THE WORST FILM I EVER WATCHED- OSO- NONSENSE STORY LINE, UNNECASSARY WASTAGE OF MONEY OF BOTH VIEWER’S AND SHAH RUKH KHAN’S.FARAH PROVED AGAIN SHE IS THE BEST FLOP DIRECTOR OF THE YEAR. ONLY ONE THING I LIKED IN THE MOVIE IS THE 31 ACTORS PARTICIPATED SONG( SIMILAR ONE I SAW IN AMITABH STARRER NAZEEB)SO THERE IS NO INVENTION FROM FARAH’S SIDE.,
Technically Om Shanti Om is good, but as an entertainer, a major disappointment. The fact that it is such a terrible let down, is yet to sink in. What was Farah Khan(director) thinking? How could she make such a bad film, after directing a decent entertainer in Main Hoon Na? What was Shahrukh Khan thinking when he approved the script? How could almost everything go so wrong in a movie?
The movie has major flaws. Both the first half and the second have a lot of similarities, a few scenes actually are repeated! So if you miss the first half or you decide to walk out during the interval, dont worry, you haven’t missed much. The biggest flaw is you never feel for any of the characters, you laugh when the characters cry and vice versa. The transformation of Om Kapoor to Om Prakash in the second half, isnt handled well and is far from convincing. The transformation part is so very important in reincarnation movies, something which was handled brilliantly in Karan Arjun. The death scene, rebirth, flashbacks - needs expert direction, Farah unfortunately fails.
The script, screenplay and the direction is flawed. The dialogues are irritating. The only saving grace of the much hyped movie is the music. Main Agar Kahoon and Dard-e-Disco stand out.
