I liked OMG for its satirical thunderbolt that puts organized religion and blind faith on trial, literally. 7.5/10

When an atheist shopkeeper sues God after an earthquake destroys his store, the film uses a sharp, witty legal framework to deliver its message. Paresh Rawal is phenomenal as the protagonist, and Akshay Kumar’s divine intervention adds commercial swagger.

While the film’s conclusion is undeniably over-simplistic and a tad one-sided in its philosophical battle, its courage to provoke thought is admirable. It’s intelligent comedy that succeeds by asking the audience to question their most basic beliefs.
