In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreThe 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*
... View MoreOh my God is a story about a person (Kanji Lalji Mehta) who loses his shop in an earthquake. The shop is located an area in Mumbai, known as chor bazaar. Kanji is a person, who even does not fear God and even puts God on ill usage, for his benefit. After disaster, Kanji lodges complaint against God as he does not get benefit of insurance due to act of God. The notice is sent to all bigger baba's. He first goes through a lot of resistance, but eventually people turn out in his favour. People from other religions also join him. Thus notice is sent to every religious head.Cinematography was awesome. Paresh as Kanji acted well. The build up of the movie and the execution was superb.It's a matter of great controversy that, whatever things people do like doing abhishek, lighting candles, chaddars, etc. Do they come out to be beneficial? The answer to this lies in the quest to understand what turns out to create a pleasant atmosphere in bigger picture. I mean no poverty, equal status to lives, peace of mind, respecting life, creating a better world. This can be achieved by investment of wealth in proper direction i.e for poor.Various religious heads need to understand the method that creates pleasant atmosphere from micro level to major only matters. If we put something in front of God, it should not go waste. Every bit of thing we keep in front of God should be utilized for good in some or other way. Eatables should be utilized for animals if not humans. There should not be any harm done to any form of life. Example Lead in kumkum has been killing animal life in water, which challenges the concept of respecting life. Things of this sort, should not happen. A movie highly recommended.I do kept pace with kanjilal at the ending scene, one of the instances that made me feel special.Rating: 9.5/10
... View MoreThere a lots of fun and emotions during the whole Movie and one major thing You wont get bored at all at the End ...This Movie actually pass the message that person should believe in helping other poor person rather than feeding a stone. First half of the film is filled with some good comedy sequences and second half will make you amazed with some heart touching and heart shaking scenes. Main USP of the film is its unique concept. The film ends with a noble message. Story is perfectly directed by Umesh Shukla and he deserve a big cheer.Oh My God is a must watch film for everyone because intelligent Kanjibhai and modern lord Krishna cant be missed.
... View MoreIt takes guts to create a movie like this one.This film has used humor in an extremely smart manner to deal with a with a very serious subject of Religion.I praise Bhavesh Mandalia & Umesh Shukla for their creativity with the story writing and the manner in which they kept the flow of the film very gripping. And of course one cant say enough about Paresh Rawal, he immerses himself into every character he plays and again in this film he acted his character beautifully.I highlight recommend this film to be watched by everyone, it will leave you loving your religion (regardless of who you believe in) even more.
