Oh My God: 10 reasons why you should watch the film

New Delhi: Producer Akshay Kumar’s ‘Oh My God’ is based on a Gujrati play ‘Kanji Virrudh Kanji’. It has also taken elements from Paresh Rawal’s Hindi play ‘Krishna vs Kanhaiya’. The film is refreshing in its approach and has featured a new idea. However, this is not the only reason to watch the film.

1. Central idea: Kanji Bhai becomes a complete non-believer after a mishap. He decides to demand compensation from the god in order to run his family. Basically, he becomes a party in a court battle against the god. Even the court doesn’t know what to do with his claims.

2. Paresh Rawal: Though the film is based on his play, still he was needed to enact Kanji Bhai with all his innocence on screen. The actor does it effortlessly. He holds the entire film together without being overshadowed by the presence of a big star like Akshay.
