Review of Om Shanti Om (2007) by Istiaq H — 12 Feb 2008
Who said "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn". NO! Not SRK but Clark Gable in the closing lines of GOne with the Wind. Copycat bollywood. But I must say, funny and idiotically entertaing.
I actually enjoyed the dumb first half, which was in ways a reminder of the old 70s bollywood. Got quite pathetic after that. Could have made a better thriller out of it. But greatly enjoyed the all star cast show off at the award celebration which you never see in films at all.
Agree when sum1 said Om Shanti Om's loving tribute and hilariously wicked satire of 70s and contemporary Bollywood film is a real treat. Has all the makings of an entertaining blockbuster but not a classic!
