Ohm Shanthi Oshaana

This movie was adorable and I loved watching every second of it! I couldn't help but squeal every time Nivin Pauly was on. Though he didn't really have to do much for some parts and just act like some macho tough dude, he was still tremendous. Cute movies, in my eyes, aren't Malayalam movies specialty but they've done a great job with this movie! As always, the acting was superb and the plot of this movie was too cute.

Every man, every woman or girl may be some dreams , but if that dreams are on love it will be perfect ! Same case was here in this movie. A school girl had fallen in love on a young man. Its a simple story but just a hard love line up . Better movie for enjoying .....

Super cute. ❤ Entertaining. Liked it from the start when they gave cigarette smoking warning. 😁 First half is very relatable and the second half is what we could only dream because most of our high school crushes are already married by the time we complete our graduation so no chance of happy ending. 😁

The story is sweet and innocent. The plot made out of the story is brilliant and credible. The film made out of the plot is charismatic & nonchalant. Debutante Jude Anthany Joseph succeeds, in all ways, with this film and when he comes up with his second film, I'll pre-book tickets.

It is a story about a carefree girl who falls in love with a farmer. Her obsession is not infatuation but real love, which she soon realizes. The film revolves around her daring attempts to be with the man she is so fond of. Nasriya Nazim so marvelously handles the lead role that I am at awe right now. Nivin Pauly is very good, as well. But I am more impressed with the supporting cast. The film moves nicely ahead without boring its audience.

The direction is amazing and so is the cinematography. Best thing is the BG score: the diverse use of popular film songs & melodies gives a wonderful effect to the whole drama. I laughed my stomach off quite a few times because the humor is not only comic but also fresh. The scenes have been captured well to tell the story which has nothing hidden or hideous about it. Unlike the recent make-believe potboilers, it constantly strives to entertain and it does. It also manages to break few stereotypes and talks about social causes.

BOTTOM LINE: You will want to fall in love after watching this because this is one sweet film made with love and passion. It shows. Highly Recommended!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Hrishikesh Mukherjee, who made PG Wodehouse come alive in India, still manages to influence movie-makers, the good ones esp., whether or not they're aware of that fact. One of the happiest movies (yes, a movie, a work of art, can also be a happy thingummy) I've seen after Sally Hawkins live it up in the eponymous 'Happy-Go- Lucky', 'Om Shanti Oshana' (Or, 'Ohm Shanthi Oshaana') is light, vibrant and breezy all through, right from its beginning to (oh why did it have to) end.

Evocative of 'Guddi', without all (OK, most) the clichés that one paraded around with, this is a one of the best coming-of-age romantic comedies I've seen in any language since a long time, that's just so FRESH!

The movie, for some, might seem to belong just to Nazriya Nazim, who owns every scene she's in, and she's in every damn scene. Its completely about her, and when she's not in frame, she's in our heads (ahem, she's also the narrator). Believe me, I ain't complainin', not one bit. However, its not just her(s). The director, Jude Anthany (not a typo) Joseph, owns every frame he's conceptualized, and shot, along with having the other character come-to-life: one of the most inspiring soundtracks ever rendered (Shaan Rahman, returning after a strong, yet a tad unoriginal work in 'Thira', that I've reviewed here earlier). I simply can't get it outa my head, and am not sure I wanna.

And oh, the creep factor, that could've 'crept' in, doesn't. Not to me anyways. Nivin Pauly is serviceable, the strong/silent type, that every woman just falls for, and none of the supporting characters falter even a bit. The surprises keep coming, and the lead's flights of fancy are sequences to look forward to, while also savoring everything that comes in-between. Fully fleshed out characters seem as easy to Joseph as ripping his shirt off is to a Bollywood dumb-hunk who shall remain nameless for now.

This one's pitch-perfect - Do Not miss it at your local multiplex - this one's having a wide release too, so I'm sure it's playing in most cities all over the world. And yes, it has subtitles, but you won't need them, since its all about lives that few among us are fortunate to lead, and for the rest of us, we have Nazriya Nazim's rendering of rainbows.
