Without a question, ″Om Shanti Om″ is the perfect movie for the perfect time. It is what most of audience need to watch and enjoy lately. Farah khan as a director of this movie did a great job in there, she realized the equation of a successful movie that contains two important parts, entertainment and meaning, and of course shahrukh khan as a leader actor in the movie helped a lot to make it real.
″Om Shanti Om″ is a story of a young fresh actor called ″Om″ (Shahrukh Khan) who always dreamed of becoming a superstar in his career and play the hero roles in bollywood movies, he was a good looking, down to earth, very romantic and dreamy man. ″Shanti″ (Deepika Padukone) was a superstar actress, a beautiful, ambitious nice person who never met Om on her life. The story began in 70’s, Om and Shanti were both young, they had a lot of dreams to fulfill and both were in love. Om loved Shanti without really knowing her or meeting her, he was crazy about her, and she was crazy about someone else called ″Mukesh″ (Arjun Rampal).they were secretly married, and he was the one who burned her to death and accidentally took Om’ s life. The end? No ″Om Prakash Makhija″ reborned in someone else body and become the superstar of his age ″Om kapoor″, the famous celebrity that once ″Om Prakash Makhija″ dreamed of. Om kapoor is a selfish spoiled boy, who takes life easy, and gets things too easy even in his career; he has a fear of fire and he also has some hidden memories about his past life in his head. He couldn’t remember everything, but once he sees ″Mukesh″ he know who was he, and decide to revenge with the help of the two precious people to ″Om Prakash Makhija″, his mother (kiron kher), and his best friend (Shreyas Talpade).
It is also a movie inside a movie that has the same name ″Om Shanti Om″, ″Shanti″ was the heroine of that movie, and after she disappeared and the set burned; producers stop their work on that film. Now ″Om kapoor″ is willing to remake it with the help of ″Mukesh″, and he is doing this only to revenge and make him admit what he done to ″Shanti″.
Farah khan did the best she can to give the audience the perfect movie, Vishal and Shekhar made a fantastic music, the picture was good, the sets and the decoration. Shahrukh khan looked sexy and young in the whole movie, especially in 'Dard-E-Disco' a track that I must stop by and say ‘wow’, it is a hit, a combination of great lyrics, great music and great performance of Shahrukh khan on the set. It s really different and anyone will enjoy listening and watching it. There were four sets for that song, fire set, air, earth and water. Besides this track the movie contains six other tracks.' Ajab si', 'Dhoom Taana', 'Main Agar Kahoon', 'Jag Soona Soona Lage', 'Deewangi Deewangi' in which too many bollywood superstars sing and dance with Sharukh khan, Farah khan did bring many bollywood celebrities to do the special appearances in her movie and this is something special about that film. 'Dastaan-E-Om Shanti Om' is the last track to list, and it is what I like to call “the telling story song†which tells the story of ″Om″, ″Shanti″ and her husband ″Mukesh″.
This movie a balance between form and meaning, in other words, it is not just entertainment, dance, track, sound and light. It is also a movie that has a meaning, and that teach us so many things like dreams can be true. If I might say, this movie inspired me a lot it did give me a push I needed all the time to know what I want and go for it. The love story in that movie is full of romance, ambition, dreams and also betrayal, death and failure.″Om″ wanted love in his life and career, ″Shanti″ wanted the love. He lost the love of his life and somehow managed to realize his dream of becoming a superstar, and she lost her life and betrayed by the one she loved. He gets a second chance to be what he dreamed of and revenge for his lover, and she gets a second chance to see him and revenge for herself.
″Om Shanti Om″ is a movie that tells a story of so many years, from the 70’s to nowadays, and Farah khan has been so clever and creative to handle a job that inquires hard work and creativity. She managed to show us two periods of time, and make us live the story from the beginning to the end. As a closure to what I have said, ″Om Shanti Om″ is team work, From the director who worked so hard, to the leader actor Shahrukh khan ,and so many professionals in the music, light, decorating to the smallest business in that movie to make it great and big.
