Om Shanti Om Dhamaka!


Yaa, Yaa, Yaa! Shah Rukh Khan does it again. Om Shanti Om seems to be welcomed by the crowds of Mumbai. A typical masala movie, OSO also hit the theatres on 9th November. Looks like Shah Rukh and Farah khan had a great Diwali. I was reading the reviews of this movie too. They are mixed. Some of them really welcome it . Many say it is an average, masala, over hyped Bollywood movie, but is on the run because of Shah Rukh Khan!

The idea of bringing in the 80's and 70's really worked. It created a nostalgia among the crowd.As per response of the public, the first half of the movie is really full of fun and humor and is colourful and the second half is really boring. SRK has over-acted but for sure is the crowd-puller and Deepika is a stunning beauty with immense talent. Farah Khan knows what her people want and has worked totally to fulfill it.

The story is about Om(SRK) and Shanti(Deepika). Om is an artist and Shanti is the ruling star of the 80's. Om is her fan and is deeply in love with her. Om dreams of becoming a big star, but he dies in a mishap. Om tries to discover the reasons for his death and comes into the present day world . It is here when we think that the movie has similarities with Shubash Ghai's "Karz." But Farah Khan has very beautifully led the story and it has lot of turning points and jhatkas.

The sets are colourful and lively. V. Manikandan's cinematography has distinction points. The songs and their picturisation are full of life and colourful and dazzling . They have catchy beats, as you all know.Looks like we have another mega block bluster after Chak De India!

Meera signs off for now.... stay tuned!
