Om Shanti Om Movie Review

Movie Review of Om Shanti Om

The highly promoted movie of the year Om Shanti Om that was being eagerly waited by the audience not only due to the presence of superstar Shahrukh Khan who is credited for the only blockbuster of the year 2007 Chak De India but also because it was being compared to the other big movie by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Saawariya.

The movie released on Diwali Om Shanti Om has got a great reviews from the viewers who find it to be a completely entertaining movie having all the needed masala to make it a blockbuster and many critics are also finding faults in the movie making after the first half of the movie gets completed. Many say that the movie gets too serious to digest after interval.

The story of the movie is about reincarnation of the boy Om Prakash (Shahrukh Khan), who is a struggling actor of Bollywood in 1970‘s in his previous birth and in love with a top actress of 1970 played by Deepika Padukone. Both of them get killed in an incident and in their next birth they come together to revenge their fatality in previous birth.

The story has lots of scope but the second half is not directed properly. Many technical mistakes are prevalent in the second part of the movie. The best parts of the movie are the songs that bring life to the slow pace of story many a time. The song having all the 31 stars is very obsessive and entertaining and Kajol gets most attention in the song.

The actor Shahrukh Khan and the new face Deepika Padukone are brilliant in their roles. The 70’s cinema of India shown in the movie is very entertaining. Roles by Shreyas Talpade and Kirron Kher are played well and the guest appearance by Akshay Kumar is noticeable. Arjun Rampal needs to perform few more negative roles before getting expertise on it. Good comedy scenes and comments on Bollywood are plus points of the movie.

Overall the movie has many entertaining aspects and the audiences are going to the theatre to view the movie but the loopholes in the movie can not be ignored and audience is not completely satisfied by the final delivered movie that was hugely promoted before its release.
