Rediff Review of Om Shanti Om reads: Bollywood is bizarre and campy and over-the-top and unprofessional and snide and egotistical and sporadic and dynastic and facetious and utterly self-smitten, but -- without even going into the numerous positives -- that's just why we love it. Farah, thanks. As someone who has to sit through a million movies, mostly suspect, week after week -- and to someone who has to toil through it and bear the tabloid attention -- this is a reminder of what we like about Bollywood, what makes it so special. ------
You cannot expect a honest review for a regional movie from something which supports a bollywood film.
They celebrate a crappiest thing called Om Shanti Om, give it a 3 rating and dare to write off a Shahrukh Khan film. Thats the way they do it.
I wonder why Vijay and Ajith fans fight it out here?! Both are talented actors (choose only bad films to act) and very rarely they come up with a good film. When all their talents put into efforts they will come up with blockbusters and imagine what kinda films we will happen to see if either of these actor get a chance to work in a film by a Cheran or Bala or Selvaraghavan or Ameer or Balaji Sakthivel? They will never do it. We can expect only masala films from Vijay and Ajith and it was our fate that we cannot see them in a lifetime role which Rajnikanth also missed in his career doing films only for fans and never got a chance to portray his histrionics.
