Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi

On the whole, Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi is a dark comedy that works in parts. Tharun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba deliver satisfactory performances, and a few comic moments click. However, the slow second half and lack of fresh elements restrict its appeal. Viewers who have not seen the original may find it passable, while others might feel underwhelmed.

Altogether, Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi turns out to be a decent entertainer. Tharun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba came up with spirited performances and director AR.Sajeev did justice to the Malayalam remake Jaya Jaya Jayahe. Those who watched the film, find it nothing new and boring but those who haven't seen it will enjoy it, though at times, the narration dragged a bit. Had the film been original, Tharun Bhascker and Eesha Rebba would have been credited with a decent hit. However the remake brought down their spirited performances a little bit. But Sajeev should be commended for doing full justice for elevating the Telugu nativity in Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi and managing to entertain viewers with the remake. Considering all these aspects, Cinejosh goes with a 2.25 rating for Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi.
