When making a movie with a message the message by itself is as important as the execution. The message by itself is the problem of a very well executed 'Halla Bol'.
1. Pankaj Kapur turns in a riveting performance. This is his movie. Watch him tackle his former mate and some goons to save a chick. And then watch him in his 'nukkad nataks'.
2. OSO took us inside Bollywood. But we all know it is not as nice a place as it was made out to be. It has a dark side. I guess that was what this movie was meant to bring out to the public. But this film does not achieve that. Although it starts in that direction it diverts to the oft repeated theme that a bystander can't claim he or she is innocent.
3. Typical Raj Kumar Santoshi movie. He is in his elements here.
4. Vidya Balan is wasted.
5. The main plus with this film is that it has no songs. Oh! I think it has one song but it didn't really hurt me.
A well intended and well executed film which works only as a well executed film.
RATING: 3/5

1) Agreed , Pankaj Kapoor is been good in the movie..though I thought in some scenes he went overboard to an extent of overacting few scenes...
2) OSO was a fun movie , with all the razzmatazz associated with a typical SRK movie and though it didnt convey any message..it didnt even bore you ...
3)Not a typical Raj Santoshi movie..Check out Damini, Ghayal in which this director have raised the social issues in most effective way. Raj Santoshi has flawed in this movie.
4)I thought the story itself had many flaws...Though the actor's struggling days were shown, his falling into corruption was not properly shown...
5) AD according to me was the better performer than anyone in the movie....
my rating 2.5/5 ..Not worth spending 2.5 hours :))
