Om Prakash Makhija (Shah Rukh Khan) is a junior artist in the 1970s film industry. He and his friend Pappu (Shreyas Talpade) are trying to become big heroes in the film industry. Om's mother, Bela Makhija (Kirron Kher), inspires and encourages her son to become a hero. Om's love interest is the country's heart throb and the star of the film, Dream Girl, Shantipriya (Deepika Padukone). However, Om gets to meet Shanti on several occasions: first at the premiere of Dream Girl where he sneaks in after claiming he is the actor Manoj Kumar. Finally at a film set, in which he saves her life after the set catches fire. From then on, Om and Shanti become good friends. Om sees Shanti again only this time he overhears her arguing with top producer Mukesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal). To Om's shock, Shanti is revealed to be married to Mukesh and is also pregnant. Mukesh is adamant that their relationship is kept a secret. Mukesh also tells Shanti that he cannot officially accept this because a rich businessman is financing his upcoming film Om Shanti Om for which he requires 40 lakhs rupees. The truth is he is getting married to the daughter of the businessman. Angry and hurt, Shanti demands justice and more importantly love from Mukesh. Om heartbroken begins to avoid Shanti. One night, Om sees Shanti being escorted to the set of Om Shanti Om by Mukesh. Much to Shanti's pleasure, Mukesh reveals he is going to cancel the film and he is going to reveal his marriage with her to the public. He also tells Shanti that he will destroy the set after they have the marriage ceremony in it. However Mukesh angered by Shanti's demands holds her responsible for his financial loss and sets fire to the set of the film with Shanti trapped inside. Om sees Mukesh drive away without Shanti and to his horror sees Shanti trapped inside screaming for help. He tries to reach her but Mukesh's guards beat him and stop him from getting to her. Soon after the set explodes killing Shanti. Om who runs for help is hit by a car owned by Rajesh Kapoor (Javed Sheikh), a well known actor who is rushing his pregnant wife (Asawari Joshi) to a hospital. Rakesh takes him to the hospital, but Om dies on the operating table. 30 years after the incident, Om is reincarnated as Om Kapoor, son of Rajesh Kapoor, who was born right after Om Makhija died. However on Om's first assignment on working on a film called Om Shanti Om he begins to remember bits of his past life. Will Om be successful in recollecting his past and take revenge on his enemy or will he begin a new life |

Campy Parody of Karz |
Sotaria |
|
Farah Khan is the master of over the top campy parody. Her she essentially remakes Karz with her usual humor and style. What is perhaps best is how Khan can fluctuate between the absurd and ultra dramatic romance without making it too over the top ... or did she? Obviously some reviewers disagree, but if you enjoy campy humor and great music, Om Shanti Om is a winner. |

SRK is a great star (not necessarily a great actor) and the movie is a showcase for him. No need to think, just enjoy the ride. To love this movie, you must enjoy the music. |
