Through such individualistic ideologies, Oh My God goes beyond the cinematic boundaries of being merely an entertainment medium and has the potential to make one reconsider their pious practices and spiritual philosophies. And more importantly it calls for devotion that isnвЂ™t вЂGod-fearingвЂ™ but вЂGod-lovingвЂ™. However, despite its sensitive take on devotion and, moreover, having a protagonist who never believes in God, the film strongly approves of the Almighty and in fact makes his presence felt in human form (through AkshayвЂ™s character).It illustrates of God as someone who wonвЂ™t solve your problems but surely guide you through them. The film rightly points out how devotees, without a second thought, would make divine donations but hardly even consider charity for the needy. In a steadfast devout nation, this film has the nerve to openly point out how religious traditions like pouring milk on idols in temples or offering sheets of flowers in mosques or burning candles outside churches are merely moneymaking gimmicks, devised in the name of God. Thereby religious heads are brought under prosecution and, through them, their blind followers are largely targeted.

Rather humans and their inherent greed are largely shown to be the bone of contention here. The smartness that writer-director Umesh Shukla brings to the narrative is that he never blames God for any misdoings (that would be blasphemous). He just loathes the blatant business, built out of blind faith, which bolsters his disbelief. What makes KanjibhaiвЂ™s character original and interesting is the fact that his atheism isnвЂ™t triggered from some past angst with God (ala Amitabh Bachchan in Deewaar) nor by any scientific philosophies. Kanjibhai self-contests his case, presenting such interesting arguments that the high court judge (like the viewer), who is initially disapproving of the lawsuit, acknowledges his line of reasoning and green-lights the trial. But this very implausibility of the plot, when presented convincingly, turns to be the filmвЂ™s highlight.

What seems like a preposterous petition turns into a complicated courtroom drama and subsequently Lord Krishna (Akshay Kumar) himself takes human form and comes down to earth to guide Kanjibhai in his dispute against divinity.ДЄt the outset, Oh My God might seem like a ludicrous and fanciful fable. Since God has no address, he summons religious leaders (headed by Mithun Chakravarthy), arguing that they represent God on earth and thereby should compensate his loss. An outraged Kanjibhai moves the court of law asking compensation from God. When his shop is shattered in an earthquake, the insurance company rejects his claim on grounds that the incident was an act of God вЂ“ something that isnвЂ™t covered within their policy.

Kanjibhai (Paresh Rawal) makes a living out of selling idols of God but is himself a staunch disbeliever. Oh My God shouldnвЂ™t be mistaken to be a film that endorses atheism. In a country like India that is widely God-fearing, a film like OMG Oh My God, that fearlessly and unwaveringly raises fingers at the commonplace commercialization of religious customs, is certainly an audacious attempt. For вЂGodвЂ™s sakeвЂ™, you canвЂ™t afford to miss this one! This is a film that not only entertains and inspires but also enlightens. IDiva verdict: Oh My God is a moral science lesson that doesnвЂ™t sound preachy. What's Not: The film does revolve around hard-hitting issues, but we are not complaining! Oh My God fearlessly and unwaveringly raises fingers at the commonplace commercialization of religious customs, is certainly an audacious attempt. What's Hot: Paresh Rawal is amongst the few immensely talented character actors who can carry an entire film on their shoulders.
