What is the story of Omm Shanti Omm?!


Question: I will tell you briefly.
Shahrukh is Om in his past life, he dies in the hands of villain's men(by the way deepika is Shanti, she is killed by villain), then Shahrukh is reborn as Om again, then he takes revenge on the Villain.So Om Shanti Om. I think the name should be 'Om marke bhi Om'.

But I am Shahrukh Fan, It is a big hit film don't worry.

Farah Khan's narrative careens cornily between maudlinism and satire. It sometimes spoofs , sometimes tilts its hat to the films that came in the era of great aura and élan, the two qualities sorely lacking in this work of confounding kitsch.

There are some terrific moments of satire in the plot. The opening scene of the junior artiste-hero(ah, the contradictions that irrigate the plot-trot of our movies!) cheering Rishi Kapoor as he jives on stage to the Om shantiom track in Subhash Ghai's Karz is a masterly piece of homage to a way of cinema that's gone-bye-bye.

Soon, however, Farah forgets the satirical sur of her narration which keeps swinging from homage to imitation with infuriating artifice .

Often the devices that are used to generate nostalgic amusement in the first-half are deployed after interval in dead earnestness.

A song sequence in the first-half has the junior artiste and his object of adoration riding a stationary car in a studio with back-projection simulating movement. In the second-half the same device is used without any spoofy intention when the second Shah Rukh(a spoilt bratty specimen of vivacious vanity) rides in the wilderness on the arch-villain Arjun Rampal's limousine.

Punar-janam(after life) which would be considered fodder for 1970s' style of suspend-your-disbelief cinema in the past here becomes a matter of immense thematic propulsion. The climax , with a bland and bare-paced song droning on with smirky sinisterness, is an insult to all enthusiasts of traditional commercial cinema.

Bimal Roy's Madhumati finds its nemesis in the hands of these fun-seekers.

Caught between the mawkish and the mockery , the film's creator thinks smart-aleck one-liners are enough to sustain a three-hour feature film, Om Shanti Om barely survives its own arrogant self-regard, thanks to some genuinely entertaining moments provided by Shah Rukh Khan.

His take-off on a South Indian masala matinee-idol in the scorching sun of a humid studio premise is first-rate. So is his expressions of not-so-furtive adoration for the rather pale heroine. But weren't the same expressions used by Ms Khan for King Khan in her first directorial stab Main Hoon Na?

Om Shanti Om is like a cracker that fizzles before the promised sizzle occurs. The studio atmosphere where the junior-artiste and his buddy(Shreyas Talpade) hang out with self-conscious nonchalance would have made Guru Dutt smile.

He would finally know why he made Kaagaz Ke Phool so ahead of its time.

Only a phool would dare to go where angels fear to tread.
