Om Shanti Om

My roommates Sara and Shelly made the mistake of showing us a fantastic Bollywood movie called Om Shanti Om. It really is fantastic, and I don't mean my "it's-so-corny-and-horrible-that-it's-fantastic" fantastic. It really is an excellent movie, complete with awesome musical numbers (it wouldn't be Bollywood without them!).

And when I say mistake, I mean that the day after we watched it, we all woke up singing either "Dard-e-disco" or the "Dastaan-e-om Shanti om" song. And then we watched clips of the movie over and over and over... and over. Mel went insane by the end of the day.

Now I have the songs on my iPod. Mwahaha...

Anyways, I would definitely recommend Om Shanti Om

Here is a clip of my second favorite song from the movie. This one is probably the most ridiculous, considering this is the main character (who is a famous actor) dancing on the set of one of his films. And on the actual movie, the translation of the chorus is "my heart is full of pain of disco." I like it better.


It's supposed to be ridiculous. It's actually mocking Bollywood a bit.

(I would show you my favorite song, but it kind of gives away the plot. So I won't)
