- Cinema as God: The film argues that movies are immortal. Om’s revenge succeeds not through violence but through filmmaking—lighting, editing, and a final “cut.”
- The Underdog’s Fantasy: OSO is a love letter to every extras and dreamer who believes that one day their name will appear in lights.
- Meta Humor: Farah Khan constantly breaks the fourth wall. Characters comment on “Bollywood logic,” and the film winks at its own absurdity (reincarnation, ghosts, coincidence) without apology.
