Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The movie questions the whole idea of belief and religion in itself in its initial part. It then moves on to de-hyphenate superstitions and business done by certain agents (by inducing fear of God) from selfless, pure love of God. The movie conveys the message of (i) love of God rather than worshipping God for selfish reasons and fear. (ii) *non-existence* of an *INTERVENTIONIST God* but *existence of a GUIDING God*

Through the movie - Oh My God, its director (also the writer) Umesh Shukla has conveyed a beautiful message that we should believe in God but not in blind superstitions The exploitation of innocent people by persons who claim themselves to be God-men is depicted in a beautiful way. The highlight of the film is that there is a perfect mix of comedy and philosophy and it completely involves each and every one in the movie till the end.The story revolves around a middle class atheist shopkeeper - Kanji Lalji Mehta (played by Paresh Rawal) who loses his shop owing to an earthquake. Kanji then goes to claim his insurance but the insurance agents reject his claim saying that his shop was destroyed in an earthquake which is supposed to be 'Act of God' and hence he can't claim the insurance. Being deprived of his income and running out of options, Kanji finally files a lawsuit against God and demands the religious heads who acquire money in the name of God to bear his insurance loss. Legal notices are sent to the insurance company as well as the religious heads and the trio of persons who claim themselves to be God men - Siddheswar Maharaj (played by Govind Namadeo), Gopi Maiyya (played by Poonam Jhawer) and Leeladhar Swamy (played by Mithun Chakraborty) get involved in the story and this lawsuit of God becomes an issue of national interest. The religious heads try to kill Kanji and thats where Lord Krishna(played by Akshay Kumar) comes to his rescue and the remaining movie is a depiction of how He helps Kanji in his legal fight with the religious heads and the message He wants to convey the entire world through Kanji. Totally, the movie re-emphasizes the old proverb - 'GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES' through a plot filled with humour and sarcasm.Coming to the performance of the actors, it was an outstanding performance from Paresh Rawal in the lead role and Mithun Chakraborty was also equally good in the negative role. As usual, Akshay Kumar was impressive with his role as a modern God. Other aspects such as dialogues, screenplay and background music were also good and I definitely say that it is a must watch movie for each and everyone. Finally, I would say that in this era where nine out of ten films are purely commercial, it is our duty to encourage these kind of movies which would boost the confidence of directors like Umesh Shukla and help them to come up with more innovative movies in the future which would be a blessing for Bollywood.

Firstly, I'd like to thank all those who didn't get offended by the skepticism showed in this movie because with people, you don't know what happens. Especially, in a country like India where people are so sensitive toward everything. Secondly, this movie is the pinnacle of sensibility. It shows how exactly people are manipulated in the name of God and how much they fear Him instead of loving Him. A middle class businessman and his battle against all those who have manipulated religion and its traditions and cultures according to their own will and above all God. The casting is perfect. Paresh Rawal proved it once again that there's no role in this entire world that cannot be played by him. Akshay Kumar looks perfect as Lord Krishna. I don't think anybody else could've played Krishna better. His personality, dialog firstly, I'd like to thank all those who didn't get offended by the skepticism showed in this movie because with people, you don't know what happens.

His portrayal of a fraud 'saadhu' is spot on. In conclusion, Bollywood needs more movies like OMG instead of the crap that we see these days. delivery and the aura that he creates is commendable.

This movie takes straight on the issue that is supposedly above discussion, Religion. Despite having a powerful messages, the movie is hilarious with its sarcasm of superstition and blind faith. Also, it brings out a lot of oddity in Indian religious practices, flourishing spiritual Gurus and new deities every decade. Paresh Rawal portrays the role of an atheist in a distraught situation to perfection. Also the movie is balanced with only targeting odd religious practices. One of the guru and God is shown to be on protagonist's side (the assumed good side).It is good to see the Indian cinema has developed guts to make such a movie, a country where Da Vinci Code was banned, a must watch.
