While the first half of the film is engrossing and entertaining, things start getting on the nerves just a few minutes pre-interval. Alas! The film has its own set of innumerable flaws. The story sounds extremely engaging, and with names like Farah and Shah Rukh Khan associated with the film, the bundle of joy just escalates. The rest of the story revolves around taking Om to his ultimate goal. He thrives to get the confession out of Mukesh Mehra, now a Hollywood producer. Time for some action, Om plans a conspiracy with Sandy (Shanti’s replica in the 21st century), his mother and Pappu to avenge the death of his sugary candy Shanti Priya. He is disturbed by the memories of his previous birth and attempts to solve the mystery of his past. Om Prakash is back, in a new avtar, as a star kid - Om Kapoor.
The 1970s story comes to a full stop when Om gets killed in a fight with Mehra’s men.Īs the tagline goes by, ‘For some dreams, one lifetime is not enough’.
The reason for this ruthless act of Mukesh act was Shanti’s unwanted pregnancy, that had hurt his conscience. Life comes to a standstill, when Om witnesses the murder of Shanti Priya at the hands of Mukesh. Likewise, Om’s dreams get shattered when he comes to know that Shanti is secretly married to film producer Mukesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal). Om gets introduced to Shanti during a fire accident, which revokes happiness in the heart of Om. Like most masala flicks, apna hero has a sugary eye for popular actress Shanti Priya (Deepika Padukone). Om aspires to strike gold in the Hindi Film industry with his acting stint. Living under the faith of mother (Kirron Kher) and friend Pappu (Shreyas Talpade), is a junior artist Om Prakash Makhija. The plot bears resemblance to Subhash Ghai’s musical hit Karz. The story of Om Shanti Om, as the world knows is based on the reincarnation theme. Nevertheless, the entangling storyline of Om Shanti Om is a remix of contemporary Bollywood setting and an eye capturing scenario from the 70s. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika are the lone winners in the film, with the fair amount of ham and subjective beauty minus acting. If you are awaiting an out and out entertainer then Om Shanti Om is going to disappoint your perception. Touted to be the biggest release of Shah Rukh Khan ever, Om Shanti Om is a pocketful of funny moments and equally intense glitches.
