Awful! Too late for me, but save ur selves!!

A Customer from Tredegar, 10th November, 2007

Such a HUGE disappointment! Made no sense at all, wish i'ld watched saawaryia instead. Total rip off of about a million movies, mostly phantom of the opera. Really thought this movie was a mick take, seemed like something mtv run during the vma's when they get actors to take the mick out of their own movies in sketches. Wasted 3 hours, don't do it!!!

LOVED IT!

A Customer from Reading, 11th December, 2007

This is a big movie, well and truly in love with itself. And if you aren't into that sort of thing, if you pooh-pooh Koffee With Karan, and if you'd really rather watch a movie you have to think about, skip this. This is atypical Manmohan Desai film presented in a novel avtaar by Farah Khan. It's definitely not for pseudos or advocates of arthouse cinema. For the SRK-hater, the warning is doubly applicable. This is a celebration of the ultimate in self-achievement, Shah Rukh toasting his own indomitable Khan-do spirit. For the rest of us, this movie is great fun. No gag is too obvious, no plotpoint too ludicrous and no cliche too overused -- in fact, the more overused the better. To sum up, Om Shanti Om is paisa vasool entertainment. A thorough entertainer that will have the audience thirsting for more. P.s Deepika Padukone is stunning!

A Customer from Buckinghamshire, 14th November, 2007

Went to see it at the weekend. Acting was so-so. Storyline was nothing original. But for sheer entertainment value - WOW!!! The whole family loved it! Go see it now !!!

A romp through 30 years of Bollywood

A Customer from Secret Garden,London, 24th July, 2010

An engergetic and entertaining film that exposes and yet refreshes Bollywood and Hollywood cliches. Nearly every scene has something taken from another story, genre,or production - and it's great fun spotting them. It drags a little in places, but has hidden depths, and overall is well worth watching. Who needs a believable storyline anyway?

Brilliant and funny!

misslike from , 6th July, 2010

The first Bollywood film I've ever watched, I really really enjoyed it. I suspect I'd have got more of the in-jokes if I was a big fan, but I found enough to enjoy in the story and the music to make it a definite hit for me. In fact, I'm looking up more Bollywood movies to rent right now!

Rubbish

manjit from Northampton, 30th January, 2010

I think that its to focused on a female, well if i wanted to focus on just a female I will more than likely to get a different film all together if you know what I mean. Really boring, oh wow its a nice looking lady, and then what I got half way and watched another bollywood movie, thank goodness theres only a handfull of rubbish in the bollywood industry, cus I really enjoyed the next film.
