Paisa Vasool stuff
The first half of the film is funky, funny and makes an art of kitsch. Deepika is classy, but the film is essentially Shah Rukh's who manages to add life to the tardy second half too. Overall, loads of naach-gaana (nice music tracks by Vishal Shekhar) and brainless mazaa.(more)

Om Sweet Om
Om Shanti Om is an exultant, heady, joyous film reveling in Bollywood, and as at most parties where the bubbly flows free, there is much silly giggling and tremendous immaturity. More cameos are written in than dialogues, so sit back and play spot-the-celeb. Or watch the Khan have a blast on screen. (more)

This Diwali's big dhamaka
Om Shanti Om, a film that brings the fun back into the movies. A swell song-and-dance drama that's sensationally senseless, go watch it and prepare to come back beaming. (more)

Time Machine! Gets you past 150 minutes in no time!
The movie is a hell of a party, a bits-and-pieces blockbuster strung together with a series of laughs, songs and dances. SRK shows us why he's the rock star of our times. Deepika arrives in style to stay. Farah shows Bhansali what a musical really needs apart from great music: energy, style, soul, drama and the laughs surely help. (more)
