 Title
Om - The Ultimate Power
Cast Attin Bhalla, Sandali Sinha, Mukesh Rishi, Sarad Saxena
Director Ashok Honda
Genre Action Romantic
Year 2003
Sandali is the pampered, arrogant daughter of Pankaj Dheer. She happens to meet
Attin and takes an instant liking for him. The two fall in love but Sandali's
father and step-mother Rakhi Sawant completely disapprove of the relationship
because according to the will of Sandali's dead mother, the person who marries
her would inherit Sandali's wealth.
Dheer and Rakhi are keen that she marries someone else. They even try every
trick in the book to separate the lovers, but true love triumphs eventually.
The flick is aimed at the masses with some fiery dialogues and vibrant action
sequences that would appeal more to the hoi polloi. To cite instances, the hero
chasing the henchman on railway tracks with a sword in his hand or the hero
getting burnt with a gas stove – sequences like these are aplenty, which are not
only executed well, but hold tremendous mass appeal too.
Another plus factor is its slick pace. The director, who's edited the film as
well, has maintained the brisk pace right till the climax. In fact, thanks to
the crisp editing, there are hardly any dull moments. But, like mentioned
earlier, had Honda gone in for a fresh script, it would've made a world of a
difference.
Action sequences [Bhiku Verma] are first-rate. Dialogues [Naeem-Ejaz] are
power-packed.
