Om Prakash Makhija is a poor young boy who is a junior film Language Hindi
artist in Bollywood and lives with his widowed mother Bela Budget ₹35 crore[1][2]
Makhija and close friend Pappu Master in a small chawl in
Mumbai. He is in love with Shantipriya Kashyap, a beautiful Box office est.
young girl who is a popular film actress in Bollywood. Om often ₹149 crore[3][4][5]
expresses his feelings before Shanti's film poster and desires to
meet her.
One night, he sneaks into the premiere of one of her films "Dreamy Girl" along with Pappu in disguise.
Later that night, a drunk Om gives an emotional speech to Pappu as he dreams of becoming a great
actor. Om and Pappu take small acting roles in films which are filmed at R.C. Studios, a major filming
compound owned by Mukesh Mehra, a charming but egotistical person who is a popular film
producer.
While shooting one day, Shanti gets trapped in a fire that grows out of control during filming. Risking
his life, Om jumps into the fire and rescues her. Shanti is grateful to him and the two become friends.
Om lies to Shanti that he is a famous South-Indian actor to impress her. He even puts an act of the
filming of his South-Indian film but ultimately tells Shanti the truth upon seeing her true love for him.
Shanti forgives Om and spends a night with him, gifting him a snow globe. However, things take a turn
when Om accidentally ends up overhearing a heated conversation between Shanti and Mukesh. He is
shocked to discover that they have been married for two years but have not revealed it in public as that
will ruin both of their careers. Shanti reveals to Mukesh that she is also pregnant with his child,
leaving Om heartbroken. He avoids Shanti entirely.
The next night, Mukesh takes Shanti to the set of her upcoming film titled Om Shanti Om and tells
her that they will cancel its production and have a grand marriage ceremony over there. Om reaches
there to meet Shanti for the last time and return her snow globe but is dejected upon seeing her with
Mukesh. He leaves from there and throws the snow globe away.
Meanwhile, Mukesh tells Shanti that his marriage with Shanti and the unborn child will destroy his
successful career. In order to prevent that, he lights up the set with fire and locks a horrified Shanti in
it, in order to kill her and the unborn child. As he exits the set, Om spots Shanti in the flames and
attempts to go and rescue her but is attacked by Mukesh's guards, leaving him severely injured. After
they leave, he manages to enter the set but is thrown out of the building by a big explosion. Om
staggers on the road as the set burns down with Shanti in it.
Om is left devastated upon witnessing this and suddenly gets hit by the car of renowned actor Rajesh
Kapoor. He takes him to a hospital with his pregnant wife Lovely Kapoor who is under labor. The
serious injuries of Om result in his death while still reminiscing about Shanti. Rajesh's assistant
Naseer asks his surgeon to keep this a secret from Bela and Pappu. Moments later, Rajesh and Lovely
are blessed with a baby boy named Om Kapoor.
2007
30 years later, Om Kapoor is shown as a rich young boy who is a superstar in Bollywood and is
revealed to be the rebirth of Om Prakash Makhija. He experiences Pyrophobia and often comes across
Bela who believes him to be her son and tries to take him to her house. An aged Pappu tries to make
her understand that he is someone else but she pays no heed to him. Om also ignores her and leaves
upon thinking that she has gone crazy.
He and his assistant Anwar Sheikh subsequently drive to the abandoned R.C. Studios for the filming of
one of Om's films. Om recognizes the place and experiences some flashbacks of his previous life. He
even finds Shanti's broken snow globe and is confused. That night, Om remembers the emotional
speech he had given to Pappu in a drunken state when he wins the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. As
he gives the same speech to the audience, Pappu watches his award function on TV and realizes that
his friend is reborn as Om Kapoor. Meanwhile, a grand party is thrown for Om's success. Om
remembers his whole previous life upon being visited by Mukesh, who now works in Hollywood and
wishes to make a film with him.
Later that night, he traces Bela and Pappu to the crawl and has an emotional reunion with them. The
three plan to avenge Shanti's death by making Mukesh confess his crime.
