We have always been taught that God is our father always fear God. But this movie say God is our best friend so love the Almighty. Excellent movie with hilarious content.

Movie is story of small Gujarati businessman Kanji Bhai superbly played by Paresh who doesn't believe in God. His life take a big turn when he lost everything in earth quake, Insurance company refuses to claim saying this is act of God and can't be claimed.Thus he decided to take big decision and movie is all about that decision.

Akshay played role of modern God. If you are thinking that why God is modern go watch a movie you will find a meaningful reason behind it. Akshay is excellent too.

Movie criticizes the big business that is based on selling God or we can say playing with emotion of people.

God is not in stones or temples. God is in emotions,humans. Do not donate big amount to temples just help the poor and God will be happy. Don't waste your time searching god here and there instead search in humanity. Be fearless and love the God.

Must watch

First time i thought its a copy of Bruce almighty or something, but no, its a whole different concept. I think everyone should watch this movie once.

This movie tells a lot of reality which we never know or never wanted to know.

But I think Umesh has done a very good job. Even Paresh Rawal has done a great job.

This movie is worth watch in theaters. Teaches lots of stuff, depends on you what to take or not.

Guys don't think anything, just go and watch.

I ll suggest tell your parents to watch this movie as well.

I don't want to criticize other movies which copies the directions or screens from Hollywood, but this i feel, everything is original.

Yes some of the time you will feel, "aisa real life me kabhi nahi hota". but guys this is movie, and you can learn and take what you want.

Oh 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

This movie draws our attention towards the hypocrisy of Indian Sadhus and the invisible existing God.

You can hate this movie you can love this movie but you cannot be indifferent. One of the master pieces of Paresh Rawal but hats off to the writer the Australian one! Its a unique take on faith and how people deal with it but majority of the credit should be give to the people who thought of it. Yet there is some credit to the writers adapting it to Indian audience. I watched the Australian version after this one!

I have seen this movie many time, what a film, I was pretty much speechless after i exited the theater. The message this film gives is that god is in every human being, then why do we go looking for him in mandhirs, churches, mosaics, gurdwaras, etc Why has god and religion become a business, why do we spends millions and billions of dollars at religious places as people when we can take that same money and help the poor, won't god be more happy then.This Film give us a beautiful massage.

This and many more messages are conveyed in this movie through characters, like Kanji Bhai, Krishna, etc Another really plus point about the film is that it is told in a light hearted way, in a comedy, the film isn't very preachy and still conveys its beautiful and real message.

Through the movie - Oh My God, its director (also the writer) Umesh Shukla has conveyed a beautiful message that we should believe in God but not in blind superstitions The exploitation of innocent people by persons who claim themselves to be God-men is depicted in a beautiful way. The highlight of the film is that there is a perfect mix of comedy and philosophy and it completely involves each and every one in the movie till the end.

The story revolves around a middle class atheist shopkeeper - Kanji Lalji Mehta (played by Paresh Rawal) who loses his shop owing to an earthquake. Kanji then goes to claim his insurance but the insurance agents reject his claim saying that his shop was destroyed in an earthquake which is supposed to be 'Act of God' and hence he can't claim the insurance. Being deprived of his income and running out of options, Kanji finally files a lawsuit against God and demands the religious heads who acquire money in the name of God to bear his insurance loss. Legal notices are sent to the insurance company as well as the religious heads and the trio of persons who claim themselves to be God men - Siddheswar Maharaj (played by Govind Namadeo), Gopi Maiyya (played by Poonam Jhawer) and Leeladhar Swamy (played by Mithun Chakraborty) get involved in the story and this lawsuit of God becomes an issue of national interest. The religious heads try to kill Kanji and thats where Lord Krishna(played by Akshay Kumar) comes to his rescue and the remaining movie is a depiction of how He helps Kanji in his legal fight with the religious heads and the message He wants to convey the entire world through Kanji. Totally, the movie re-emphasizes the old proverb - 'GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES' through a plot filled with humour and sarcasm.

Coming to the performance of the actors, it was an outstanding performance from Paresh Rawal in the lead role and Mithun Chakraborty was also equally good in the negative role. As usual, Akshay Kumar was impressive with his role as a modern God. Other aspects such as dialogues, screenplay and background music were also good and I definitely say that it is a must watch movie for each and everyone. Finally, I would say that in this era where nine out of ten films are purely commercial, it is our duty to encourage these kind of movies which would boost the confidence of directors like Umesh Shukla and help them to come up with more innovative movies in the future which would be a blessing for Bollywood.

