Oh My God (OMG) is an apt name for
the work of Umesh shukla. It tells us as a story of how fear and insecurities
make people to act foolishly.
Oh My God is adopted from Kanji Virudh (vs) Kanji a Gujarathi
play written by Bhavesh Mandalia and originally directed by Umesh shukla; has also made a great adaptation of theatrical play to the silver screen.
The main theme of the plot revolves around various religious
rituals that are generally followed, without rationale. The story
starts when Kanji (Paresh Rawal) suffers a huge loss because of a mild
earthquake (supposedly a God’s act!) and his insurance claim gets rejected
because of the clause that “Insurance company is not liable for the acts of
god”. Kanji who is an atheist feels deeply hurt by this and decides to sue God.
When no lawyer accepts his case, a retired lawyer Hanif quereshi helps him out
and Kanji sets out to fight his case for himself.
