Farah Khan, the choreographer turned director [Main Hoon Na (2004)] is one film old and already she created waves in the Hindi film industry.
The film boasts of King Khan's return to Farah's direction after 3 years. Khan, who's Chak De! India has be declared super-hit, is riding high on it's success and he hopes to continue his winning streak with this film, Hirani's next and S.Shankar [Sivaji the Boss fame] with "Robot". Also in the cast is debutant, Deepika Padoune [Kannada fame], Shreyas Talpade and other stars.
Music director-duo Vishal-Shekhar composed some retro tracks based off the films. In the end, we can forgive them for the hip-hop that was CASH and success with OM SHANTI OM.
Main Aggar Kahoon (4.9/5)
If it weren't for the Ilaiyaraaja hangover for this track, the song would undoubtly be the best of the lot. Sonu Nigam is back in form after along time. Must have been a heavy toll for the singer with his tours, his newly born kid and stuff. Shreya Goshal supports aptly with Nigam after a long time.
Dastaan-E-Om Shanti Om (4/5)
A dark and gutsy song with some great organization. The main problem is that it's got Shaan croon for the dark and gruff-like song. Nothing wrong with that. I just felt that he was decent but I strongly feel that a singer like M.G Sreekumar, one of my favorites would've been rocking in this track as song but I guess the background score makes up for it.
Ajabi Se (4.6/5)
The songs seems strikingly familiar. Can't remember where. Anyways, KK's decent, if only they roped in Vijay Yesudas for this, the song would undoubtedly be the best. It's okay in the end.
Dhoom Thana (3.4/5)
The tracks' just average. Nothing remotely interesting aside form Goshal's voice and that Date's vocals.
Deewangi Deewangi (4/5)
Another good song. But did they really have to repeat the same "retro" tunes. I under stand it's a "retro" movie but jeez man! Hard to differenciate!
Dard-E-Disco (5/5)
Best of the lot. Go Sukhwinder saab!
On the whole, OM SHANTI OM is pleasant album to play anytime anywhere. To be frank, it's a step up to that slow poke OST that is the latest SAAWARIYA.
