Om Shanti Om Review
Technically Om Shanti Om is good, but as an entertainer, a major disappointment. The fact that it is such a terrible let down, is yet to sink in. What was Farah Khan (director) thinking? How could she make such a bad film, after directing a decent entertainer in Main Hoon Na? What was Shahrukh Khan thinking when he approved the script? How could almost everything go so wrong in a movie?
The movie has major flaws. Both the first half and the second have a lot of similarities, a few scenes actually are repeated! So if you miss the first half or you decide to walk out during the interval, dont worry, you haven’t missed much. The biggest flaw is you never feel for any of the characters, you laugh when the characters cry and vice versa. The transformation of Om Kapoor to Om Prakash in the second half, isnt handled well and is far from convincing. The transformation part is so very important in reincarnation movies, something which was handled brilliantly in Karan Arjun. The death scene, rebirth, flashbacks - needs expert direction, Farah unfortunately fails.
The script, screenplay and the direction is flawed. The dialogues are irritating. The only saving grace of the much hyped movie is the music. Main Agar Kahoon and Dard-e-Disco stand out.
Overall, another biggie that disappoints big time this year. I would be surprised if, die-hard SRK fans enjoy this. The only reason to watch it could be the technical brilliance!
So If Chak De India got 5 on 5 stars, this one deserves not a bit more than 1.
Post your comments below, I would love to know your views on Om Shanti Om.
Rating: 1/5
I think..u dont have good taste.
nice review…but even though i m not a SRK fan i beg to differ.
the sets/choreography and the acting make it worth watching. The whole idea is to show film making and the stereotype dialogs/ppl and all that , its a tribute to that whole idea.
so a 3/5 and “weekend entertainer” tag is what i give
i dont agree with ramesh at all. cant he see the efforts put in that film? its a mind blowing movie and i appreciate almost each and every aspect of the film. i think its a gr8 movie, way to go farah!!
