Movie Review: Om Shanti Om (2007)
Published by  Webmaster  at 09:59:43 am on November 9, 2007

Some of the scenes are extremely cool and humourous. Like the one where Shah Rukh portrays the character of a South – Indian actor and the Film Fare Awards sequence where Akshay Kumar just stands out. His nomination video is hilarious, something that gets noticed in the crowd of special appearances. Not to miss the scene where present day film maker Sooraj Barjatya is seen taking notes for his future films.

All said and done, the post interval section is so weak that one can walk into the theatre and get a complete rewind of the initial portions of the film. The screenplay is filled with loop holes, handled immaturely by director Farah Khan. The flashback, which holds a very important space in any reincarnation film, unleashes boredom to the core.

Technically, the film cannot be spared for its flaws in galore. But the music is a serious revelation, which again has been superbly choreographed by Farah Khan. The transformation from the 70s to the present day is made evident only through the fantastic score of the film.

Acting wise, Shah Rukh Khan is the saving grace of the film. He literally carries the whole film on his shoulders. In the process, he indulges in some of the worst hammy episodes performed in his acting career. Summarizing King Khan’s performance, he impresses in the first half but his transformation in the second part will leave you unsatisfied.

Green-eyed Deepika Padukone is given a dream debut with Om Shanti Om. The actress gets her space, characterization and dialogues, all that is needed for a promising silverscreen debut. Her first performance is more of gloss and less acting but she is one actress to look out for in the near future.

Shreyas Talpade is decent and so is Kirron Kher as an ‘over the board’ mother. Arjun Rampal needed a crash course on acting to excel in the well crafted negative role.

  1. bs movie. farah khan is a total amateur behind the camera, shah rukh is ok. rent it on dvd, direction is poor, screenplay is poor, not a well told story. saawariya was better, and not by that much either. both bakwas, disappointing diwali!

  15. Please do not waste your time and money watching this movie. It is crap. SRK’s acting is terrible. The movie was boring and the story was silly. Please do not watch on big screen..you will fall asleep. Wait for DVD or VCD. That’s why only he could produce this movie…no one else was ready to put any money on this crap movie.

  17. “No one else was ready to put any money”, hahahaha. SRK is laughing and with him the distributors. People in the whole world are enjoying OSO, because it is a nonsense film. It makes you laugh, cry, scare, enjoy.
    The people who felt asleep during the film have no sense of humor.
    The songs are great,people go watch OSO en emjoy a masala flick.

    really saying, i did not even get a wink of sleep in the cinema! that was cooooool!

    SRK and DEEPIKA have acted very well… the story neither goes very fast nor too slow… it is jst the correct speed(lol)!
    the last scene is full of innumerable twists! dat gives more pleasure 4 watching.

    ppl who don’t like om shanti om nor srk are all very big “FISHES”!!! haha!

  27. I seldom watch hindi movies. and I have fallen asleep in some. But this one was different. The reason why it is going to be a super duper hit is why karz became a cult classic. The story is superb and so is the climax. Totally unexpected. Role reversal, masala, action, magic is all there. The thing which gives hollywood a run for their money is the magic here.
