Om Shahrukh Om

This is what the movie should be called. From the first frame to last its Mr. Shahrukh all the way. The pointless movie is also interspersed with some cleavage of Deepika for keeping the audience awake (Om cleavage Om). The audience is anyways awake, you tend to get a headache after 17 minutes of watching the movie.

There are dialogues, yes, which are repeated at least 17 times, once by Om, then by reincarnated Om, then in the background, then by his mom which are repeated by Deepika, then by..... There is a dialogue from Gone with the wind, which Shahrukh (Rhett Butler) tells Arjun Rampal (Scarlett O'hara, ahem) — Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

Kirron Kher is loud and Shreyas Talpade is not Shahrukh, so he gets liitle screen time. Its quite unconvincing, the way reincarnated Shahrukh dumps his current family and goes back to his bhoodhi ma and faithful aged sidekick.

There are songs, endless, pointless and an item number by guess who... Shahrukh!!!
There are many stars singing Om Shanti Om, for some strange reason, as no mention of Shanti arises in the reincarnated Shahrukh's life at that point of time.

The movie is a delight for pyromaniacs. There are a lot of fires, which fail to burn Shahrukh, who is defibrillated for burns. And his soul goes into the soul of an already conceived child... who looks exactly like... Shahrukh! The reincarnated Shahrukh is very different from the previous one. He has six-pack abs and keeps saying "What the fish" after every 5 minutes. And the Deepika lookalike (who is played by Deepika) is also very different. She chews a lot of gum and along with displaying cleavage also displays her legs.
There is a Deepika bhooth (who is played by Deepika) at the end of the movie who kills Arjun Rampal. You are delighted. The end.

To summarize the whole movie is a promotional gimmick— to promote itself!

I have watched Karz, 3 times. It will be the best reincarnation movie, if there is such a category of movies.

After reading this over, I feel the review is more horrible than the movie itself. I promise to improve. My IQ has fallen after three hours for S*** bombarded into my brain.

I guess first half was okay types and true movie buffs wud recognize the humor in the lines which have been used over generations of bollywood flicks or flops.

The thing is I shouldnt have gone for the movie after days of insomnia. I shudve taken a good nights sleep and gone the next morning. My insomnolence made me magnify every lapse of logic in the movie... sigh
