Emotional drama.

Given that Masssu Engira Masilamani released a few months before it, the big reveal of Om Shanthi Om � that Vasu is actually helping ghosts � doesn't really come as a surprise to us. And that takes away the suspense that Suryaprabaakar seems to have counted on to keep us engaged in the first half. (more)

Easy to dislike, hard to dismiss

The film�s biggest problems are the silly back stories, written for these five ghosts, and the episodic manner in which they play out on screen. One of these ghosts is a boy whose last wish is to just eat two kilos of ice cream! There�s another ghost who wants his daughter to join a medical college. Instead of using Vasu to control the malice of corruption in admissions, this ghost seems perfectly satisfied ensuring his daughter gets a medical seat� even if it�s through blackmail. (more)
