Omkara!

Well, we didn't the "white" in the "black" ticket we bought :)!!

Anyways, a few more comments about the movie:

The bad guy in the movie is Rahul Dev,who is born in Pakistan, brought up in Mangalore and finally, finally dies in Mumbai. He first started the topic of Mohd. of Ghazni after which Muddy built his views. Now, he is a Mumbai don who also speaks a little bit of kannada. Someone has lent his voice to Dev for both Hindi and Kannada dialogues in proper textbook hindi!!
Egs.. Tu kaisa mard hai ? (Read it in a southi accent) Atleast, it not full textbook hindi, they've managed to only one Mumbaiya word 'Launde' and Rahul Dev's voice uses this word ever other nanosecond with panache!

The omkara has special powers, the holy books say. It is shown in full light in the movie, literally!! When uppi draws an Omkara on his chest with a knife, it emits so much light that the villains are blinded for a minute!! Something like that shampoo ad in which the guy get blinded for a while because of the girl's "shining" hair!

Rahul Dev locks the dying heroine in a car, and gobbles the key. Then he challenges uppi to rip his stomach and take the key out! I expected the same to happen. But uppi first jumped some 200 mtrs in the air ( u can guess the distance, the camera is shown from Uppi's side which shows Rahul Dev getting tinier and tinier) and then lands on Dev's stomach and Dev spits out the key!

Like Nidhi said, the songs were quite difficult to understand. There was one song in which we found out at the end of the song that they are singing in all possible languages like Bengali, French, Italian etc...

In the middle, there is another song which Muddy seemed very interested in for reasons u know why!

I enjoyed the comedy scenes among Sadhu Kokila as "Londonraj" and Bank Janardhan as the film producer!

Many more things can be said but need some more time to think. Plz post ur comments!
