EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Touted to be the biggest release of Shah Rukh Khan ever, Om Shanti Om is a pocketful of funny moments and equally intense glitches. If you are awaiting an out and out entertainer then Om Shanti Om is going to disappoint your perception.

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika are the lone winners in the film, with the fair amount of ham and subjective beauty minus acting. Nevertheless, the entangling storyline of Om Shanti Om is a remix of contemporary Bollywood setting and an eye capturing scenario from the 70s.

The story of Om Shanti Om, as the world knows is based on the reincarnation theme. The plot bears resemblance to Subhash Ghai’s musical hit Karz. Living under the faith of mother (Kirron Kher) and friend Pappu (Shreyas Talpade), is a junior artist Om Prakash Makhija. Om aspires to strike gold in the Hindi Film industry with his acting stint. Like most masala flicks, apna hero has a sugary eye for popular actress Shanti Priya (Deepika Padukone).

Om gets introduced to Shanti during a fire accident, which revokes happiness in the heart of Om. Likewise, Om’s dreams get shattered when he comes to know that Shanti is secretly married to film producer Mukesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal).

Life comes to a standstill, when Om witnesses the murder of Shanti Priya at the hands of Mukesh. The reason for this ruthless act of Mukesh act was Shanti’s unwanted pregnancy, that had hurt his conscience. The 1970s story comes to a full stop when Om gets killed in a fight with Mehra’s men.
