Om Shanti Om

The real, long awaited entertainer from Bollywood's King Khan banged the boxes !!!! The much propagandised 'Dreamy Girl' Deepika Padukon blasted the spectators' minds too....

Of course, Farah Khan will be happy today having been transformed a simple, much pictured fantasy into an ecstatic film. And it is obvious, too, that the film will remind us the former bollywood masties like Karz, Karan - Arjun etc. But even a single scene in the movie won'tl launch you into boredom.

Om Shanti Om tells the story of Om [Shah Rukh Khan] and Shanti [Deepika Padukone]. Om is a junior artist in the 70s. Shanti is the reigning superstar. He is her biggest fan. He is in love with her. Om dreams of being a superstar, but an incident changes his life forever.
Om dies in a mishap, but is reborn into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise…

The post-interval portions only get better and better! And the second half is filled with tricks and mystery.

In a nutshell Om Shanti Om does not have a strong storyline. But the story telling which the director envisages concocts an elegance. The multi-star co operated song itself thrashes the theatres. Vishal-Shekhar's music is first-rate. The score is in sync with the content of the film and what accentuate the goings-on are the choreography and execution.

To sum up, Om Shanti Om is 'paisa vasool' entertainment. We haven't seen SRK in a hardcore masala film since quite some time. He had drifted to other genres, which proved his range as an actor of repute and cemented his status further. With Om Shanti Om, he gives back to the audience what he himself grew up on -- a thorough entertainer that will have the audience thirsting for more. But the 'picture abhi baki hey meri dost!!!'
