Whats Better? Karan Arjun Or Om Shanti Om


The subject of Reincarnation in movies is sometimes exciting and Fun to watch. Whats better? i love both but lets analyse...

- Karan Arjun..... (The Plusses)
1. Shahrukh and Salman First time together and great chemistery
2. Great Acting by SRK and Salman
3. Great directing by Rakesh Roshan and decent music.
4. The storyline sounds silly but it was well handled by director.
5. Great scenes (i.e. Karan Arjun Death scene, Ajay Vijay first fight)
.................... (The Minus)
1. Second half starts getting a wee bit slow and drags on
2. The Villains acting was way too cartoonish. Especially Amrish Puri's what a joke son.
3. Mamta's undressing scene was not necessary.
4. Salman Khan does animal cruelty by kicking and punching horse at the final fight scene. Felt sorry for the Horse.
5. Rakhee.... I felt her character was way too unrealistic and therfore her acting i found a wee bit louder and annoying.

NOW..

- Om Shanti OM.... (The Plusses)
1. Launching Deepika.... What a Gem
2. So Many Bollywood Stars in one song and scenes. Getting SRK, Salman, Saif and Sanjay together was a Blast. Seeing Dharmendra and Mithun was Fun.
3. Fabulous acting by SRK, Deepika, Arjun Rampal
4. Superb Music.. (Main agaar kahoon and jag soona soona)
5. Great direction by Farah Khan
6. Amazing Scenes (i.e. SRK and Deepika Fire death scene, filmfare award scene and song and finale twist)
7. Homage to Bollywood in many ways
8. Overall FUN
................ (The Minusses)
1. Second half revenge scenes to plan Arjuns confession are a little slow paced, becomes comedy from serious.
2. Storyline is a bit tooo cheesy. SRK Dies and gets reincarnated. Deepika dies and comes back as a Ghost at the end Plus she has a identical look alike.
3. Kiron Kher is fun at times but also does overact and irritate.
4. It came out in 2006.... You now have every tom dick and harry thinking they are a critic and some will hate Om Shanti Om, strangely they tend to be salman fans...Jeez come on. They are both good actors but SRK has clearly made much better films in their filmography...Fact...

Please do comment.

I have heard that a lot that there was overacting...i agree but the overacting was for comedy purposes...they even took a jibe at themselves for that in the scene between Kiron kher and SRK in the beginning of the movie...the anarkali scene...if you remember...so I don't have any problem with that
