Me loving a Shah Rukh Khan movie?
The movie must have been reeally good. Yes it was 
Om Shanti Om, directed by Farah Khan, stars Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in the lead roles as the protaganists while Shreyas Talpade and Arjun Rampal feature in supporting roles. It is a typical yes-nonsense Bollywood masala movie. It is also the kind of movie that I seldom watch.
If you want to watch this movie, there are three prerequisites. First, you need a gang of noisy and enthusiastic friends who scream, sing and dance along with the movie. Second, you need to leave your left brain behind (you know, the one which thinks logically). Finally, you must not expect to learn a thing or two from the movie – thats because you won’t, there is nothing to take home.
The movie promises total fun, as it transitions swiftly from Bolywood in 70′s to Bollywood now. Kiran Kher’s deliberate melodramatic scenes and SRK+Shreyas’s retro outfits combine with some smacking satire on the movies of those times to make an interesting watch. There’s lot of talk about Shahrukh’s six pack, and he flaunts them in the only totally un-required song (making it uglier) – but then thats Bollywood.
One of the best parts of the movie was the Filmfare awards ceremony – with all the nominations and announcement of awards. The other astonishing part was the item song with several filmstars – present and past. As a MBA student who finds it difficult to schedule a meeting of 8 people at the same time, same place, I wonder how this was done.
On a side note, this movie makes the de-Sankritization of Hindi movies complete. Increasingly the movies are filled with English, or, Urdu words, that often leave me wondering with what the guy on screen just said. Ah…
Highly recommended watch. Never believed a reincarnation story could be that entertaining

I was grossed out (esp. the farting scene), which is actually saying something! But then my age and reaction must be as rational as yours’ are. Whatever, SRK will laugh his way to the bank, gaining from those who love it as much as from those who hate his movie.
↵SRK looks very old in the movie… I am his biggest fan but I think he should stop playing lead roles and do something Chak De style instead. It hurts to see him on screen like that. Otherwise the movie was very refreshing. Just in your words, ‘watch the movie and forget it’
↵Movie review by Priyank, and he recommends it to be watched. I will, thank you.
↵Padukone is Dhoni’s girlfriend..did you know that?
Rambodoc:
Farting scene?? ermm.. I don’t remember it! But then I was more busy celebrating the movie with friends and a bunch of girls screaming on the next row.
Ash:
I agree with the age thing.
Yep – its watch it and forget it kinds.
Celine:
↵Yes! I knew that, someone told me. I hope you enjoy the movie too
umm..sums up what ive heard so far, not a great fan of SRK – but just want to watch it for hype..tickets are going in black- very expensive
↵Because of my holiday I missed this movie.
but I intend to see it.
↵I never watch any SRK movie unless I get solid reviews from everyone that it is good…. not worth taking the risk otherwise, with his chocolate-boy romance
↵Saw it last night ..not bad at all..inspite of being a SRK film ..good entertainment ..if thats what you want ..yes, he looks very old
↵backpakker:
