Totally over the top and completely bizarre is Farah's new found signature style and with the success of Om Shanti Om I am guessing it's for keeps. The movie is totally bling with its giddy music and psychedelic colours. It was a complete treat to the senses. After a seismic speculation I've decided not to get in to the glaring loop holes in the plot or reviewing the complete lack of story line. But I must say, I loved the movie. So what is the plot? You're clearly reading the blog this is just film appreciation.
The film was a celebration of the 70's as Bollywood painted it, a world of flashy make up, elaborate hairdos. The film has glorified all Bollywood stereotypes - the ma, the sindhur and the dialogues are cheesy, but really funny. The lines were oozing with melodrama and kiran kher has done full justice to it with all the necessary overacting. I would have never known you can keep the audience enthralled for three hours without a story!
Looking all dolled up was the debutant Deepika Padukone. She was a decent actress and good dancer although I must admit she didn't have a crucial role, she made her presence felt with those perfectly timed and dimpled smiles. It's a movie reveling in everything typical to the tinsel town – the red carpet stroll, award ceremonies, gossip and bitching.
What's worth a mention here is the filmfare awards ceremony, my personal favourite sequence. 'we are just good friends' haven't we heard that a zillion times before but Farah's movie has a different take on it. SRK, Akshay and Abhishek starring in films like Dhoom 5, Return of the Khiladi and Phir Bhi NRI are competing to clinch the best actor title, this one is a laugh riot. One can find the clip below.
After the super fun first half the second half was a tad stretchy. After all we are on real time again, but the song and dance sequence salvaged it. Ok, what Farha is really known for is here creds and for that let the drums beat and red carpets roll out, and let the real heroes take the stage. It's worthy of another post.
All said, it's a fun colorful film, and that too coming from a person who is not an SRK fan. I am sure that says a lot.

The best part of the movie is the fact that Farah can make fun of others as well as herself! Proper entertainer. I have watched it 5 times already!
I didn't like the movie...in short total bundle movie...
Like the Deepika, she is cute and can act as well
dint like the movie at all!
total masala crap. but that one cant expect anything else from FK right?
whether one likes the movie or not would depend on their expectations. sure, it was loud and funny. and genuinely smart funny, not the partner or kya kool hain hum type cheap double-entendre slapstick that seems to be mass produced and mass appreciated these days.
but if u spent 300 rupess on a ticket, and expected to see a real story, brilliant acting, or to be left with even a little something to think about, u'd be greatly disappointed. i was
