Om Shanti Om,a home production of Shahrukh Khan is a very good entertainer that will have the audience want for more. This is a typical Manmohan Desai film made in a new avtaar by Farah Khan. Its a brilliant movie by Mushtaq Shaikh and Farah Khan (screenplay). Certain incidents happen, and Shah Rukh Khan is murdered. Shah Rukh Khan plays a junior artist who dies during the 70s but is reborn as a superstar and starts to remember his previous life.
In the first half of the movie there are several moments of comedy : the premiere of ‘Dreamy Girl’, the Manoj Kumar episode, Ghai directing Rishi on ‘Om Shanti Om’ song etc. The second half moves into a total new zone. SRK finds his lady love ShantiPriya, played by Deepika Padukone, who was the love of Om in his first life.
Another jhatka is when Arjun Rampal takes Deepika to the set of his film 'Om Shanti Om' and the entire episode that follows, right till the intermission, is spellbinding. The very fact that Om Shanti Om is a Manmohan Desai kind of a film set in the present-day, it would be foolish to ask questions or raise eyebrows and look for logic.
On the whole, Om Shanti Om is is an out and out Bollywood masala in its truest form and at its best.
