Yet another Shahrukh Khan starer and a mega production is coming to light this November – it is none other than Farah Khan’s second film “Om Shanti Om”. Revisit the 70s of Bollywood with film!
Here is the synopsis of the film’s promos as circulating on net:
Noor-e-haq sham-ae-ilahi ko mita sakta hai kaun Jiska haami hai khuda usko mita sakta hai kaun
Alright, so the hardcore Urdu couplet that kick starts the promo of Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om rewinds you back to the sixties social, a la Yash Chopra’s Waqt where the poetic meaning forewarned us, as to what is going to follow. Well, it goes without saying that the premise of this hugely mounted entertainer has movies as its backdrop. Shah Rukh is a junior artiste with star-gaze as his only respite; while ravishing Deepika Padukone is the proverbial amply-endowed star of the sixties-seventies, with a smile that kisses her dimples like the dewdrops sliding on a nubile flower petal.
The dream girl is off to a premiere of her big ticket flick while love-struck SRK (in a check coat) is driven away by guards forcefully. Montages of transition follow. A convertible biggie car stops with a screech. ‘STAR’ shines on its number plate. SRK has a Filmfare award in his hand while Padukone draped in a Kanjeevram sleeveless sari dances away to glory on a big dhol (obviously it’s an ode to Sridevi of Himmatwala). Helen is not to be left behind, as totally transformed Deepika oozes out of a life like cage draped in the Monika ensemble. Phew!
SRK on his part showcases many of the characters that he has played in his career. There are traces of Raj-Rahul as he dances in a lavish party, sings the open-chested romantic duets, rides a macho bike, the blood smeared Baazigar who also dabbles in Devdas for a while. There’s a Shah Rukh Khan voiceover that takes this ninety second promo forward proclaiming adherence to escapist cinema. Yes, no bad endings for this one. “Picture abhi khatam nahin hui hai,” he says in an inebriated tone.

Now that Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan are under the police eye, Bollywood is finding itself in a great jeopardy. Who can replace the two of the most countable actors? The question has shaken quiet a few. “They are cult figures and they have a certain equation with the audience which makes them indispensible,” says David Dhawan.
Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik roshan, the other countable stars have their hands full. So the only ones remaining are Amir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, John Abraham and Saif Ali Khan. Will they be able to deliver more number of quality acts than they usually do? So the hope remains on the recent comers Riteish Deshmukh, Sharman Joshi and the debutant Ranbir Kapoor and the likes. Let us see who grabs the show now that there are two great holes in the closely knit competition.

Marigold will see lots of Salman Khan
Leading Hollywood filmmaker Willard Carroll about his experience of working with Salman Khan in Marigold and his impressions of Bollywood .
A Hollywood filmmaker has taken up Bollywood’s cause and has sworn his first Hollywood-meets-Bollywood film will be free of kitsch and will have lots of Salman. Willard Carroll on Bollywood, Amitabh and spending four days in Sallu’s house!
150 Hindi films and counting...
The first Bollywood film I ever saw was Chori Chori Chupke Chupke . After that, I went home and watched about 150 Bollywood movies and got well versed with Hindi cinema. Then I returned to Mumbai and met Salman Khan. I had 15 minutes with him and thought I would briefly explain what my next film Marigold will be all about. And the next thing I knew, he had thrown a party for me, invited all his friends and I was practically adopted by his family! It was quite a treat and I left his house after four days. Salman is a very chilled out guy who seems to treat acting like child’s play. But actually he is a serious professional. Salman’s instincts are spot on.
Dancing to an Indian tune...
My film’s leading lady Ali Larter had no clue about Bollywood. In fact, she was sitting next to an Indian woman in a plane and asked her who Salman is. The Indian woman got really excited and said that he is the heartthrob of the Indian film industry. That made Ali say yes to the film.
But once here, the dancing was quite a challenge for her. Ali comes from the school of thought that you have to learn everything about the character. So she wanted to get her steps right and she actually did. But when she saw others doing their steps with the assistants, she realised that all her effort was in vain.
Bollywood-Hollywood...
I have met almost all Bollywood stars during the shooting of the film. I met Aamir when he was campaigning for Lagaan at the Oscars. I think he is a brilliant guy. Here the actors are very warm and open-hearted. I also like the humility of stars like Aamir and Shah Rukh when they are not facing the camera. But the moment the camera is switched on, they explode with energy. They are real gentlemen. They have perfect comic timing and this is how the movie stars in the West used to be. I miss this in Hollywood.
Sean is our Big B...
Sean Connery is our Amitabh Bachchan. He commands a lot of respect and I have had a lot of good luck working with the actors in Hollywood as well. Also I think Preity Zinta and Rani Mukherji have the ability to make it big in Hollywood. My own movie will open the doors for a lot of actors from India in Hollywood.
