Om Shanti Om

Another Bollywood great, Om Shanti Om explores the strength of a love that will not die. Featuring Shahrukh Khan, Om Shanti Om is filled with famous Bollywood stars. In the company of many the great stars, Shahrukh still stands out as the best. The story begins in the 1970's with Om's crush on the female superstar of the time. Om (Shahrukh) is a junior artiste hoping to be a hero in the movies. His ultimate dream is to unite with his Dreamy Girl, win the best actor award, and live in a big house with all the accoutrements. He dies a heroic death trying to save his "dreamy girl." Next thing we know, thirty years have passed and we see Om asleep on a round bed in a glorious house surrounded by servants, beautiful women, and an adoring public. Does he have another chance to realize his dreams? Will he remember his past life? There are some fun songs and dances and a very satisfying ending.
