Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply A Masterpiece

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is one movie that is sheer perfection because it is exactly what it is supposed to be - over the top, dramatic, and a light hearted spoofy take on old world Bollywood with heartwarming characters and superb acting. Everything about this movie is spot on. Fantastic music, dialogues, and superb hamming by all actors. Hard to believe that this is Deepika Padukone's first movie as she more than holds her own against the inimitable SRK, who is at his absolute finest whether he's being silly, sensitive, or insanely dramatic. Kirron Kher is her usual superb self as the 'filmy ma', and Arjun Rampal smoother than well aged scotch as the archetypal villain. Shreyas Talpade is the real screen stealer though, for his finely nuanced performance as the hero's best friend. I love watching this one when I really want to remind myself that life doesn't have to be serious all the time, and that if things aren't okay as yet, it means 'picture abhi baaki hai mere dost!

Incredible production! Vibrant, colorful and utterly amazing. What starts off as a silly-ish comedy soon turns to a spectacular, dramatic musical with stunning visuals, photography and Phantom of the Opera-like scenes - just much better!!

This is a typical masala movie which has got nothing new. The story is a traditional old story. But the saving grace of the movie are Deepika and Farah Khan. Om Shanti Om is the story of Om, Shanti and Mukesh. Om is a struggling junior actor, Shanti is a established actress and Mukesh is a producer of the first league. Om is in love with Shanti and keeps talking to her poster all the time. In one of the fire accident in the sets Om rescues Shanti and then they become friends. Mukesh falls in love with Shanti, and when comes to know that she is pregnant, kills her. The witness to this murder is Om who is also killed by Mukesh's men.Om comes back in reincarnation as a star son to a very affluenced family in the movie industry. Shanti has also a clone as Sandy whom Om tries to use to take revenge on Mukesh with help of his mother and childhood friend Pappu. Om Shanti Om is a typical David Dhawan style entertainer. Storyline is a combination of a few old super hit movies like Milan, Karz and so on. The silliest part of the movie is when Shahrukh tries to copy Rajnikant and fails miserably. Some of the entertaining moments in the movie are the title song where all yesteryear actors appear; the commendable performance of Javed Sheikh (from Pakistan), the clean editing of the songs where Shahrukh and Deepika dances with all yesteryear's actors. Technically the movie is good, nice musics, nice cinematography, editing; but acting is a ham. The movie is superhit if you have left your brains in home.

I have seen my fair share of Bollywood movies, and was quite anxious to see this movie in particular as it was the first Hindi movie i owned on Blu-Ray, and boy did it not upset!! Watching this movie at home i was impressed, the lavish colours, beautiful sets and awesome intentional overacting!This movie is not meant for Filmfare awards, thats not why it was created. this is a sort of light-hearted black comedy that was created to entertain (even though it received 10 Filmfare award nods) i started watching this during a break from exam revision and ended up watching the whole thing, i just couldn't get enough.There are more cameo appearances than one could shake a stick at, and this made the film fun for the young or old, having family members pause the movie and trying to guess who they are is just awesomely well done and sooo captivating from Farah Khan, really brings people together, and ignites the Bollywood in you.This movie also introduces Deepika Padukone, and my gosh i could not believe this was her first movie. she was amazing, really lit up the screen when you saw how beautiful she is portraying a 70's heroine. SRK's performance and new appearance are both awesome, as hes allowed to act (and strut) his ass off, of which he does very well, and its understandable why he is crowned King Khan. all i can really say about him is "Vaah! Kya acting kar raha hai!... Vaah! Kya acting kar raha hai!"All in all this movie is fun, exciting, entertaining and a great laugh. i highly recommend viewing this on Blu-Ray and letting those lush on-screen colours EXPLODE!!
