"Oh My God is not a complete comedy film. It is sarcasm on the society and its belief. The film will make you look into your soul. But if you are looking just for entertainment, this is not it. "

Story:

Oh My God is a story about an atheist, a disbeliever in God, Kanji Bhai. He goes one further by selling the faith of people for his profit. He has a n antique shop, where he buys old statues of God and sells them to people at higher price calling them antique and holly. He has no regret whatsoever.

Everything is going right for him until one day when his shop and the only shop in town get destroyed in an earthquake. He has an insurance of it but the company rejects the claim saying "no insurance for an act of God."

He finds himself helpless, and decides to sue God. He sends legal notices to the various high priests and heads of various religious sects. HE fights his own case in the court and convinces judge for a second hearing. This case gets high attention of media and people. Believers of God gather around court to teach Kanji a lesson.

At desperate times comes the entry of Krishna Vasudev Yadav. What happens next, does he win, do he start believing in God?

Review:

Paresh role as an atheist is superb, so are the acts of Mithun and Govind Namdeo. The story is strong, as one can understand it is from a famous Gujrati play. The story has no weak point nor is their any stretch.

Paresh is genius and has shown various times that he can adapt to any role. Akshay in the cameo and as a modern Lord Krishna is good. Sonakshi item number is superb.

If you are looking for a film with genuine story and are confused about faith and God, go watch Oh My God.
