I totally enjoyed this flick and was stunned by the quality of the acting, script. Has a wow factor unequalled by any Hindi film in memory. Written By: Farah Khan, Mushtaq Sheikh, Mayur Puri, Mustaq Sheikh, Mushtaq Shiekh Om Shanti Om was directed and co-written by Farah Khan, who was a top choreographer in the Indian film industry before moving up to the director's chair, and features guest spots from a number of Bollywood's greatest stars, a few appearing in the form of digital recreations taken from films of the '70s. Despite his fame, Om is lonely, at least until he meets Sandhya (also played by Deepika Padukone), a shy but eager would-be actress looking for her chance to become a star. Thirty years later, a bit of Om's spirit seems to live on in Om Kapoor (also played by Shah Rukh Khan), a popular film actor with a large ego and a fear of flame who was born the day the old studio burned down. Before Om can decide what to make of his misgivings, the studio burns to the ground, claiming the lives of Om and Shantipriya. One day, Om meets Shantipriya on a movie set, and he feels as if destiny is finally smiling on him, but when he overhears her having an argument with studio chief Mukesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal), Om senses things are not as they should be.

Om's ambition is to become a film star and win the heart of beautiful screen siren Shantipriya (Deepika Padukone), and his pal Pappu (Shreyas Talpade) and his mother, Bela (Kirron Kher), both encourage him not to give up on his dreams. It's the early '70s, and Om Prakash Makhija (Shah Rukh Khan) is a young would-be actor who has been playing bit parts in Bollywood musicals while looking for his big break. Love and dreams follow two starry-eyed actors across three decades and two incarnations in this splashy Hindi musical. Om then hires a look-alike of Shantipriya, and hopes to force a confession out of Mukesh - but things go awry and Om finds his. He also meets with Mukesh and together they decide to make a movie 'Om Shanti Om'. His memories start to return when he meets with his widowed mother, Bela, from his previous birth. 30 years later, Om has reincarnated as the only son of a Bollywood actor, Rajesh Kapoor, and is himself an actor.

Om attempts to rescue her in vain, and he eventually is killed. He then watches in horror as Mukesh, after luring her in an abandoned studio, sets it on fire to prevent a financial loss and protect his career. His hopes seems to be coming true, but shortly thereafter he finds out that she is married to a film producer, Mukesh Mehra, and is expecting his child. Om rescues Shanti from a fire scene where the fire has escaped control, and they become friends. Om Prakash Makhija is a Junior Artist in the 1970's hindi film industry, who is in love with actress Shantipriya. He attempts to discover the mystery of his demise and find Shanti, the love of his previous life. In the 1970s, Om, an aspiring actor, is murdered, but is immediately reincarnated into the present day.
