Om Shanti Om - A Tribute to Indian cinema

If you are a true film buff, then Om shanti Om is a film just for you, a true masala film, a true Indian film, a true entertainer.

The film shows the passion towards the films and film industry of masses and above all the people who are associated with it.


OSO is inspired by Karz, and in 2007 they have successfully made a film of a retro genre and it entertains well.


The film is good spoof on the older hero's and and the melodramatic situations, things like the filmi maa and filmi dialogues, unsuccessful actors frustration, mannerisms of heros like rajesh Khanna, Manoj Kumar, Dev anand etc......


Few small bits in the first half are quite entertaining like the Govinda meeting SRK and shrayas, and Sooraj Barjataya writing the dialogues etc


Farah Khan has worked a lot on creating the retro period, costumes, hair style, constructions, cars etc, have been deeply worked upon and it pays off well.


First part of the film is more dramatic and well acted then the second half, in second half sharukh khan has done some over acting, but that is covered by the special appearances of the battalion of actors.......... specially Abhishek Bachchan and Akshay Kumar were good comeo......


Once Neha Dhupia has said in her interview "Sharukh and Sex sells" but this time it is "Sexy sharukh who sells", at 42 shaping up the body is a task, and he is actually looking good.


Farah khan, has created her signature directorial style, like Mai hun na, this film had nothing more than Entertainment to offer.... pure fun filled entertainment........... and the titles in the end were another of her style, where in she brought all teh back stage people in front of the camera.


Finally like all the reviews i wanna end by saying that.... OSO deseves *** (three stars) and a Thums up for Farah Khans effort.
