OSO and Heroes

Saw OSO last evening. Rave reviews from Kits & Neeta had me thinking ok you can do this (3 hrs of SRK are normally too much for poor mind to handle) Harish hadnt seen the movie either.
So the 2 of us decided to catch the saturday afternoon or evening show.

Starcity near my place was theatre of choice. Went there only to find all shows going houseful (come on who are they kidding!! was thought in head) found dubious black market tickets being touted outside the theatre at jacked up prices. The theatre had also increased prices to 150/170 instead of their normal 80/100/120 rates. Everyone was out to make a quick buck.

Disappointed we looked at other options. Harish was all for No Smoking again ....me saying are u mad of course I' m not suffering 3 hrs of John Abraham. Luckily for me Gods were on my side :D Its gone from theatres everywhere.

Called up Cinemax & Inox as a last option. Found that Milan subway Inox had tickets available for the 4.30 show (it was about 3.45) decided to risk it, took a cab there. Reached in nick of time around 4.10, bought tickets, saw show.

Strangely half the theatre was empty when the movie started. So much for people thronging to see it. Most ppl were like us last minute tickets bought for the show.

Can say this about the movie, Deepika is gorgeous. SRK is himself. Everyone hams thoughout the movie. So its totally a self indulgent movie. We were entertained. Laughed a lot thru the movie. The climax was too long & stretched (definitely could have been shorter) Loved all the movie jokes interspersed throughout the movie.

Both Harish & I were smiling as we left the theatre. Both agreed this was a one time only movie. Cannot sit through that again.

Traffic as usual was horrendous on SV Road. Took a rickshaw to Bandra Station. Saw long queues of cabs waiting there. Strangely not one cabbie fellow was ready to go to Dadar. I was left thinking where the hell do these guys want to go? They all sat patiently waiting for a fare when me a ready to pay passenger was left standing on road with 25 cabs behind me; trying to hail a passing one. Felt a bit surreal!!!

Got a passing cab in 5 minutes and headed home :) We had eaten at inox so wasnt hungry, skipped dinner & decided to watch heroes (7 & 8 episodes were calling out & saying watch us now!!)

I love that series; you get so involved in all the characters. They have twisted the story line in a amazing new direction. Love Hiro (poor guy had to leave lady love behing in 1671...how sad is that) Can't wait for the next few episodes.