The next day, Om manages to convince Mukesh to resume the filming of Om Shanti Om at the same
ruined R.C. Studios. He auditions several actresses to find Shanti's look-alike but in vain. However,
Om ends up coming across Sandhya Bansal aka Sandy, a ditzy but kind-hearted girl who is an exact
doppelganger of Shanti. He hires her without revealing his plan and ends up firing her as she is unable
to act proudly. On Pappu's advice, Om reveals his plan to Sandy who promises him that she will help
him according to his plan.
At the inaugural ceremony of the Om Shanti Om set, Bela scares Mukesh in the disguise of a ghost,
and Om and Pappu try to light Shanti's photograph on fire to remind him of his crime. Although the
setup doesn't work, the photograph is supernaturally lit by fire which disturbs Mukesh and confuses
Om and Pappu. Mukesh is more horrified when Sandy appears in front of him dressed as Shanti in a
make-up room. Eventually, he decides to leave for America after seeing Shanti in the footage of Om
Shanti Om but Om asks him to wait for some days. He eventually performs the story of Shanti's life
through a song in front of Mukesh during the music launch of Om Shanti Om. However, Mukesh
discovers Sandy's real identity as her body bleeds due to an injury. Mukesh attempts to chase her but
is knocked unconscious by a falling chandelier.
After he regains consciousness, Om confronts him over his crime but Mukesh taunts him that he or his
"duplicate Shanti" cannot convict him for the murder as there is no proof for it. Just then, Sandy
reaches the scene. She reveals that after the fire in the set died down, Mukesh returned to the place.
Shanti was still alive then, but he buried her alive under the chandelier. She concludes that Shanti's
corpse will be found under the chandelier, which will be proof of her murder for the court. Mukesh
denies her revelation and attempts to shoot her but Om attacks him and a fire breaks out on the set.
He shoots him in his leg and is about to murder him but Sandy stops him, saying that Mukesh is
destined to die but not in his hands. She looks at the chandelier which falls and strikes Mukesh dead.
The next moment, Om is shocked when Pappu and Anwar reach the scene along with "Sandy". As he
glances back at the one in front of him, he realizes that the one who had revealed the proof of Shanti's
murder and killed Mukesh was the ghost of Shanti. She was responsible for lighting the photograph
with fire and knocking Mukesh unconscious too, helping him in his plan. Om reunites with Sandy and
waves at Shanti who tearfully smiles at him and disappears, having finally attained peace. The film
ends with all its cast and crew approaching the set of Om Shanti Om and the credits roll.

Development
In 2002, Farah Khan worked as a choreographer for the musical Bombay Dreams in London, which
she felt presented a "clichéd and outdated version" of the Indian film industry.[7] She thought that the
musical would not be successful if released in India.[7] She instead thought of a new story, writing her
initial thoughts about the subject on Andrew Lloyd Webber's letterhead while staying in his house.[8]
Later in 2006, Farah began to work on her next project, which was tentatively titled Happy New Year.
Amid speculations that Shah Rukh Khan would star in Happy New Year, the actor rejected the first
draft of the film, upon which Farah's husband and editor Shirish Kunder reminded her of the story she
had conceived while in London.[9] Happy New Year, which was to mark Deepika Padukone's Hindi
debut, was put on hiatus and revived more than 8 years later under the same title.[10]
Farah completed writing the first script of Om Shanti Om within two weeks.[9] She set the first half in
the 1970s as she felt the Hindi films made during that period were much more influential than those
made in other periods, particularly the 1980s, which she felt was a period when "the worst movies
were made". She also included many references to the 1970s, which were also prevalent in films of that
time. She said, "Everything in the first half is about the 70s—such as the mother who overacts,
mouthing clichéd dialogues. Then there are cabarets, badminton and other stuff popular during that
era."[7] Shah Rukh's costumes were designed by Karan Johar, while Manish Malhotra designed
Padukone's costumes. The rest of the cast had their costumes designed by Sanjeev Mulchandani.[11]
In addition to directing the film, Farah co-wrote the story with Mayur Puri and Mushtaq Shiekh. She
was also the film's choreographer. Puri wrote the screenplay and dialogues.[12] He completed the
writing process in two months and rewrote the film's second half.[13] Puri created the screenplay by
writing his natural reaction to the characters as scenarios. He knew that despite being part of a crowd,
junior artists do not want to be recognised as such, ruins their chances of landing a leading role in
future. This was used in a sequence involving Shah Rukh and Talpade, who play junior artists. Puri
blended different genres together in Om Shanti Om, which he felt was challenging. He used his
personal memories from childhood for creating the 1970s.[14] Shirish Kunder was the editor, while V.
