Wow! ‘Darr Ke Aagey Jeet Hain’ – when you have such a fearing tagline, trying to capitalize on the unshaven looks of the main protagonists, one feels that this is going to be an exciting and thrilling musical experience as an army of composers queue up to have their compositions exposed.

Farah Khan’s second film is not as cohesive as her directorial debut – ‘Main Hoon Na’ even though it’s still a warm and flamboyant homage to the films of her youth. ‘Om Shanti Om’ doesn’t take itself seriously; there are no hidden meanings – only a clear purpose [...]
