I’ve never seen Karz (1980), but I have seen the cool video clip here, “Om Shanti Om,” with Rishi Kapoor (playback singer Kishore Kumar) and remember thinking the first time I saw it, “Hey, those are the WRONG kind of Indians in this video!” I was delighted to see this same tune picturized in the beginning of Om Shanti Om (2007), which I had the pleasure of viewing tonight with some BFC members: Nandini-ji, Vik-ji, Inderjit-ji, aur Lisa-ji. Here are the LYRICS so you can sing along with Rishi/Kishore. ”Hey, tumne kabhi kisi se pyaar kiya? Kabhi kisi ko dil diya? Maine bhi diya! La la la la, la la la la…”

Here’s a fellow WordPresser review of Om Shanti Om that’s worth a read:
Picture abhi baaki hai, mere dost – a First Day First Show review of Om Shanti Om
If you compare new Karzzz with the old classic by subhash ghai it looks that himesh has just ruined the rich musical heritage. Neither the movie nor the music of new karzzz make you move. Dont you think so?
varinder singh,
Thanks for your visit. You know I didn’t even go to see Karzzz, since I did’t think it would measure up and hadn’t heard too much that was good about it.
