The store of outspoken atheist Kanji Lalji Mehta (Paresh Rawal) is destroyed in an earthquake. The insurance declares it an "Act of God" and refuses to pay. Kanji decides to sue God, through His earthly spokespersons, to get the money owed. Surprisingly, Lord Krishna (Akshay Kumar) takes human form, and comes Kanji's aid.This somewhat controversial comedy-drama provides thought-provoking points about religion. The final two-fold message is positive, though. Firstly, that God is everywhere, and temples and idols are not necessary. Secondly, people should not fear God, but love Him as a friend.Rawal is fantastic in his role, both humorous and serious. Kumar's small but important part is played with gentleness and even godliness. Mithun Chakraborty played a minor character with perfection. The music is mainly incidental and background (with the exception of one item number) and some of it is quite beautiful. Overall, if one is willing to have religion examined in skeptical ways, this is a fine movie.

Firstly, I'd like to thank all those who didn't get offended by the skepticism showed in this movie because with people, you don't know what happens. Especially, in a country like India where people are so sensitive toward everything. Secondly, this movie is the pinnacle of sensibility. It shows how exactly people are manipulated in the name of God and how much they fear Him instead of loving Him. A middle class businessman and his battle against all those who have manipulated religion and its traditions and cultures according to their own will and above all God. The casting is perfect. Paresh Rawal proved it once again that there's no role in this entire world that cannot be played by him. Akshay Kumar looks perfect as Lord Krishna. I don't think anybody else could've played Krishna better.

His portrayal of a fraud 'saadhu' is spot on. In conclusion, Bollywood needs more movies like OMG instead of the crap that we see these days. delivery and the aura that he creates is commendable.

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!!

This movie takes straight on the issue that is supposedly above discussion, Religion. Despite having a powerful messages, the movie is hilarious with its sarcasm of superstition and blind faith. Also, it brings out a lot of oddity in Indian religious practices, flourishing spiritual Gurus and new deities every decade. Paresh Rawal portrays the role of an atheist in a distraught situation to perfection. Also the movie is balanced with only targeting odd religious practices. One of the guru and God is shown to be on protagonist's side (the assumed good side).It is good to see the Indian cinema has developed guts to make such a movie, a country where Da Vinci Code was banned, a must watch.
