OMG Oh My God Movie Review
OMG Oh My God (Hindi)
Release Date:
September 28, 2012Based on the acclaimed Gujarati play, 'Kanji Virrudh Kanji' and Hindi play, 'Kishen v/s Kanhaiya'. The film is set in Kanji Bhai, an antique shopkeeper's life. Kanji Bhai begins to loose faith in God when a a slight tremor destroys only his shop in the entire city. The film revolves around his simple lifestyle and his refusal to accept God`s existence.
Rawal pulls it all together. He nails not just the quiet contempt many of us carry for the rituals of organised religion, but also the seething desperation of a middle-class man with nothing left to lose
Read moreEventually OMG Oh My God! dissipates into a lecture. The intentions are good, but the preaching is boring
Read moreOh My God never exploits its full potential. there’s much to enjoy here, including many of the witty dialogues, and particularly Paresh Rawal’s robust performance as the stubborn non-believer on a determined mission
Read moreA brave and absorbing blend of satire, fable and fantasy that brings our attention to the misuse and commercialisation of religion
Read moreGood stuff
Read moreOMG makes its point without fuss and without going over the top
Read moreThe film stops short of being a taut, edgy take on organized religion and instead becomes verbose and silly
Read moreThis is a film that not only entertains and inspires but also enlightens
Read moreFor a mainstream film that takes on such a massively sensitive subject as religion, and insists on being funny while making its arguments, OMG is a resounding success
Read moreFormulaic but funny and insightful
Read moreThe film’s premise is courageous no doubt, but its heart and sinews are rather weak. It seems to chicken out a tad too easily in the end
Read moreOMG conveys a serious message this festive season - God is to be found in human beings. And, rather like Hindi films of an earlier age, it does so in a light and unusual way
Read moreAn honest film with a strong message which should be encouraged and seen especially for the brilliance of its script and the delightful acting of Paresh Rawal
Read moreA thought-provoking adaptation of a massively successful play