Manikandan was the cinematographer.[12]
Sabu Cyril was the film's production designer. Sabu was first offered the Mani Ratnam-directed Guru
(2007) at a time when Om Shanti Om was being planned, but ultimately chosen the latter due to his
earlier commitment to Farah for her future project.[15] Farah used two particular dialogues in the film:
"When you want something badly, the whole universe conspires to give to you" and "In the end
everything will be ok and if its not ok its not the end". These were used as Khan felt that it reflected her
philosophy in her life.[16] Farah stated that the film's opening scene was her most favourite in it.[17] In
2008, Puri felt his most favourite dialogue from the ones he wrote would be the Filmfare Awards
speech.[14] The film's title derives from the eponymous song from the film Karz (1980).[18] Om is a
Hindu mantra; Om Shanti Om roughly translates to "Peace Be With You".[19][20]
The film opens with the grandeur shot of the most famous songs of Karz that is Om Shanti Om
featuring Rishi Kapoor and SRK as a junior film artist standing in the crowd.[21]
Casting
Shah Rukh was cast as the lead; he gained six packs for a song
sequence.[22] He felt Om Shanti Om was a "happy film".[23]
Farah was advised by Malaika Arora to cast Padukone as the

female lead, who was suggested by Wendell Roddick, under whom
Padukone was working.[24] She was cast without a screen test.[25]
Khan felt that she was "a beautiful, classic Indian beauty" who fit
the role of an actor of the 1970s.[7] She was excited at the prospect
of working with Shah Rukh and said, "I've grown up watching
[Shah Rukh] and always admired him so much. To get to work
with him ... is quite wonderful. It was also fantastic that Farah
showed faith in my talent and cast me opposite him."[26]
In preparation for her role, Padukone watched several films of

actresses Helen and Hema Malini to study their body language.[27]
Her character was modelled after Malini and nicknamed Dreamy
Deepika Padukone plays the love Girl after her the latter's nickname as Dream Girl.[28] Rampal was
interest of Shah Rukh Khan's approached by both Khan and Shah Rukh at the latter's New Year's
character in her Hindi film debut.
Eve party. Rampal was initially reluctant to do the role as he felt it
was "too evil" for someone like him. With persuasion from Shah
Rukh, he agreed. Rampal wore a mustache in the film which was
[9]
suggested by Shah Rukh. Shreyas Talpade played a supporting role as the best friend of Khan's
character. After the release of Iqbal (2005) and completing the filming of Dor, Talpade, who attended
the same gym as Khan, was called for a narration of what would be Om Shanti Om. He agreed to do
the role.[29]
Kirron Kher, Bindu and Javed Sheikh also appear in the film.[30] 31 Bollywood film actors appeared in
cameo appearances for the song "Deewangi Deewangi". Other actors were also supposed to play
cameos, including Fardeen Khan, who was arrested in Dubai over a drug case. Dev Anand refused as
he always played lead roles in his career. Madhuri Dixit refused due to the promotional activities of
Aaja Nachle (2007). Ajay Devgn refused due to his friend Arjun Rampal playing the villainous role in
the film. Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu didn't appear in the song, despite plans to include them.
Amitabh Bachchan refused due to his Abhishek Bachchan's wedding to Aishwarya Rai, while Aamir
Khan refused due to Taare Zameen Par (2007) on his pending editing. Khan had wanted the three
Khans to appear together in a film. Rekha, who appears in the song, carried out 2 days of rehearsal for
it. All those who appeared for the song received gifts, including a Blackberry phone and a Tag Heuer
watch.[9]
Principal photography
Om Shanti Om was made on a budget of ₹40 crore.[2] The first scene to be filmed was one where
Talpade's character tells Shah Rukh's character that he will be a hero; Shah Rukh was an hour late for
filming.[29] Farah was pregnant with triplets while filming and experienced difficulties while shooting,
she would constantly vomit while directing the film.[31] The film was shot entirely in sync sound;
Farah dismissed rumours of Padukone's voice being dubbed.[32] In 2015, however, Mona Ghosh
Shetty admitted to have dubbed for Padukone in the film.[33] The fake fight scene involving a stuffed
tiger was inspired by a similar scene in the film Tarzan 303.[9] Old cars owned by actors Rajesh
Khanna and Hema Malini were used for filming for authenticity.[34]
A number of references to real life was also filmed, including a scene in which Om rescues Shanti from
a fire, which was a spoof of Sunil Dutt rescuing Nargis from a fire on the sets of Mother India (1957).
