Review of OMG 2: Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar star in Amit Rai’s gripping thriller, which has a well-balanced social message and humorous elements.

The top three actors, Pankaj Tripathi, Yumi Gautam, and Akshay Kumar, are back there with a powerful message delivered in a humorous manner. They succeeded in reaching the hearts and minds of the audience. Paresh Rawal portrays an arrogant “naastik” (atheist) in the 2012 OMG with such swagger that poor Krishna Vasudev Yadav from Gokul is forced to descend to earth to show the former the folly of his ways. In doing so, the movie mocks caste and creed while taking potshots at ‘paakhandis’ from all religions who prey on the impressionable: a key character even mentions the Gita, the Bible, and the Quran in the same sentence. In other words, OMG, with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, fearlessly exposed widespread religious hypocrisies, and we all laughed ourselves silly even as the great atheist Kanji Lal Mehta came to believe in religion.

OMG 2 makes a real effort to bridge the communication gap that exists between Indian parents and their children when it comes to having a conversation about physical intimacy. The progressive outlook that the movie attempts to convey through its characters effectively reaches us, and with some perceptive lines, it makes an impression that lasts. I also appreciated that Rai didn’t include too many subplots and kept his attention on emphasizing the value of sex education.

Except for the storyline, Pankaj Tripathi is solely responsible for OMG 2, which he carries off-screen with ease. Despite the fact that Akshay Kumar provides capable support in his lengthy appearance, Tripathi is a pleasure to watch on film. It’s so sophisticated and masterfully executed, from every word he says to every action he makes, that it merits praise. His mastery of the language is unsurpassed, yet occasionally the dialogues in pure Hindi get a bit much to take in. However, things resume their original course as he attempts to interpret them into plainer Hindi.

Yami gives a solid performance as the scary defendant and maintains her composure in the courtroom moments. Akshay is simply amazing in his role as the divine messenger (he was originally going to play Lord Shiva, but the CBFC changed that, therefore his character was changed). He exudes a divine swag’ with those deadlocks, that godlike smile, and the harem trousers. Kumar performs a tandav in the pre-interval segment that depicts a Shivratri moment that is really wonderful and not to be missed. I admired how Kumar never once overshadowed Tripathi despite his star power and commanding screen presence; rather, he elevated his scenes and let Tripathi shine throughout.

The newest entry in the OMG franchise is a completely new tale, albeit sharing certain similarities with the premise of part one. For instance, the divine intervention that motivates a follower to defend his own rights, the courtroom setting, the hospital scene before to the climax, and the significance of books in helping the protagonist realise that all the answers are contained in the literature that has already been published hundreds of years ago. Its is a must watch movie with your family to break the barrier
