Taking inspiration from reincarnated classics like KARZ, OM SHANTI OM is a torturing film in the name of entertainment. I immensely enjoyed FARAH KHAN's directorial debut ''MAIN HOON NA'', because the film had an interesting plot written by ABBAS TYREWALA with natural performance from SRK, SUSHMITA SEN, ZAYED KHAN & AMRITA RAO. But as OSO is concerned, none of these quality were present, Story was surely boring! Acting is affectively torturous.
Enjoyable, if a little long, original storyline, King Khan was pretty good (as usual) and Deepika Padukone was just... erm, well...er.. fit.
a shameless remake of KARZ and climax lifted from MADHUMATI. a brainless , stupid movie. finally a average time pass.
Several of the hottest women in India all in the same place.. in the same 5 minutes.. its quite overwhelming. Now when I saw Kajol, Rani, and Karisma on the screen, it was cool.. but then Priyanka Chopra who is absolutely breathtaking definitely made...

Now when I saw Kajol, Rani, and Karisma on the screen, it was cool.. but then Priyanka Chopra who is absolutely breathtaking definitely made Shanti's hiatus from the film less painful for those 5 minutes. lol. Deepika.. my god. The effect Shanti has on Om is the same effect Deepika has on me. haha. I loved this film, its absolutely hilarious, its got mad star power and Deepika is an absolute goddess.
Hollywood: can't give a rating because I doubt western society could relate to reincarnation or understand the humor, as a lot of it... well... ALL of it parodies Bollywood.
Bollywood: 5 stars.

It took me three nights to see it and all reality must be suspended to enjoy it. Highlights-seeing what Bollywood looked like in the 70s. The big number with cameos of other famous BW actors and by far one of the best movie scenes ever was the song which set up the bad guy. As always great colors and dancing.
There's nothing much to say about the story(just a fantasy), but the casting steals the show. S.R.K., Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal & Shreyas Talpade... Deepika Padukone is the most beautiful lady in the lead. The music has also given spice to this ...

Deepika Padukone is the most beautiful lady in the lead. The music has also given spice to this bollywood masala. Kudos to composer duo Vishal & Shekhar..
