarify, I was talking about the ‘look’ of the movie and not the themes it explores.

Guess, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

(Which will help in case, if in future someone accuses me of being you or you of being me or whatever…:)

Hey GB, Good you mentioned ‘Hum Dono,’ I really liked that movie. Within the traps of hindi movie cliches, this movie was a briliant attempt. And I particularly liked Rishi Kapoor in his role. He is one brilliant actor which bombay couldn’t milk properly. He was again brilliant as a husband torn between his edealistic wife and his loyalty towards his family in Damini. He brought some class in that role.
