OMG - Oh My God (Hindi)
Funny and interesting film which takes hard on Idol worship and (so called) God Men. The fantastic thing is the naration. Eventhough you could feel it to be preachy at places or you wont agree (depends on your belief on relegion) the naration holds you tight by feeding you with scenes in such a way that you dont bother to get into details. But yes, it provokes many debats, but I dont think the team really bothers about it. They have justified their view "Be free from fear. Have faith in Devine" through this film.

(Act of God Clause : I do not know whether this clause is imaginary or real. Could anyone confirm whether this clause is included in the insurance taken in India.)

An atheist, funny that he is into selling Hindu God Idols, curses God a lot. God reacts by putting his shop down thru earthquake. The insurance company does not pay him saying its "Act of God" where any destruction by God will not be covered. Angry Atheist takes God to court by sending legal notices to all the god men who say they are representatives of God. He pleads to the court that either the temple or the insurance company pays him with some logical points, including the points from holy books. Suprisingly God decends to help him thru his fight. The reason - some spiritual thoughts are shared by God - you will understand while watching the movie. Towards the ends, he becomes a victim of what he was fighting for - the God men make him GoD !

Paresh Rawal as an atheist, Mithun Chakraborthy as a God Man and Akshay Kumar as God => have excelled in their roles.

Plus :
Double Plus - Due credits are given to the original creators of the plot
- Akshay Kumar "Ghost Rider" type entry.
- Paresh Rawal
- Dialogues : Some good one
God Man : Here people dont LOVE god, they FEAR God
Paresh : Temples are malls now a days
God Man : We hold the COPYRIGHT on GOD (that was really funny)
GOD : (looking at idols on the street) I am everywhere except in the hearts of the people

Minus
- Too much shouting in the court
- Trying to justify an atheist point of view (depends on your beleif though)
- Make up, costumes & sets

A (very) good time pass.