For a shot involving a Filmfare Awards ceremony, Khan stood on the red carpet of an actual Filmfare
Award ceremony and requested actors to dictate dialogues as she stated. The song "Deewangi
Deewangi" was shot over a period of six days.[9] The song "Dhoom Taana" has digitally altered guest
appearances, which included Sunil Dutt from Amrapali (1966), Rajesh Khanna from Sachaa Jhutha
(1970) and Jeetendra from Jay Vejay (1977).[35] Farah wanted to film Shakira for filming a special
appearance had made her commit a few days for the role. Due to the uncertainty of her dates, the idea
was scrapped.[34]
In February 2007, a filming schedule was completed in Film City. It was then reported that filming
would move outdoors after Shah Rukh completed filming for Kaun Banega Crorepati.[36] In October
2007, Abhishek Bachchan finished filming for his cameo appearance; he shot between 10 and 2 in the
night for his screen time of about one and a half minutes.[37] Filming of the last sequence and the end-
credit song was done in Film City.[38] Farah continued the tradition of featuring an end-credits song
beginning with Main Hoon Na (2004).[39]
Om Shanti Om was produced by Shah Rukh's wife Gauri Khan under their Red Chillies Entertainment
banner. While Marching Ants handled the publicity design, Gauri was the presenter. Shyam Kaushal,
Amar Shetty and Shah Rukh were the action directors.[12] The film's final reel length was 4013.94 ft
(1223.45 m).[12]
Music

and background score for the film but he opted out after Soundtrack album by Vishal–

1970s, while appealing to newer audiences at the same time.[43] Trade reports predicted the album to
be commercially successful.[44] The soundtrack album of Om Shanti Om was released on 15 August
2007 on CD.[42][45]
Pyarelal of the Laxmikant-Pyarelal duo guest composed the title Dhoom Taana. He had stopped
composing after the death of his partner Laxmikant, but after Farah Khan requested a song as tribute
to the music of the 70s and the 80s, he agreed at the insistence of his wife and daughter. The song was
recorded with a 150-member-orchestra and traditional instruments like drums, tabla, dholak and
dafli, a trademark of Laxmikant-Pyarelal. He used more than 40 different percussion instruments.[41]
In a soundtrack review, Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama gave it four stars out of five and
opines, "Om Shanti Om is easily one of the most complete scores by Vishal-Shekhar and Javed
Akhtar."[46] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com also gave it four stars out of five, applauding the tracks but
criticised the "Dark Side" mix. She concludes her review by writing, "Om Shanti Om is an out-and-out
musical that captivates with its roaring polyphony and unabashed drama."[47] Aakash Gandhi of
Planet Bollywood gave a rating of 8.5 stars out of 10 and writes, "not only have [Vishal–Shekhar]
proven themselves in terms of musical ingenuity and quality, they have shown us the confidence, the
poise, and the ability to step up to the plate and hit a grand-slam when they're called upon to do so."
He further gave them a "standing ovation".[48] Writing for AllMusic, Bhaskar Gupta gave the album
4.5 stars out of five and praises the composers, writing, "Vishal-Shekhar finally delivered a soundtrack
that could be deemed their signature offering."[49]
Vishal–Shekhar was nominated for the Best Music Director at the 53rd Filmfare Awards, Producers
Guild Awards 2008 and Zee Cine Awards 2008, winning for Best Composer at the 2nd Asian Film
Awards.[50] Vishal Dadlani was alone nominated for Best Lyrics for "Ajab Si" at the Filmfare and

Release
Om Shanti Om created a record of sorts by going in for an unheard of 2000 prints (worldwide) release.
