Oye: A review


NOTE: Satanputr pleads the readers not to take this review to heart & watch the movie themselves to form their opinion. Whatever views that have been expressed only reflect the personal opinion of the "son of the devil" i.e me. Lastly, I would like to thank Lamboo a.k.a the arcticmonkey for giving me the idea of writing movie reviews on my blog.

Once upon a time, there is a dude. Born to a rich dad whose face we never get to see, he lives bindaas partying and globetrotting. Around the same time,there is a girl or may I say a "Lady" who lives according to a To-Do List and doesn't sleep without writing her dairy. He believes in cherishing the short and sweet moments of life and detests anything permanent. She like things well planned and which come with a lifetime warranty. So, the opening shots are spent trying to make these differences obvious to the viewers. And finally, one fine day, the dude lays his eyes on the girl and falls in love and tries to woo her only to realize he isn't exactly her kind of material. The rest of the first half deals with how he wins her heart only to learn that she is dying soon. The second half is a lame rip off from the "The Bucket List" where the girl decides to let her hair loose and check out the life the dude way before everything is over. At the end of it all, you leave the multiplex in a dazed and confused state trying to figure out why did they make this movie.
The subject picked was stupid and has already been exhaustively used in Tollywood. The treatment is lame. Absolutely no innovation anywhere and the reason given for the hero & heroine's "Oh! It is so much fun" trip to Kasi even when she is dying is even more lame. Sunil's comedy is again repetitive and sometimes gross. Only the Chatrapathi comedy track was slighly laughable. And leaving out the first two songs there wasn't much in the movie. I must mention here that I really didn't have the patience to sit through the remaining songs and spent that time in the rest room setting my hair and having some pop-corn outside in the lobby. So, am not really the right person to comment on the songs.
Final verdict: Not worth the time, money or the effort if you are looking for some good entertainment. But, considering that there aren't any good movies around, it isn't such a bad movie if you really wanted to hit the multiplex.

Well as far as the movie goes... except for few scenes... the movie is a complete trash.
Only the ones on which I worked on ( like the titles) are good :P
