They
say
that
strange
are
the
ways
off
and
in
Bollywood.
This
couldn't
have
been
truer
than
in
the
case
of
the
recent
Manoj
Kumar
and
Farah
Khan
episode
over
the
latter's
blockbuster
hit
film
Om
Shanti
Om.
We
said
it's
'strange'
because
when
the
film
was
released,
Manoj
Kumar
was
really
upset
over
a
particular
scene
which
showed
a
spoof
of
him
and
his
mannerisms.
Immediately,
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Farah
Khan
extended
the
olive
branch
to
the
patriotic
superstar
and
the
film
went
on
to
create
history
in
terms
of
B-O
collections.
But,
as
things
were
looking
well
everywhere,
OSO
got
its
release
dates
for
satellite
viewing
which
had
retained
Manoj
Kumar's
scene,
reacting
to
which
Manoj
filed
a
case
against
the
makers
of
OSO
,
seeking
either
a
stay
on
the
satellite
screening
or
the
deletion
of
the
objectionable
scenes
in
the
Mumbai
Sessions
Court.
The
news
is
that
the
court
has
announced
its
verdict
in
favour
of
Manoj
Kumar.
The
court
ruled
that
the
film
cannot
be
shown
on
any
satellite
channel
without
the
deletion
of
the
objectionable
scenes.
Om
Shanti
Om
released
in
November
last
year
was
one
of
the
biggest
hits
of
2007.
