Saanwariya vs. Om Shanti Om: A Diwali Treat
The release of two Bollywood blockbusters-Saanwariya and
The nation’s Bollywood fans are in a ditzy debating whether Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saanwariya or Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om is going to top the charts this Diwali. The options are equal for both movies. On the one hand where Saanwariya introduces Neetu and Rishi Kapoor’s son Ranbir Kapoor opposite Bollywood superstar, Anil Kapoor’s daughter, Sonam, Om Shanti Om is likely to cash upon model turned actress Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan.
After the mega success of Shah Rukh Khan’s Chak De India, people are looking forward to receiving another hit from the Superstar. What’s more his six pack abs have become the talk of the decade!
It is said that Shah Rukh took advice from Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan in order to transform for the movie. But King Khan is not happy with the final outcome. On the contrary, he feels quite shy to reveal his six pack abs and said that he would never have done it if it weren’t for Farah. Shah Rukh Khan is said to have spent at least three hours in the gym everyday.
Ranbir Kapoor is in news for showing off his body on the song ‘Jab se tere naina’ in Saanwariya. It is indeed the first song that has been shot in Bollywood showing off a male waltzing in a towel.
Kiran Sud, Student says, “It is actually funny to see Ranbir dancing to the tunes of a song dressed in a towel. It is usually the women who are shown dancing around in towels.”
Ridhi Chawla, beautician says, “I quite like Ranbir in a towel. It is for the first time that someone has thought of highlighting male sensuality on screen. In fact, his six pack abs have been portrayed in a very soft way. He looks awesome.”
Harsh Kumar, executive says, “I love Deepika Padukone. She has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. Om Shanti Om is going to be a mega hit.”
The two movies are not only being released on the same day but are also likely to bring about a revival in the world of fashion.
Aarti Aggarwal, fashion designer says, “I think, with the release of Om Shanti Om, some of the 60s styles will be revived in a big way. Fashions keep repeating themselves and this is the prefect time to make a comeback. After Diwali, most of the people will be preparing for Christmas and New Year. The churidars and frock suits shown in Saanwariya will also make a comeback.”
Another astonishing fact about both the films is that Ranbir’s dad, Rishi Kapoor starred on the song ‘
Madhvi Khurana, Media consultant says, “This is pure coincidence, Rishi Kapoor acted in Karz, a movie made on reincarnation and now a movie on similar lines is being released on one of the number’s picturised on him ‘Om Shanti Om’. Ranbir is also making his debut that day.”
The two films have got Bollywood fans going crazy. They are eagerly awaiting the release of the two films and you bet it’s going to be House full on Diwali.
