oso isnt the worst movie ever.....

For the sake of some of my friends, who are dead-against the movie, I will start with the negative points (but then don't blame me for ending on a positive note).

For starters, the part which disappointed me the most was Akshay Kumar's scene(which others said was the best part of the movie). The whole scene was lifted from a video (and honestly, the video was better). Then, the editting, especially in the 2nd half, is probably the worst ever for a big-budget movie in recent times. There are parts where you can notice cuts even in the dance-sequences in songs.
The screenplay, especially in the 2nd half, is pretty shoddy. Farah seems to get confused at times, whether she is actually making a spoof or a movie. More time is allocated to the 'fun' part than the actual story which seems to be hurried consequently. On the whole, it is the 2nd half which disappoints on some fronts.

Now for the positive side....
In general, aiming to make a certain kind of movie and actually making it according to your plans are completely different things. Some films raise expectations of being technically good but end up being completely confused ventures (remember DHOOM 2 which even disappointed in its action sequences-honestly, Sanjay Gadhvi had no idea what he was making).
This is exactly what works for OSO. It wasn't supposed to be a path-breaking cinema and it sure wasn't. Farah seemed to be completely clear that she was making (it is a different thing though that she seems to have got carried away). She wanted a fun and a leave-your-brains-at-home kinda movie and thats what she's managed.
After having absolutely no expectations(courtesy the views of some friends of mine), the 1st half was a pleasant surprise. It had its moments. The scene where Deepika is introduced in the movie is sweet and is backed up by awesome background support.Certain lines "Tum bore toh nahi ho rahi?" and the scene where Om thinks of what to say while receiving an award linger in the mind for some time.
SRK and Shreyas, both are pretty good in the comedy scenes with the 'Yanna-Rascala' scene being the high point (it is really good).
The scene where Om and Shanti die and the last scene of the movie are pretty good on special effects. The scenes have been shot pretty realistically and are impressive by Indian standards.

There are some logical inconsistencies too but I had expected many more, so no issues there. One of my friends called OSO a '3-hour joke' (I call him Nirma). That in a way, is a compliment coz the movie does raise laughs and the makers succeed in what they set out to achieve and that is to make a movie which appeals to the masses. Though the timing is a bit debatable as it comes after 'Chak De India' which was a perfect contrast to this movie.
The film is surely worth a watch but only if somebody goes without much expectations since the film is not one which Farah and SRK mean the viewers to take seriously. And yes, the film is the not best ever and won't count as one of SRK's better movies but it surely isn't as bad as some people(the 'niche audience') think it is.
