OSO REVIEW: Khan is king!
What the film is about
A kitschy present-day, Farah Khan take-off on the ultra-popular '70s Bollywood potboiler that, in her own words is a tribute to filmmaking. Om (Shah Rukh Khan) is a struggling junior artiste who is a regular on the sets of RC Studios. The son of junior artistes themselves, he aspires to become a big star any day and his dreams are bolstered by his filmy best friend Pappu (Shreyas Talpade) and his even more OTT filmy mother (Kirron Kher). He is also madly in love with Bollywood's heartthrob, the 'Dreamy Girl' ShantiPriya (introducing Deepika Padukone!). Alas, she is someone else's and he doesn't get a chance to tell her about his love as his life comes to an untimely halt.
But this is a Hindi movie and you have to leave your brains out, or so the filmmaker is telling you. So, Om takes re-birth (in the film industry itself) as a former superstar's superstar son. And God (or the filmmaker) gives him a second chance to make the wrongs of his past life, right. And now, if we tell you anymore about the film, it will be too obvious! (It is, after all, a full filmy flick!).
What we liked about the film
Almost everything (Yes, we admit, we've sold our souls to SRK)! Which is 98.35 per cent of the film! The film is more a take off on the re-birth formula, made famous by Karz in the '70s than a tribute; but it does brilliantly. Farah Khan has made everyone act superbly (yes, including Arjun Rampal!). There are so many things to watch out for so we will just list a few highlights:
The cameos by almost the entire industry (Sush, where were you?!?) The fantastic one-liners from '70s Bollywood; the digital effects ala Forrest Gump. Deepika Padukone. Deepuka Padukone. Deepika Padukone. SRK playing a brash star brat. SRK's abs (of course!). The witty vision of the filmmaker.
And finally Farah Khan and SRK's and the entire film industry's sassiness to do a take off on the take off, because, when you look at it, the film is not just a take off on '70s Bollywood but also on today's filmy frenzy!

Hihihi
I need pictures of shanti when she's about to die...When
mahendra takes her to the set and is telling her about the
big party there going to have before he kills her.
Pure entertainment
Srk era is now come to an end. All because of this lobby who
always shout every hour that srk is no 1 - srk is no more
no1
karan,farah , taran,raja--- all these haveno work just
shouting from thetp to say that srk is no1
srk era is finished
Taare zam. Pe 3/5.. And oso 4/5 on what basis.. Oso is just
a hyped film with no content.. Tzp is just a treat and lots
of content in it. Rare movies in indian cinema. Lol on th
reviewer.
I guess the review is from mr. Anil sadarangani. Well, i
don't know him personally or through the media but his
taste for movies is zero which i can say. For a film like
oso 4 stars out of 5 and for tzp 3 stars out of 5!!!!!
well, i am not an aamir fan. But defenitely is a movie
buff. People like mr. Sadarangani would take down the
standard of our movies to the rock bottom by such reviews.
he says some of the songs in tzp could have been cut
off!!!! The circumstances of the songs and the songs itself
are much more appropriate than in any other movie i have
seen.
secondly, he says the competition at the end does not
justify the message of the movie. Well, he is wrong. The msg
of the movie is every child has a special talent and we
should try to find and encourage that.
Sharukh is 2nd king of filam industries ,i want see king
movie om shanti om
Srk era has come to an end - he no more rules
you can see if any of his films click even oso was
average
bad acting in all sense
