OM SHANTI OM – SHAHRUKH’S BEST FILM SINCE VEER ZAARA AND SWADES. 2004 WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR SHAHRUKH AS HIS FILMS CONTAINED SOLID NARRITIVE STRUCTURE AND WERE GENERALLY ADDICTIVE. SO I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT 2007 WAS SUCCESSFUL WITH OM SHANTI OM AND CHAK DE INDIA (THE FILM SHAHRUKH FILMED IN AUSTRALIA), ESPECIALLY OM SHANTI OM. IT HAS A REINCARNATION THEME ATTACHED TO IT - THE 1970S ERA AND THE PRESENT ERA. WITH STARS FROM ACROSS THE ERAS GUEST STARRING IN THE BAS DEEWANAGI HAI SONG, YOU'LL BE PLAYING 'SPOT THE STAR' THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SONG. I HAD HOPED 90'S STARS RAVEENA TANDON (GREAT CHEMISTRY IN 1995’S ZAMAANA DEWAANA), MAMTA KULKARNI, AND POOJA BHATT WOULD STRUT THEIR STUFF IN THE SONG BUT FANS GOT TO MISS OUT ON THEIR PRESENSE.
BEST SONGS TO LOOK OUT FOR IN OSM (OM SHANTI OM) IS DASTAAN E OM SHANTI OM AND DARD-E-DISCO. DASTAAN E OM SHANTI OM HAS A CLASSICAL AND ORCHESTRA THEME TO IT AND IS SIMILAR TO THE HAMLET SCENE IN WHICH OM KAPOOR IS GETTING THE MURDER SCENE PLAYED OUT IN THE SONG (JUST LIKE HAMLET DID WHEN GETTING ACTORS TO ACT OUT HIS FATHER'S MURDER SCENE IN THE PLAY TO WHICH HIS UNCLE FREAKS OUT). YOUTUBE THE SONG AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE SUPERBLY CHOREOGRAHED VIDEO –IT IS BREATHTAKING.
SHAHRUKH PLAYS HIS ROLE PERFECTLY, AS DOES KIRAN KHER AND ARJUN RAMPUL. ARJUN HAS COME A LONG WAY– HIS ACTING HAS STRENGTHENED IN OSO AND PLAYS HIS ROLE CONVINCINGLY. NEWCOMER DEEPIKA ADDS THE ICING TO THE CAKE AND THE ACTOR PLAYING PAPPU APPEARS TO HAVE A PROMISING ACTING CAREER IN FRONT OF HIM.
OUT OF A SCORE OF 10, I GIVE OSM A 9. WATCH OSM FOR THE STORY, WATCH OSM FOR THE SONGS, WATCH OSM FOR SRK’S ABS, AND FINALLY- WATCH OSO TO ADD THAT MUCH NEEDED MASALA INTO YOUR DAY.
