Om Shanti Om is a classic from commercial Hindi cinema. It is directed by Farah Khan and blends romance, reincarnation, and self-aware humour into a wildly entertaining package. Starring Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role and marking the debut of Deepika Padukone, the film follows Om, a junior artist in the 1970s who is reborn decades later to avenge his tragic past and lost love.
The film is known for its vibrant homage to Bollywood, complete with grand sets, dramatic storytelling, and iconic songs. Beneath its glossy surface lies a clever satire of film industry tropes and celebrity culture. Released in 2007, it became a massive commercial success and a cultural phenomenon, cementing its place as a modern Bollywood classic that celebrates cinema while playfully poking fun at it.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Jawan, for which he was feted with the National Film Award for Best Actor. He shared the award with Vikrant Massey, who was lionised for his work in 12th Fail.
On the work front, SRK will be next seen in King, for which he has summoned practically the entire Hindi film industry. The film is helmed by Siddharth Anand, who directed SRK in Pathaan.