OMG...what an year it is turning out to be for Bollywood!! 2 extreme cinemas, both ruling the same roost bole to 1 myan me 2 talvarein! One belongs to the likes of masses, masala entertainers (Rowdy Rathore, Ek tha Tiger) while others that matter the grey matter (a full list of them that begun with PST and Kahani and now unstopped at OMG!! Coming to OMG now..rather than writing a full review, i will mention its gist just like the acronym it is:

1. Another non-chocolaty main protagonist - Paresh Kanjilal Rawal. He is known for putting life in whatever character he dones and this one is no different.

2. "Religion is the opium of masses" and more so in a diverse nation like ours where the opium comes in different flavours. Making an eye- opener on such a sensitive topic is not as easy as it seems to be. It might appear preachy in patches but nevertheless its like a lecture we get from our parents after we err; and one leaves the cinema-hall with the same guilt. The movie tends to redefine 'God' and 'Religion'.

3. Akshay as God might not sound like a believable bet but as the film progresses and by the time it ends one starts looking beyond AK to feel the real Krishna.

4. Mithunda (doning looks and mannerisms of Sri Sri) is the surprise package of the movie. His performance as the diplomatic yet feminish religious guru was seriously - kya baat..kya baat...kya baat!!! Govind Namdev tickled through his loudness.

5. Other supporting cast seems to be an ensemble of deja-vu characters from TV ads, nevertheless, endearing and non-starry.

6. Music is well woven in the movie. Though some people find Go Govinda out of place, I feel, it does add some pace and rhythm to the story. A couple of others like "Main to nahin" and "Hare Rama" move intertwined with the movie.

In all, OMG is a brave attempt from Hindi Film Industry targeting to make people understand real meaning of God, making a call to shun all material and ritual practices and try to find God out of statues. GO FOR IT GUYS!!

A man sues God because he thinks God is responsible for his loss. A gripping comic drama about the battle of a loner atheist for whom God is futile simply because according to him the way we happen to perceive God is ludicrous and especially because of the institutions, ashrams who swindle money in the very name of God.

This movie, in a way, keh-ke-leti's of all those babas, sadhus, saints, institutions that munch money from the innocent public unwavering with their faith, in name of god and questions the notion of donation, lavish physical gifts to temples, churchs, mosques. It very much appealed to me because I have always been the same kind of devotee who believes. OMG, also mocks the mass phenomena that takes the community by storm once an airy larger than life notion is shown about a particular person.

Not for once, this movie slows down, it is always a joy ride from start till end. Umesh Shukla deserves applaud for binding this movie so well given the explosive content he has carried out masterfully and the best dialogues, screenplay I have seen in Bollywood since a long time.

It's not often you get to see a movie that challenges your opinion, defies your perception and literally shakes your age-old, orthodoxian beliefs from the core.

On the acting part, let me admit, I was a bit sceptic because there was logic defying combination of Paresh-Akshay again.

But, Paresh Rawal is phenomenal in his portrayal as a Gujju businessman he single 'handily' carries the whole movie on his shoulders with ease. Easily the best role he'd done amongst his last ten movies. Akshay Kumar great to see him back with sense, though I thought he overdone his role a bit at few places. Govind Namdeo is terrific with his role as Siddheshwar baba.

Well, yes there are flaws in movie, like Paresh Rawal questions the unscrupulous ways of babas, swamis and in start he makes money by selling statues with fake proposition about their origin. But that's explicable given that God gets even with him ;)

Overall, a wonderful movie with a special memo to masses, God isn't anywhere…God is everywhere. 9/10

The idea and justification is perfect. Director Mr Umesh Shukla has done a memorable job. Screenplay by Umesh Shukla and Bhavesh Mandalia is very convincing. Dialogues are very logical as well as humorous. The item no by Mr.Prabhu Deva and Sonakshi Sinha adds spice to the film. Idea is very simple but making it convincing was a very tough job but they succeeded. Performance wise Paresh Rawal is ultimate and perfect at the level that you start believing him as Kanjibhai. Akshay Kumar is good. Mithun Da has done a very surprising character. He adds very minute mannerism to enhance the character. Music by Himesh Reshammia suits the mood of film. Simply it is the best example of Powerful message with the glossy wrapping of entertainment. Overall a must watch with family and children.

A heart warming light comedy having its own flavour of satire. Except for the camera work being abrupt at times, an entertaining movie without even a boring minute.

Of the regular fare that has been dished out in the past 4 months, I would rate this movie right at the top. Absolutely delightful performances from Gobind Namdeo and Mithunda.

The 2nd best I would consider Akshay, in the role of Krishna - though a marginally longer screen time and a few more antics would be welcome. Of course, this effort washes away the ill will and the mental torture endured while watching JOKER.

And of course, the cherry on the icing was Paresh Rawal in the role of Kanjibhai. Its been quite a while he has had a chance to top up Baburao Ganpatrao Aapte's character from Hera Pheri. Hats off to him!!

Go enjoy this movie on the weekend with family and kids (I know my kids loved the movie).

