ओम शांति ओम (2007)

The movie is by far the worst of Srk. Totally over the top acting. Melodramatic scenes, reincarnation as the subject and really nothing in the storyline. In brief a total wastage of mind and money. The only plus point of the movie is the songs and the cinematography with a apt description of the 70's era

Om Shanti Om fits in all genres - Action, Comedy, Drama, Musical, Romance and Thriller. Farah tried to give a retro look with this movie but she wasn't quite able to make critics happy with her this movie. Om Shanti Om was a debut movie of Deepika Padukone. It gave a lot of fame to her.
Om Shanti Om had a very old-school plot - love story and rebirth. Movie starts with scenes of 70s flying over moving onto modern present world.
Om was a junior artist in his previous birth, he loved the then lady superstar Shanti. Shanti had already marriage plans with a biggie producer Mukesh. One day, Om on shoot saves Shanti's life. This incidence brings Om in her light. Om becomes a good friend with Shanti. They become close. Mukesh couldn't resist Shanti getting closer to a junior artist. This was not good for his status and he had a fear she might fell in love with him. Mukesh starts hating Shanti for her felling in love with Om. Mukesh plans to murder Shanti. Om had already listened Mukesh making plans. He goes to save Shanti and couldn't help her out save her life. She dies. And Om is too murdered by the Mukesh. Om and Shanti takes rebirth and further story is how they in future help Mukesh get the same fate as they got in past.
The movie is a true drama. A very nice challenge for a actor. Shahrukh Khan as Om was stunning, well he's a badshah no doubts. Arjun Rampal as Mukesh looked very nice as bad. Deepika was a surprise package. She was the apple of the eye. Other actors Kirron Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Satish Shah, etc also did a impressive job.
The movie had a great hit music, ty Vishal-Shekhar. Screenplay very strong, dialogues decent, plot average and setup looked like a setup.
I'll give it a 3.5
