Om Shanti Oshana is all about a love story which doesn't have any routine gimmicks. Debutant Jude Anthony Joseph's Om Shanti Oshana  is a love tale which revolves around a teen girl.

In many movies, we've seen the hero following the heroine to impress her. Here there is a difference. This time , it's girl who is choosing the man. Pooja Mathew ( Nazriya) is a naughty school girl. Her best friends include a flirt Neethu ( Akshaya ) & Dona. She is the daughter of Mathew Davis( Renji Panicker) & Annie. 

She goes to visit her aunt Rachel often. One day on a visit to Rachel Aunt, she learns the positives of  love marriage and goes to search an eligible man for her. She at firsts looks at a good looking guy at her school & later she finds another guy named Giri (Nivin Pauly) one day. Giri take part in farming & social activities even though he is a graduate. She is impressed with Giri's nature & she decides that Giri is her man.

She expresses her love to Giri on his birthday but Giri rejects it telling  that she is a small girl.He asks her to concentrate in her studies. Disappointed Pooja returns back.  Later she concentrates in her studies & after completion of school studies she get through the entrance examination. She gets admission in Calicut Medical College. She goes to Giri's house to tell him that she's going for her studies. She hears from his mother that he had already left to Shaolin Temple in China to learn Kung-fu. She again being disappointed , goes to her college. She gets into the company of the young & enthusiastic teacher Dr. Prasad Varkey (Vineeth Sreenivasan) . On her final year of studies , she again comes across Giri. Will Giri accept her love now..? This forms the rest of the plot.

Om Shanti Oshana is entertaining & engaging. It doesn't bore you & also it makes you laugh with some one-liners. Even though the film is said from the female side , it has some usual stuff in it & it is a bit predictable.

Performance

Nazriya gave a good performance as Pooja with some decent performance & good expression. Nivin Pauly as Giri was equally good. Aju Vargheese who played Pooja's cousin was good & successful in making you laugh.Rest of the cast including Vineeth Sreenivasan , Lal Jose, Renji Panicker have done justice to their roles.

Music

Music by Shaan Rahman was interesting are placed in suitable positions. Background score of the film dwells with its mood & it's energizing too.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography by Vinod Illampally was also good even though it wasn't the best.

Direction & Screenplay

Director Jude Anthony Joseph  has tried to give out a film that is good & worth watching. Screenplay was co-written by Midhun Manuel Thomas.  The screen play was also good.

Verdict :- Om Shanti Oshana is a Watchable Average Entertainer that has some good jokes & performances.

Rating:- 3/5