Just saw this movie. and i am shocked, after watching the whole movie i realize that there is no actress in movie. And believe my it is not required. The cinema in India is changing. We should accept it with open heart and arms.

Story is awesome. Paresh rawal, he gives the life to the movie. A businessman who never believes in god, blames god for his lose. And drag the GOD in the court. The argument in the court is truth. The bitter truth of religion and the marketing of god. Paresh rawal reveals everything about business of religion. Our society should accept this type of movies. Cause this type of movies can improve the society of India.

Please people go for this movie. Change your mind, change your taste. This movie deserves 10 star. And really, at least, public attention.

I have been hearing a lot about this film, especially after watching PK. There are parallels with that film, in wanting to understand the faith in God, and how faith can be manipulated in the worst ways. This movie was done so well. The story, the acting, everything was top-notch.

There are some very intelligent and witty dialog and moments in the movie. The acting- Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty, were all good. I especially liked Paresh Rawal's endearing and angry turn as an atheist who sues God. The story was quite interesting and kept me glued till the end. It made me laugh, made me cry, and made me question a lot of things. This was wonderful!

I just love these types of movies. As an Atheist I am always against these religious fools and their behaviors. There is No God, Not at all. Religion is the biggest tool and business for this world's most businessmen and governments. Just Research on your own. These types of movies will change our societies thinking, transform peoples attitude from extremists into Human.

A Must Watch Recommended Movie. Watch and Let others know!

Simply put, this movie is one of the best contributions to Indian Cinema & to Indian Society. But sadly, I'm afraid that is all it will ever be. Brilliant acting performances, thoughtful screenplay & direction and overall just a thorough entertainer. This movie has the potential to change narratives, shape behaviours and contribute so much to society. I just wish such movies could disseminate deeper into the Indian conscience. Hopefully, the generation that is most affected & motivated by it would do something when it's their turn. Until then, keep recommending this movie to others!

This movie was ahead of its time.... Beautiful performances by star cast brilliant direction and story make this movie masterpiece...

Being an atheist, i loved each and every part of the film except that they still portrayed that the god exists. But i understand that otherwise the so called religious people can take it offensive and can make the movie banned with their stupid enough thoughts and influence. obviously, the director might have thought of commercial success of the movie and so he had put his point through simple and non offensive story line for those people who can't take it. - Only reason giving it a 9/10 rather than 10/10.

But the movie is really awesome. Paresh Rawal was at his best in all those superb dialogues under the supervision of Umesh Shukla, the director who has shown such a courage in taking such a fantastic but on a sensitive topic.

A must watch for everyone.

This film is OUTSTANDING! While it skewers Hindu priests, it takes on all religions for their mistreatment of people. Jesus said, "If you've done it unto the least of these, you've done it to me." True religion is taking care of others and not making the religious organization rich. A must watch.

The acting is superb and the story line would work so well in the US. I hope someone remakes this in the US. I think it would be a big hit. The character of Krishna is easily seen as representing Jesus. I think the crossover message is easy to see. I won't give away the plot but you will enjoy this movie.

The story has a very strong message which every person especially an Indian must see and understand . Blind faith and real devotion is different . This story may actually prove that majority of people who actually devote to God are not really following the true path of religion . Paresh Rawal gives an amazing performance supported by Akshay Kumar . This story is set in humor and drama will keep you interested till the end and will stay with you forever. It is one of the few good movie made in Bollywood . I recommend people to watch it. There are things in this that some people may have difference of opinion but those people must grow up a bit .

This movies is classic. No other movie based on religions will ever beat this one. The dialogues are superb at many places. Love each other. Love all religions. Love you all.

First of all 10/10 for the idea I don't care whether it is a copy or inspired or whatever but we as a society/nation really needs these film. Where facts are spoken with utmost confidence and exposing the dark truth which no one really wants to talk about I just want to commend everyone from actors,producers,writers everyone for making this film which is a big risk nowadays and Paresh Rawal he carried it on his bare shoulders brilliant performance. Every dialogue was just goosebumps for me because seeing what you truly believe portrayed on a large scale with perfect execution really melted my heart I can't believe this movie came out in 2012 and is even more valid 13 years later in 2025. Which is a true shame for us cause at the end the fear wins but hope persists that one day people will realise that the god doesn't live in some stone statues rather they live in us.

The movie doesn't train you to become atheist or one oppose god instead it asks our society some simple question which no one knows answers of

FAVOURITE CHARACTER :: can it be anyone else he has become my one of the favourite character period (Mr. Kanchi Lal Mehta) FAVOURITE MOMENT :: Many, Every line said by Kanchi lal in court just reached to my heart ,but at last the baba said that these people are not here because they believe in god instead they are here cause they fear god ,look out if anyone reaches my ashram the next day (just blunt truth and it hits you really hard)
