They made use of a lot of spinning and camera rotation throughout this film. And to the artists who wrote and sang the music for Om Shanti Om - for stealing from Karz directly - and yet creating something entirely new. And again - it points to the artistry of the writers for Karz that they could write melodies that would be so haunting and so adaptable to a different style.
So - hearing the original songs that the writers for Om Shanti Om were stealing from - was awesome. I own the soundtrack to Om Shanti Om - and LOVE that music.
This movie - I was with him and rooting for him the whole time - and yes - his acting was so good in a pivotal scene - it made me cry. Granted, I did like Rishi in Kabhi Kabhie - but I still found him - odd. Even in this movie - there were times when it looked painful how awkwardly and roughly he was pulling his partner into a spin. I don't like how rough Rishi is with his dancing partners and he's not a very good dancer. I understood I was supposed to root for him in the love triangle, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Like in Chandni - I found him really annoying even though I totally loved Sridevi and enjoyed the movie. So let's talk about this version of Karz (1980) 1st - The is the best thing I've seen Rishi Kapoor in. I had no idea that Om Shanti Om had anything to do with Karz while I was watching Karz 2008. Om Shanti Om is basically a reimagining of Karz 1980 by Farah Khan. I tell you all this because it's impossible for me to review this movie without referencing the other 2 movies since they are all related. Keep in mind, I already thought she was brilliant. And now that I've seen the original Karz - I have a much better understanding of Farah's brilliance. And I had no idea until just now - having just finished watching Karz 1980. In fact, Om Shanti Om is clearly Farah's reimagining of the story. Why is this important? Because - Farah Khan - who directed Om Shanti Om - borrowed heavily from Karz 1980 for Om Shanti Om. The other thing you need to know is that the only Hindi language movie I own on blue ray is Om Shanti Om. Which is always a fun geek experience - if you like the story, which I do. For me, viewing this movie was an exercise in seeing someone else's vision of this story play out. But it also meant - I already knew the story and how it was going to play out. Please be aware, I watched Karz 2008 (which is a remake of this movie) before seeing this version of the story.
