Throwback Tursday: Om Shanti Om

Comment image 20


Can you believe it!? It’s been 10 years since we started and suckers that we are for all things filmy and fashion cannot not revisit Om Shanti Om‘s ‘Deewangi’ song featuring just about every leading lady with some wearing Manish Malhotra’s classic sequin and georgette saris.

Here we are watching it again and there are so many moments that are making us go Whoa! Shilpa in her part-leopard (yep, you read that right) pink sari, Vidya in a dress (will that ever happen again?), and Rekha looking like she hasn’t aged a day since this song (and yet we’ve somehow aged 20 years)! Who else got the chills back then and still does now when Tabu and Kajol hit the screen?

Have fun re-visiting the fun song and do share your reactions now that you’re seeing it again. We’d love to hear from you!

  1. Gosh!! Just think about all the logistics behind shooting this song, must’ve been a chaos. All the ladies look their charming best and seeing Vidya in a dress and so fresh faced after so long. Ah the memories!!

  2. Love this! The close up of Shilpa’s waist in this song tho! I remember when I watched this movie for the first time, I was like, “Who in the world has a waist THAT toned?!” #goals

    • Yes.. so many yeses to that!
      I so much loved them for the very brief time they shared screen in Saathiya.
      It’s a shame no film maker ever made a film with them together. It would be so amazing if someone like R.Balki could make a movie with them in it.

  3. When I first watched this song, I never understood the hoopla about Rekha ji .. but now after years of following her and reading up on her and her films , I can really appreciate how well she has aged and kept up her personality in the public spotlight !! Massive respect !
    Coming to others , Urmila, Priyanka and Tabu look yum!! Preity, Karishma come close too..! But its Shilpa’s outfit that is kinda ugly..They must’ve chosen the outfit first and then given it to the one person who can make the audience divert their attention away from that monstrosity !;)

    • You are right dear that’s one strange and ugly saree but just to give you little insight it was custom made for Shilpa as all designers know her love for everything that has even slightest of leopard print on it. If you have been following her enough then you would notice this in lot of her dresses cushions of her home or even for her shoes for that matter…:-). Even in that Iconic song of her and Akshay (chura ke dil meraaa goriya chali…tannna na na na )…Hahhahahahha

  4. I will never get tired of staring at Shilpa’s body; she’s totally my girl crush and body inspiration. I just want that curvy waistline. Anyone remember when she performed at one of the IIFAs and she did that hip-shaking move for like a hundred counts or something? She’s so damn awesome. Love her.

  5. Can someone please take me back to that time? Like PLEASE. :( I can’t tell you how much i miss those times. Music evoked nostalgia this one! I feel like i have aged a thousand years although i just turned 30 something. Young enough, eh? :) Thank you for this post.

  6. Wow!!! Enjoyed watching the song thoroughly…loved each an everyones dress and the sarees were just too beautiful! I think Kajol’s was the best with the gota work. It seems like not much has changed in fashion since last 10 years or maybe their fashion was ahead of their time:)
