Om Jai Jagadish

This movie represents traditional Bollywood themes of family, integrity, perseverance, redemption and above all the power of love. It shows how these values are tested through trials and tribulations of modern society and changing family dynamics. This subject matter has been shown in different variations countless times over so in order to make it work an established cast and strong performances are essential. Anupam Kher has done well to cast Anil Kapoor as the family patriarch supported well by Fardeen Khan and especially Abhishek Bachchan who is maturing into a commanding screen presence in a similar fashion to his father before him. The most fleshed out female character is portrayed by Urmila Matondkar who plays the role well but this movie is about the maturation of the relationship between Om, Jai and Jagdish. The songs are above average at best. By no means is this a great movie but it is entertaining, good hearted and worth seeing.

One of the BEST family movies in BOLLYWOOD!!

Great story!! Inspiring!!

Hit all the right notes. Good acting and storyline. Overall, nice watch.

Mr Kher is widely known all over for his acting - now he has shown us his directing ability too, and I'm happy to say he has done a very good job.

He put together a large star cast, all talented, and they have all done well. My favourite would be Waheeda Rehman, she was brilliant in OJJ. There is nice music, an average script, an entertaining story, and super cool direction.

Om Jai Jagdish may not have been commercially successful, but it is certainly decent cinema. It is a very unique film, in the sense that it has combined the style of yesteryear and maturer cinema, with the modern and glamour factor of today. I applaud Mr Kher for this, its very difficult and he has done it well.

Underrated!

We all know movies like Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, Satyaprem Ki Katha, and 12th Fail all give a message but this movie Om Jai Jagadish was one of the most heartwarming and emotional movies I haven't seen in a long time since i've been a loyal Abhishek Bachchan fan since Dhoom. I absolutely loved Anil Kapoor's performance as Om which he's more similar to Balbir Singh from Animal (which Kapoor also played). Fardeen Khan did good as a mechanic. Mahima, Urmila, Tara all did magnificent and slayed in the whole movie. Overall everyone should watch this masterpiece at all times 10/10!
