Om Shanti Om

Atlast I just had time to watch two great movies. One of them is the Diwali Block buster - Om Shanti Om and the other is Khoya Khoya Chand. Let me review OSO first. The first half of the movie is very similar to "Scary movie", teasing each and every actor you know. Here you get the intro of "Om" and the beautiful, demure "Shanti Priya." The director scripts herself from the very first scene. The title song itself is very cognitive and portrays the reality in the film shooting. Shanti is the "dream Girl" for Shah Rukh (Om Prakash) and the rest of the world too. Om is just a junior artist who dreams frequently about a star-studded life. He expresses all of his feelings to the portrait of Shanti Priya near his house. The first half mainly has scenes mocking the heroes of late 70's. You will definitely enjoy it scene-by-scene (there will not be even a single bit of caricature or any hurting content for any of the fans). Om impresses Shanti when he saves her from the fire during a cinema shoot. She constantly meets him and considers him as the best friend. There is a twist in the tale when Om learns that Shanti has got married to the producer (Mike) and she's pregnant. Mike lures her into his trap and sets her ablaze along with the "sets" of OSO. Om Prakash who tries to save her also succumbed to the injuries. At the same time Rajesh Kapoor's wife gives birth to Om kapoor.
As Ok (Om Kapur) grows up, he becomes a super-star but he also has a strange fear of fire. His senses leads him to a different world, when he visits the places lived by Om Prakash. He later realises that he is the re-birth of Om Prakash. He slowly regains the memories about the traitor Mike and wishes to take revenge. How he takes revenge? Will he get back "Shanti"? Will Mike get his deal of Punishment? All these questions are answered in the climax (with the help of the ghost though).
Shah Rukh Khan has done a fantastic job. Once again he proves that he's the "king of world Cinema." He shows great variation in his gestures and acting styles of Om Prakash and Om Kapoor. Deepika Padukone, vow she is marvellous, awesome, etc, etc. You won't believe that she is a first timer. This is really a "dream" debut for her and she has grabbed her chance with both the hands. Others like Arjun Rampal (Mike) and Om's mother and friend also did their part well. Choreography is different and the song " Om Shanti Om" is really cool. The costumers did a brilliant job. They showed great variations as the story revolves around the heroes of two different centuries. The costumes of the 70's are really original and OK's costume's entirely different. So all you have to do is forget about the logic and all those things related to it. If you are going to watch it only for entertainment purpose (with some story in it), then its really ultimate. My rating is 4.5 on a scale of 5
