I watched the movie yesterday. It was the second hindi movie I have seen after coming to florida. The first one was "Chak De India". Both were SRK starrers and have completely different flavor.
I must admit that since I saw the movie late yesterday, I have been on youtube watching all clips related to Om Shanti Om. And nonetheless I can't stop smiling and laughing. It is a hilarious movie and believe me - if you miss this one, you are missing a bollywood heartbeat. On Diwali, every year there is a clash between two big banners and mostly people get a good movie to watch. I don't know about Saawariya, but I can vouch for Om Shanti Om.
Forget Karan Johar, forget SRK stereotyped Rahul - you get something fresh here. A different SRK. Roles which the public would love to watch.
Yes, I agree that comedy sells these days and for that matter even cheap ones have made their way into the market. But, you don't expect such things from a 34 Crore Investment. Om Shanti Om has been made meticulously keeping in mind what people want to see. And when you want to beat someone as big as SLB, you better have something to show.
Om shanti Om uses many of the old known jokes and few sequences which have been reproduced as-is from other movies. When you watch it, you would tend to feel that you have heard those jokes somewhere earlier. But the energy and enthusiasm in the movie makes it all the more enjoyable. There is a hidden flow somewhere which keeps you glued to the movie. Frankly speaking, I even did not care to put in thoughts if it was half as comparable to Karz - a classic in hindi cinema.
This movie can be classified as the first spoof in modern times (barring Ghoom launched by MTV) which has been accepted and enjoyed by the Indian mass so well. I bet you won't complain that you wasted your time watching it.
Also it sends a reply back to the media who have made fun of SRK umpteen times. SRK has proved it once again that it is not Karan Johar or Farhan Akhtar on whom his success depends. He knows exactly what he wants and spreads a strong message that "There is no replacement to hard work".
So, I would suggest you to call for a time-out from your busy schedule and go and watch this movie (anyway you can). It would relax you and it is fun. No doubt about it.
Lastly, here is one of the dialog from the movie and perhaps its the original source:I must admit that since I saw the movie late yesterday, I have been on youtube watching all clips related to Om Shanti Om.

Itni siddat se maine tumhe..... paane ki koshish ki hai,
ki har jarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki...... saazis ki hai
(the symphony starts)
kehte hain,
agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho,
to poori kayanat usse tumse milane ki koshish me lag jaati hai
aaj aap sabne mujhe meri chahat se milaya.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
main aap sabka sukra guzaar hoon ki aapne mere khwabon ko yakeen me badal diya....
itna,
itna ki I feel like the king of the world.
aur aaj... is baat ka bhi yakeen ho gaya,
ki hamari filmon ki tarah hamari jindagi me bhi ....
end me ... sab thik ho jaata hai,
haapys endings
aur agar, aur agar thik na ho
to woh The End nahin hai doston....
picture abhi baaki hai

This phrase by Paulo Coelho kept on revolving in my mind the whole time i was watching the movie...
saala tumhare jaise logo ke liye hi vo movie bani hai...
:P
[prits] We need some morale boost sometimes. :) Can't watch art always and ponder in the dark.
And come on, everybody loves spoofs - atleast these guys made an attempt to bring it into mainstream cinema rather than getting obscured as Bollywood Calling (by Nagesh Kukunoor). No doubt it was a good movie, but to make people think that they could accept it, you need a bigger name. And when I say people - I mean the entire mass, not just urban chauvinists.
[saurabh] even me!
Totally agreed.
