Om Shanti Om [DVD] [2007] [Region 1] [NTSC]

I've already seen this movie on DVD, and it's great. But on Bluray. WOW, absolutely mindblowing.These vibrant colors and the cristal sharp picture quality.This is really a Bollywood experience.I wasn't sure when I bought this Disc that an Bollywood Blu-Ray Disc could really achieve Blu-Ray quality. Especially when the DVD's often have picture quality problems. But it really does.I can only recommend to buy this movie on Blu-Ray.Cause the movie itself is also really great. A real Bollywood-Blockbuster with an interesting and new story and Shahrukh as always at it's best. Ok, the 8-pack on Dard-E-Disco is maybe a bit to much, but hey, the guy is over 40 so it's impressing how hard he must have trained to gain them.The movie is fun, romantic, emotional, powerful and a great watch.I'm from germany, but I really prefer the english Blu-Ray than the german DVD release. The DVD has good quality but it really can't compare. This movie is simply too good to miss this exprerience.

I love Bollywood - like a lot of u out there I’m white Brit but I’m hooked ! Love SRK - this is classic SRK . Good plot good production good songs and bonus cameos from the other two “Khans” - fans will know who I mean - and the triffik trio of Kajol Rani and Preity in a big song and dance kinda party thing , but the heroine in this film , Deepika , made 10 years ago , her debut , has gone on to big things also - a rollicking good movie with more twists than a curly wurly . 9.999dot out of 10 .

Again very long film but you know this beforehand right?! Beautiful pieces of music and dancing, like these films for traditional purposes. The more modern ones tends to be going towards Hollywood feel rather than keeping to their roots, but I guess that is just preference. Saying that, I did enjoy Race because i like the actors in them and i saw the first one on my visit to Mumbai.

This s another great movie. Creative story, funny, playful, good dance, and the actors are so wonderful. I was bored to watch the Hollywood movies, people killing each other and bringing the worst of human being. Here you find the best of being human but with a nice drama and comedy: love, friendship, joy, laughter and dance. This is the 3rd Bollywood movie I watch and it really gives a night of entertainment, a nice feeling and that is what cinema is for me. Love it love it loved it!

Good Entertainment.I first caught a glimmer of this movie on British Network TV last year and was truly exited by the joviality and energy this unexpected arrival had brought to our living room. I had to get the Blue ray DVD.On Christmas eve, my family of five viewed this film(in two parts) and its certainly contributed to the seasonal atmosphere that evening.My young kids, love the musical set pieces and it was great to see Bollywood stars from past & present contributing to a lengthy dance/music scene (Deewangi Deewangi), mid-way through the second half of the movie.The dialogue was none too clever, but I got the feeling Shahrukh Khan played his part with some "tongue in cheek" with a view that the movie itself was a subtle parody of the naivety and surreal romanticism of popular Hindi movies of the past.The sound quality and colours are truly stunning in Blue-ray but I'm sure 2 hours(instead of 3 hours) would have sufficed.Go on , enjoy it.Bauhaus

Fun film to watch.

My naïveté that our machine won’t read this dvd. Wish the advert had made the region clear. It’s now in the charity bag. Ordering was easy and delivery speedy.

I would recommend this movie to everybody. There is drama, intrigue, romance, everything you want from a top notch Hindi blockbuster. The last song, i believe, is at a "Phantom Of The Opera" caliber.Great stuff.

Je n'ai pas reçu le premier envoi prévu en livraison le 22/06. Le DVD est arrivé le 05/07/23 car le vendeur a immédiatement réexpédié un nouvel article. Merci pour son sérieux qui m'a permis de voir ce film pas récent mais bien divertissant !

👍👍👍👍

Shipment from seller was fast. We really enjoyed this movie, the acting and singing superb and the plot line was also interesting.

I loved this movie (even though most of the in-joke references to earlier Bollywood filmstars went over my head) because there was still more than enough fun to be had in this 2 hour and 42 minute film. Bollywood definitely gives you your moneys worth and more. It manages to give us a story filled with love, laughter, karmic revenge, and some really wonderful, eye-popping song and dance numbers with tunes so catchy that I'll probably be singing them for the next two weeks. This review is full of major spoliers although the film's ending isn't revealed.Shah Rukh Khan stars a love struck bit player with the unfortunate name of Om Prakash Makhija in the Bollywood of the 1970s who's desperately in love with gorgeous megastar Shanti(Deepika Padukone) and he frequently converses with a giant billboard of her, completely oblivious to the stares of passers-by. One day Om and his brother have the good fortune to be cast as extras in a film in which Shanti is starring and it seems as if fate has brought them together. For quite awhile it does seem as if Shanti will fall for the charming Om, especially after he resecues her from an on-set fire. But alas, Om over hears Shanti telling her director Muhkesh Mehra(with whom she is secretly in love) a terrible secret that will make their love impossible. When faced with leaving his wife and marrying her as he has promised, the director (played by Arjun Rampal)does what most men would do--traps her in one of the extravagant sets in which they are filming and lights it ablaze. This time there's no escape from the fire for Shanti, or for Om who dies attempting to rescue her again.We go immediately from a sheet being pulled over Om's body in the hospital to the new and improved reincarnated Om 30 years old and still played by SRK. He's the person our deceased Om had always dreamed of being, a famous actor with a great name-- Om Kapoor! His life comes complete with round bed, velvet slippers, and servents at his beck and call. When we first meet him he's waking up in the middle of the afternoon to go to work at the film studio--surrounded by screaming fans (who can't help observing "He's so much shorter in real life"), fawning studio executives, and a frantic director who's trying to film a really weird scirpt. That scene leads into the film's BEST dance number to a song called "Dard-e-Disco" which I've since learned is a parody of a number by Hrithik Roshan, one of Bollywood's number one studs. Roshan and his father also have a cameo as themselves in this flick. I doubt that he knew he would be parodied at the time. I had no idea he was a paroding anyone in particular but by the time SRK got to to the part where he was shirtless and dancing provocatively while wearing a hardhat and a toolbelt with a rope slung over one shoulder and singing "My heart is filled with the pain of disco," I was laughing in spite of the fact that SRK looked really hot. You can always count on Bollywood for a little comedy. But it's during the "Pain of Disco" number that Om Kapoor first begins to remember his past life as Om Makhija. Later at the Filmfare Awards (which feature hilarious send-ups of other stars' images) Om's memory clears even more, and when he spots the director who had killed both 30 years ago Om remembers everything and begins to plan his revenge. GUARANTEED END OF SPOILERS. OM SHANTI OM is a throwback to the films of the 1970s for its entire first half, which is to say it shows both the worst of the decade's fashion trends and the best of Bollywood's over indulgent opulence. The sets and costumes are magnificent beyond imagining and damn near knocked my eyes out. There are 7 or 8 musical numbers in this film, with the standouts for me being the "Pain of Disco", and "Deewangi Deewangi" with the lyrics "All the cool boys come and make some noise, sing Om Shanti Om". It's also a good practice for seeing how many Bollywood stars you can name since it's sung at Om's party as an entrance number for all the guests (who are playing themselves) as they arrive. I'm not very good but I was able to identify 6, maybe 7. Still it's an exuberant, catchy tune that will drive you out of your mind. If you've never seen a Bollywood film this might be a good place to start even if its most subtle parts will be lost on you as they were on me. Be sure to watch the end credits where almost everyone connected with the film gets to dance down the red carpet.

I really like this movie. I've probably seen it a dozen times already and it never fails to make me laugh and cry at the same time. It's a movie that you shouldn't miss!
