OMG Oh My God

It's an interesting satirical take on the existence and meaning of God and how in the name of believing in Him, people actually believe in superstitions only. 
The story revolves around an athiest who sues God himself when he loses everything in an earthquake and how during his fight in the court to recover his money, he exposes godmen, challenges the blind faith of people in age 
old idiotic rituals, questions their belief in religion more than humanity and how he himself also ends up meeting God and changing his own perceptions. 
A film made with sincerity and right intentions, it makes you think about how each one of us is trapped in doing something or other in the name of pleasing God when actually the only thing needed to connect with Him is being a good human being, when instead of fearing God, the only thing needed is unconditional faith in Him. And it does all this in a light and comical way without ever being preachy and heavy. 
On the flip side, it drags a bit towards the end, climax is too filmy and dramatic and considering this sensitive and debatable issue, it could have been much more impactful in what it wanted to convey. 
In terms of performances, it's Paresh Rawal's show all the way with a soothing cameo by Akshay Kumar. 
Cinema Analyst's Take - Above average. Watch it and try to follow what it teaches.