This was the highest number of prints (including digital) for any Indian movie at the time of its
release.[52] Om Shanti Om set another record for registered pre-advance booking of 18,000 tickets in a
chain of theatres in Delhi a few days before the advance booking was to start.[53] A special screening
was conducted for Bollywood actors.[54] Red Chillies Entertainment had reportedly sold the world
rights for the film to Eros International for an amount between Rs. 720–750 million. Baba Films, a
production and distribution company, had offered a record Rs. 110 million for the rights to the
Mumbai Circuit, surpassing the highest amount ever paid for the territory. As a marketing strategy,
Amul advertised Shah Rukh.[55]
Nina Davuluri's talent for Miss America 2014 was a Hindi Film fusion dance choreographed by Nakul
Dev Mahajan and performed to Dhoom Taana. It was the first time Hindi Film ever appeared on the
Miss America stage and Davuluri is the first Indian American to win the competition.[56][57][58][59][60]
Om Shanti Om was remade into a Japanese musical titled Oomu Shanti Oumu.[61][62] A book, titled
The Making of Om Shanti Om written by Mushtaq Sheikh, was released after the release of the film.
The book gives an insight into the production and happenings behind the camera of the film.[63][64]
Controversy
One of the leading actors of the film, Manoj Kumar planned to sue the makers of Om Shanti Om for
showing his body double in bad taste.[65] Kumar added, "Are the Mumbai police so stupid that they
can't recognise Manoj Kumar and lathicharge him in the '70s when he was a star?".[66] Kumar also
alleged that Shahrukh Khan is communal.[67] Later, in a press conference, Shahrukh Khan and
director Farah Khan accepted their mistake and apologised for the matter.[68] Farah Khan even
offered to cut the scene which Manoj Kumar felt was hurtful, but Kumar refused on grounds that, as
Farah had stated, "I [Farah Khan] am like his daughter. He said, 'Betiyaan maafi nahi maangti'
(Daughters don't ask for forgiveness). I told him that he could've called me and scolded me."[68] Later,
Kumar said that though this incident was hurtful to him, he wishes to forgive, ignore, and move on,
saying that he prefers to "see Ram in everyone and ignore the Ravana."[69]
Before the film's television premiere on Sony TV, Manoj Kumar filed for a stay on the television
release, at civil court in Mumbai. On 8 August 2008, he won permanent injunction on the scenes in
Om Shanti Om that lampooned him. The court ordered the producers and Sony Entertainment
Television, to edit the Manoj Kumar look-alike scenes before showing the film on the channel on 10
August 2008. It also ordered that the film could not be shown in any media—TV, DVD or Internet—
without the scene being deleted.[70][71]
Plagiarism allegations
On 7 August 2008, before its television release, scriptwriter Ajay Monga moved the Bombay High
Court alleging that the basic storyline of the film was lifted from a film script he had emailed to Shah
Rukh Khan in 2006. According to the petition, "Monga, along with one more writer Hemant Hegde,
had registered the script with the Cine Writers Association (CWA) in September 2005. In January
2008, Cine Writers Association (CWA) rejected Monga's appeal at a special Executive Committee
meeting. Thereafter, he approached the court to stay the film's screening on television. Though, on 6
August the court rejected Monga's plea for seeking a stay on the television telecast, it directed all the
respondents including Shahrukh Khan, Farah Khan, Red Chillies Entertainment, Gauri Khan (director
Red Chillies) and film's co-writer Mushtaq Sheikh, to file their say by the next hearing on 29
September 2008.[72][73] In November 2008, the Film Writers' association sent a communication to
Red Chillies and Ajay Monga that it had found similarities in Om Shanti Om and Monga's script. The
similarities were more than mere coincidences according to Sooni Taraporewala who chaired a special
committee that has investigated the case on behalf of the Film Writers' association.[74]
Another allegation of plagiarism came from Rinki Bhattacharya, daughter of late Bimal Roy, who
directed Madhumati (1958). She threatened legal action against Red Chillies Entertainment and the
producer-director of Om Shanti Om, as she felt that the film's second half was similar to Madhumati,
also a rebirth saga.[72][75]
Reception
Critical response
India
Om Shanti Om was received positively by Indian film critics.[76][77][78] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood
