After reading this . and seeign the rating. .i beloeve its ony based on the 1st day/week sales and nothing to do with what public feel after seeign the movie. . everyone knows. . the movis is crowd puller only for the reason "shahrukh" but once you are out of the cinema, its utter disappointment. you feel cheated by all those interviews given by shahrukh and calling it a great movie whereas i believe that shahrukh very well knew that the theme is just crap...he actually acted in real life too like he acts in this movie after his renewed avtar OK.

Arre blunders are there even in best films... Its a typical unrealistic story.... So if u wana watch a real story.. Go watch Lagaa and such kind....
The movie is awesome,,,, as usual SRK again proved that he is KiNG OF bOLLYwOOD,,, Deepika looked really gorgeous,,,,,,,,, i enjoyed a lot ,, best way to celebrate Diwali ,,,,beautiful songs instead of noisy crackers cracking around,,,, must see movie,,,,,
Friends,I have never been a fan of srk.He has bought awards when he didnt deserved it.he has criticised fine actors like amir.Said salman can only remove shirt and he has done the same thing now in oso.I liked him in chak de but same cant be said about oso.He has over acted in some scenes.But the movie has some good moments like deepika looks gorgeous,shreyas is good,arjun ramphal has done great job,couple of songs r good and to bring 31 stars together in song was pleasure to watch.But climax was a bit long even then it was directly picked up from madhumati a classic of all times.I have also seen Saawariya but sorry to say that slb went terrible wrong this time.i have liked his khamoshi,hum dil,devdas and classic one black.oso will be a hit no doubt not becos its a good movie only becos saawariya has been a weak,too long movie.
I have watched the movie and its a superhit just have a look at the review of Taran Adarsh , one of the most trusted reviewers...
Editor Review

Editor Rating 4/5
Cut the crap, cut the gyan-baazi, cut the will-it-won't-it work naatak. Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan's OM SHANTI OM is a true-blue masala entertainer. If MAIN HOON NA was a chauka, this one hits a sixer!
Wait, a word of advice to all netizens/readers across the globe. Don't, for God's sake don't, raise exclamations like kab?, kyun? kahan? as OM SHANTI OM begins to unravel. This is atypical Manmohan Desai film presented in a novel avtaar by Farah Khan. It's definitely not for pseudos or advocates of arthouse cinema.
Now let's clear some myths surrounding OM SHANTI OM. Is it the 2007 adaptation of Subhash Ghai's immensely likable reincarnation film KARZ? Does it have traces of KUDRAT? Or MADHUMATI? Or MILAN? Or KARAN ARJUN? Hold on, there's a dash of KARZ, a bit of KARAN ARJUN, a sprinkling of KUDRAT, but beyond that it's a film that makes you nostalgic about 1970s Bollywood.
To sum up, OM SHANTI OM is paisa vasool entertainment. We haven't seen SRK in a hardcore masala film since quite some time. He had drifted to other genres, which proved his range as an actor of repute and cemented his status further. With OM SHANTI OM, he gives back to the audience what he himself grew up on -- a thorough entertainer that will have the audience thirsting for more.
....OM SHANTI OM tells the story of Om [Shah Rukh Khan] and Shanti [Deepika Padukone]. Om is a junior artist in the 70s. Shanti is the reigning superstar. He is her biggest fan. He is in love with her. Om dreams of being a superstar, but an incident changes his life forever.
Om dies in a mishap, but is reborn into the present day. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise%u2026
The general feeling is, Farah Khan has remade Ghai's KARZ from Frame A to Z. False! There're similarities, but it's not a rehashed version of Ghai's film. For, OM SHANTI OM takes you by complete surprise at several points.
The first twist in the tale [Arjun - Deepika's heated confrontation, with SRK listening to this important conversation] comes as a bolt from the blue. The second jhatka comes slightly before the intermission, when Arjun takes Deepika to the set of his film 'Om Shanti Om' and the entire episode that follows, right till the intermission, is spellbinding. That's a brilliant stroke from the writing [screenplay: Mushtaq Shaikh and Farah Khan] as also the execution point of view. When the opulent set is set to flames, it leaves you wide-eyed and awe-struck. Such is the impact!
The post-interval portions only get better and better! If the initial portions are laced with humour [the premiere of 'Dreamy Girl', the Manoj Kumar episode, Ghai directing Rishi on 'Om Shanti Om' song, et al], the second half moves into a new zone completely.

