Om Shanti Om: Update

The more I see of Farah Khan's Om Shanti Om, I cant help feeling she has a winner on her hands. Deepika Padukone looks a million bucks, Shreyas Talpade would prove to be an endearing sidekick and Shahrukh strangely has an author backed role to ham and the music is bursting the charts.
I liked all the nostalgia components, the sets, the costumes and especially the 786 starting couplet. I remember watching so many movies in the 70s that used to start with the couplet. Of course the 786 was immortalized forever in Deewar.
And the song Deewangi with 31 stars simply rocks. Its such a simple concept, copied from Manmohan Desai's Naseeb and its revolving restauarant, but there is something simply magical about getting all of Bollywood in one song for a fan.
Rock on...till Nov 9.