Hungama gave it four stars out of five and writes, "Om Shanti Om is Bollywood masala in its truest
form and also, at its best" but notes, "the second half could've been crisper".[79] Khalid Mohamed of
Hindustan Times gave the film four stars out of five and appreciated the performances, observing how
Rampal is "consistently first-rate as the suave villain" while Padukone is "fantastic, so surprisingly
assured that you marvel at her poised debut". He notes that "the enterprise belongs to Shah Rukh
Khan, who tackles comedy, high drama and action with his signature style—spontaneous and
intuitively intelligent. Six-pack or no-packs, he's the entertainer of the year in this valentine to the
movies."[80]
Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India gave the film three and a half stars out of five and writes, "Farah
Khan's re-birth saga literally makes an art of retro and paints the seventies pop culture in Andy
Warholish strokes". She called it an "unabashed tribute" to Karz.[81] Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave it
three and a half stars out of five and applauded the performances of Shah Rukh, Padukone and
Talpade. He writes, "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." He
criticised the dialogues and excessive cameos in the film.[82]
Rajeev Masand of News18 gave the film three stars out of five and writes, "Unpretentious and
completely transparent in its intentions, Om Shanti Om is an entertainer in the true sense of the word,
mixing up genre elements like comedy, drama, action and emotion to create a heady broth of
Manmohan Desai-style exaggerated entertainment." He compliments the dialogues "which so cleverly
incorporates Bollywood's oldest clichés into these characters' everyday parlance."[83] A commentator
for Indo-Asian News Service felt that Shah Rukh's acting was repetitive and writes, "He needs to
curtail his unwarranted superstar mannerisms even in a total masala film like Om Shanti Om", while
complimenting the performances of Padukone, Rampal and Talpade.[77]
Sudish Kamnath of The Hindu stated that the film is "an unabashed celebration of willing suspension
of disbelief, calling it a "light-hearted tribute to Hindi cinema the way we know it and love it". He
praised the performances of Shah Rukh, Padukone and Talpade, while criticising Rampal and Kher.
He also praised the various spoofs, especially the ones directed at Manoj Kumar, Sanjay Leela
Bhansali and Abhishek Bachchan.[84] Writing for SantaBanta.com, Subhash K. Jha gave it one star out
of five and criticised the spoofs "which keeps swinging from homage to imitation with infuriating
artifice", writing, "The mood is one of patronizing and condescension rather than genuine admiration
for an era that's gone with the wind".[85]
Overseas
On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Om Shanti Om holds an approval rating of 76%, based on
17 reviews with an average score of 7.21/10.[86] Tajpal Rathore of BBC gave it 4 out of 5 stars as well
and stated, "Both a homage to and parody of Hindi Films, this cinematic feast delivered straight from
the heart of the film industry will have you glued to your seats till the end."[87] Mark Medley of
National Post gave 3 stars and stated, "The film is a mess for all the right reasons; elements of
comedy, drama, romance, action and the supernatural are packed in. But really, the plot is just a
vehicle to get from one song-and-dance number to the next."[88] AOL gave the film 3 out of 5 stars
stating, "The movie consists of all the elements that are essentially called the 'navratnas' of Indian
cinema – from joy to grief to romance to revenge. And she mixes these well to cook up a potboiler,
which is sure to be a runaway hit."[89]
Box office
Om Shanti Om opened across 878 cinemas in 2000 prints worldwide.[90] The film's net gross (after
deducting entertainment tax) was ₹994 million (US$24.04 million) in India.[91] The film collected
$2.78 million in the United Kingdom, $3.6 million in North America,[92] and $6,857,816 collectively
from the rest of the world, which resulted in total overseas collections of $13,077,815,[93] the fourth
largest of all time as of 2010.[92] As a result of these collections, a worldwide gross of ₹215 crore
(US$52 million) was accumulated.[94]
Home media
In the United Kingdom, the film was watched by 750,000 viewers on Channel 4 in 2010. This made it
the year's most-watched foreign-language film on UK television, above the Japanese anime film
Spirited Away and German animated film The Little Polar Bear.[95]
