Om Shanti Om- In my point of view


If you want to sit back and simply enjoy the magic happening in the screen, Om Shanti Om (hereafter, OSO) is certainly for you. Farah khan has provided the viewers with a staple dosage of entertainment. By the time, your left brain raises questions about the possibility of rebirth and existence of spirits, your right brain suppresses such thoughts and commands you to appreciate the screenplay, dialogues and characterization in the movie. Of course, the music and actors are tower of strength. SRK rocks as usual.He has got ample scope for comedy, romance,sentiment, dance and fight in this movie. Kingkhan has utilized the opportunities to the fullest. In particular, he has handled two opposite characters well. He shows adequate differentiation in his body language as both poor "Om Prakash Makhija" and rich "Om Kapoor". Hats off to SRK!!

The greenhorn Deepika Padukone is sure to be a next big thing in bollywood. She looks gorgeous and full of life. In my opinion, of late, no bollywood actress is of stunning beauty other than Deepika.She plays the role of "Shanti", an actress who has made it big in the filmdom .She acts well too. What's more the future is going to be full of surprises for this young actress.

Disco and Om shanti Om are sure chart toppers in the composition of Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani. The highlight of this movie itself is the Om Shanti Om song, in which Farah surprises the viewers by introducing one star after another dancing for this song. At least, two dozens of stars make their appearance in this song. Thanks to the industry experience of the director! But she could have avoided the superstitious and cinematic treatment of the story. The climax vouches for the heights of superstition.

The cinematography by Manikandan and art direction by Sabu siril adds more strength to the story. In particular, the posh bangalow , which was set to fire with Shanti and Om alive, fails to leave our memory even after the end of the movie. Kudos to Sabu Siril for his excellent work. So if you believe in magic and don't care much for the logic , OSO is your kind of film.
