Oh darling yeh HAI India.. abhi
This movie is an ambitious daring film for its time. Although the whole story and dialog is reminiscent with a theatrical (broadway like) play where costumes, symbolic acts, and singing dialogs reveal the story. It must have been extremely hard to orchestrate into a film, and unfortunately with little success. The nice thing about this film is that symbolism is well crafted and touch upon relevant issues in every country but mostly India. I started noticing the symbolism in simple things attributed in the movie which shows the director's appeal for an intellectual audience. Another nice thing is that the film makes use of Shah Rukh Khan's exuberant energy in a satisfying manner. The acting was well for the genre of the film, but very theatrical like and at times you feel the un comfortable switch between screen and theater actors which makes it hard to move through scenes. The songs are bad but its inevitable when many critical story and thematic words are being used. Deepa Sahi is not the perfect choice to pair with Shah Rukh. She constantly looks like his mother rather than his love interest. She can't carry the character at all and over-does it many times. Their pairing in the two movies they did together must have been of the worst i have ever seen for Shah Rukh.. and i have seen them all. But i guess she is the director's favorite (or upper hand) and i can't think of another actress for the film, but i know any younger, more Indian girl would have been better. Many actors in this movie are recognizable as supporting role actors, so this film must have been a break in their struggling period. This is a somewhat black comedy but it is not a comedy. Its an over dramatized to fantastical measures to fit the critical issues it is addressing. Overall, it is worth a watch if you like Shah Rukh Khan, symbolic films, or a brief encounter with India's struggle for life is an artistic way.
a farce on how India is being treated like a commodity
I think it was a great fun film because it was India's first farce. It was refreshing as it was different from the usual predictable movies with cardboard characters and in fact won many awards in Bengal. Indians who have a sense of humor loved it..so will you!Also Javed Jaffery and Shahrukh were great.Ketan Mehta is an interesting director and likes to experiment with his films, so it is always a pleasure to see what he will come up with next.Deepa Sahi too is a good change from the usual Hindi filmy style of acting. She dares to be different each time. Though people accused the film I hear of being anti nationalist, if you look closely it isn't at all. In fact it tries to say how some vested interests are hawking off the country!
An amazing movie brimming in sarcasm and dark humor.
"Oh Darling Yeh Hai India" is one of the best black humor films made in India. The story-line was innovative and a breath of fresh air in typecast Bollywood. A tug of war over both India, the country, and Ms. India, the prostitute, take place simultaneously. A rich and power hungry man and a poor man on the street, both in love with Ms. India, fight to have her to themselves. While a corrupt politician and an evil don try to pimp the country India to the highest international bidder. Who wins? Good or evil? The rich and powerful, or the common man? Who loves India the best? What happens to India, the country and India, the woman? With great songs distributed freely through the film - this movie is a great example of the Indian musical. If you haven't seen this film and enjoy a good black film - watch it.
Do you call this a movie?
Although one of the songs was good, the movie was a disaster. The storyline line was..actually no storyline. There is not semantic of this movie. If anyone would want to watch this movie, go an pick something else but this. The villains existed in this movie but the problem with this movie movie was that the regulars like Shah Rukh Khan and Anupam Kher were all brought to shame and looked like as if they were the skeleton of the real actors. I have seen it once and never again. There is no language in this movie.
Crazy weird but ahead of it's times
In 1990s when normal formula films were the order of the day, this was a rare film. In fact it released in 1995 when Srk was attaining stardom with DDLJ and Karan Arjun being blockbusters while a few turkeys as well, this being one of them. This film was more of a parody on Bollywood romance and everything It's nonsensical, yet it works well in many parts. There are some looseends as well and at times it borders on being stupid yet it makes you entertained Direction by Ketan Mehta is good Music is superb, in fact the film uses songs to convey situations and though there are too many songs they work well Shahrukh Khan gets a chance to show his exuberant 90s style of hamming and his acting suits the film, Deepa Sahi is alright but her pairing with Srk doesn't work Jaaved Jaffrey is good as the villain, Amrish Puri reprises his roles of MR India and Tahalka and is good, Anupam Kher has a double role and is good as ever, while the film has many talents of today as small roles in that film like Prashant Narayanan, Sanjay Mishra.etc
