Review for the film "
Oh, My God"
Runtime:
2 Hours 10 Minutes
CAST & CREW
MORE CAST & CREW
Oh My God revolves around Kanji Lalji Mehta and his war against religion. Even though he is an atheist, he earns his livelihood by selling religious goods to overly religious people by reinforcing their superstitions and beliefs through cooked up stories. His shop is destroyed in an earthquake for which the insurance companies refuse to pay as it is an “act of God”. So he decides to take God to court. The case turns into a class action suit, and he invokes the ire of many Godmen who have been exploiting people’s superstitions and beliefs to make money. The story takes a fascinating turn when a man named Krishna Vasudeva Yadav arrives to help Kanji at the time when he had lost all hope. How the case progresses and how the whole process changes Kanji’s beliefs, and principles are what this movie is all about.

has been conceptualized brilliantly (cannot reveal any more about his character without spoiling the movie). The drama is on the higher end at many points, but that can be forgiven because the movie is on wholly engaging and provokes the moviegoer to think about a relevant issue.
STAR PERFORMANCES
Paresh Rawal steals the show as Kanji, and he carries this movie on his shoulders. His ability to play a character with shades of gray and yet make you root for him is incredible, and this movie is entirely his. Akshay Kumar does a decent job in his brief role and manages to stay true to his character.
