Om shanti Om was marketed heavily as biggest entertainer of the year
through all its promo so when I went in Cinema I had that in mind and
inspite of some high expectations( I liked the film . infact I loved it
(call me a biased SRk Fan but I really did) . OSO is actually 2 movies
incorporated into one .
First movie – is a spoof on the 70s with some story( a mild love story at best)
incorporated into it . but its extraordinary . its all done in a
good way with awesome humour and clearly shows Farah flair in comedy .
Srk for the first time in his career did comedy well . particularly
look out for Bhagoo, Mind it, Manoj Kumar(he should be feeling good
that atleast people remember his name) scenes and even Sooraj barjatya
scene which are exceptional . Shreyas does really well here and shares
tremendous chemistry with Srk . Kirron Kher plays filmi ma brilliantly
and one just cant help but laugh at dialogues and overacting
expressions. Deepika is awesome here . Her smile is enough for me .
Don’t ask for acting as I couldnot concentrate on it . . Arjun Rampal looks Dashing and to my
surprise even acted well .
Farah khan does very well here and brings all his knowledge of film in
front . Starting of the movie is a big plus point and sets the ball
rolling .
Special mention – I didn’t read in many reviews about this scene but
did you see Duplicate Govinda at the canteen . it was done very nicely
.
Second movie – it’s a Revenge story basically and taking forward
the mild love story of first half forward . the Pace slows down here
but still Farah put all the gimmicks to keep the viewer interested till
the full revenge Dama starts going on . Filmfare scene with Abhsihek(
Dhoom5), Akshay( Return of Khiladi) are superbly done . Again Srk
shows how much secure he is as a actor by clearly making fun oh himself
. Farah also must be credited of using touching scenes really well the
Batli Award first in first half and then in Filmfare Award is superbly
done and for sure one of the best scene of the film .
Srk plays as usual in second half while Shreyas, Kirron kher don’t get
much chance same with Deepika( though her expressions when she sees Om
first time in 2007 and the smile in the end are awesome). Arjun does
well in the confrontation scenes with Srk .
Farah as a director does strictly ok in second half as the return of
memory Part was not done properly and on feels it was too fast .
Overall she does well in the film but the lack of connections btw two
halfs is a minor or major(as one takes) fault on her part.
Shirish kunder please you are more suited as Editor than director
please stay to that job. V manikanandan cinematography is awesome and
captures the background brilliantly . Sabu cyrils art directions is as
per the need and not excessive . Sandeep Chowata Welcome back and what
a brilliant background music he gives with all the notes at right point
. look out for the scene where deepika tries to scare Arjun or when
Arju brings deepika on the sets of the OSO or Om-Shanti before parting
in both halfs.
Vishal Shekhars music rocked on screen .
Rating – 7+ 0.5( for the brilliant end credits)/10