.... there're no lightening, no fireworks, no zooming of the camera on the idols of Gods. The drama builds up gradually. The voices that SRK keeps hearing, the 'fire' soon after the 'Dard-E-Disco' track, the mother [Kirron Kher], an old lady now, chasing Om's car [reminds you of Raakhee of KARAN ARJUN], the flashes of SRK's earlier birth while receiving the Filmfare Award -- the incidents that make him realize that his life was cut short in his earlier janam have been well structured.
When Deepika re-emerges as well, the viewer is confused, but the mystery is resolved towards the end, which, again, takes you by complete surprise.
Given the fact that OM SHANTI OM is a Manmohan Desai kind of a film set in the present-day, it would be foolhardy to ask questions, raise eyebrows and look for logic. But the second half could've been crisper [length: 18 reels/2.46 hours], although Shirish Kunder's editing is perfect.
Farah knows what her priorities are and most importantly, knows exactly what her target audience is. The execution of a number of sequences clearly shows Farah's growth as a storyteller. Mushtaq and Farah's writing works because the writers pull out several surprises in those 2.46 hours.
V. Manikanandan's cinematography captures the gloss and grandeur to the minutest. The opulent sets [Sabu Cyril] deserve distinction marks. Dialogues [Mayur Puri] are witty and do raise a chuckle at several points. Background score [Sandeep Chowta] is effective.

......Vishal-Shekhar's music is first-rate. The score is in sync with the content of the film and what accentuate the goings-on are the choreography and execution. Although every song is visually enticing, the 21-star track as also 'Dard-E-Disco' will have the masses going into a frenzy.
Now to the performances! SRK proves his supremacy yet again. If you thought that playing to the gallery came easy to certain actors only, watch SRK spin magic in OM SHANTI OM. He's magnificent, the star attraction, the soul of this film, the true baadshah.
Deepika has all it takes to be a top star -- the personality, the looks and yes, she's supremely talented too. Standing in the same frame as SRK and getting it right is no small achievement. She comes as a whiff of fresh air!
Arjun Rampal is a complete revelation. Cast in a negative role this time, he enacts his part with panache and style. Shreyas Talpade is another surprise. A complete natural, he stands on his feet all through, not getting swayed while sharing the screen space with the topmost star.
Kirron Kher is superb as the over the top mom. Javed Sheikh is alright. Bindu adds to the funny moments.
On the whole, OM SHANTI OM is Bollywood masala in its truest form and also, at its best. At the box-office, the film will set new records in days to come and has the power to emerge one of the biggest hits of SRK's career. Blockbuster hit!
Critics are like earthworms. by Sam Walton on Nov 09, 2007 11:55 PM | Hide replies
I would like to seriously know who are these reviewers/critics who show up in such large number nowadays like earthworms wiggling out in mud during monsoons...lol Does the press have some kind of certification course for all its backbenchers (who apparently do not perform well in serious journalism) titled ,'Learn how to become a Critic without any experience or credibility in the Film Industry' My point is not just about Raja Sen, Aseem Chhabra, Arthur J Pais, Sukanya Verma ( who I hope have some credible experience as 'Film Critics') but also the host of other 'critics' on so many other Indian websites who think they can comment and review a movie with a pen in hand and a highly questionable portal giving them the space to vomit out their good and bad stuff! Other than Khalid Mohammad (TOI critic previously) and Kunal Kohli (Zee TV) none of the other names are remotely related to the industry. Even a well deserving critic like Khalid Mohammad failed miserably while making his movies - both content wise as well as Box office wise. And Kunal Kohli- what about him? He have us absolutely unrealistics like Fanaah( which was unfortunately a box office hit only due to Aamir Khan and Kajol) and Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (shameless hollywood copy and BO disaster) So please keep your over zealous pens away for a while and get your hands dirty in film making , before you rubbish or even praise the movie,
