Rajat Arora comes out with some juicy masala loaded writing in the clash between Haji Mastaan's daryadilli and Mr.D's ambition,now only if the spices were allowed to be marinated long enough,it would have been a well done recipe so without the above one feels there is something missing!
The story is very haphazardly written with main focus given to the look,feel and dialogue(s) which are forcibly inserted into the scene and the shots where silence could have played hero,Milan Luthria planned something else altogether.
The background score is really haunting and stays with you even after the movie is long over,now the only glitch is,it is not original and you feel miserable that it has been lifted from Black Strobe's "I'm a Man".
Ajay's performance stands out as the suave,composed robinhood an act he performed once not so long long ago in RGV's "Company",Emraan is the rebelious young gangster and he fits perfectly in the avatar only if he could polish his diciton skills,the ladies are a treat to watch and they remain so.A special mention should go to the eye candy Randeep Hooda who played the sutradhaar.
All said and done,Milan Luthria puts together a canvas which takes life a few decades back and amazes us with the look and feel thoug my dream of watching salim-javed written Yash Chopra directed don saga "DEEWAR" on big screen or something similar,still seems to be a distant dream.
In the age of "Shit &Sugar"(read:candy floss cinema),a brave attempt by a daredevil team(Balaji telefilms) esp after LSD,we need to look out for their next venture.
For me OUATIM is definetly worth a single watch.
My fav punches:
1."Aaj ka kaam kal pe choda toh aaj bura maan jayega" new age Kabir!
2."Life ho toh smuggler jaisi,duniya raakh jaise neeche aur tum dhuan jaise upar"
3."Himmat batayi nahi dikhayi jaati hai"
4."Raaste ka fikar kiya toh manzil bura maan jayegi"
5."Main woh kaam karta hun jiski ijaazat sarkar nahi deti woh kaam nahi jiski ijazat zameer nahi deti"
6."Dua mein yaad rakhna"

You should watch NAYAGAN (tamil-Kamal hasan)....almost on the lines of OUATIM....(loosely based on vardarajan mudaliyar...who is also one of the characters in Once upon a...called Varadan)
