They don’t call him King Khan for nothing...As far as mainstream cinema is concerned, SRK is unbeatable...a true entertainer...
Om Shanti Om – a bit over the top but thoroughly enjoyable ...corny humor but itz SRK so one enjoys it...and of course the great music...
He was totally convincing as the junior artiste who dreams of becoming a star in the first half and then as The Star in the second half ...
Shreyas supported him to the hilt in the act as his best friend and co junior artiste.
Kirron Kher as the melodramatic mother is also really good.
But what I liked best about the movie were the spoofs
- At the Bollywood of the 1970’s – the typical flowers coming close to each other…and the superimposing of Deepika with stars of yesteryears like Sunil Dutt, Rajesh Khanna and Jitendra in a song sequence was very good.
- Then the star in the 1st half is a direct one at Rajesh Khanna…
- The conversation between Om and Pappu (Shreyas) - He can’t be a star with a name like Om Prakash Makhija...he needs a surname of Kapoor or Khanna ...
- And the one on Rajnikant in the cowboy avatar and fighting with a fluffy tiger – too hilarious
And so many more...
All this is in good humor... he even spoofs at himself in the awards ceremony scene where they have the nominations for the best actor...
Hrithik, Abhishek, Shabana Azmi, Akki in good humor have made fun of themselves...though it is a pity that Manoj Kumar could not take it and is pretty upset...
The song where he gets some 30 odd actors and actresses to come and dance with him was quite enjoyable too... especially the bits with Dharam Paji...
Farah Khan is the queen of ‘Kahani mein twist’... not as much as in her earlier movie ‘Main Hoon Na’ where every new reel had a new twist in the tale...
Here she refrained from too many twists and tried to keep a single story line ...but in the end I guess she just could not resist and the in the climax scene we have the ghost of Shanti instead of the look alike of 30 years later...That was not really required...
But still... a movie I would recommend to all who enjoy BOLLYWOOD MASALA...not for the celebral types though !!!
