'Oh My God' hasn't been seen by many & that's a shame, as this 2008 flick is actually nicely made. The performances are rich & the execution is simple, yet decent.
'Oh My God' Synopsis: An employee puts more time trying to get people to invest in a novel money-making scheme. Things turn upside down when God shows up...
'Oh My God' talks about human greed & how life should be led by being happy, rather than being greedy. The message is indeed good & the narrative remains interesting. It never gets preachy. The Screenplay works. Although, the first 30-minutes, when the story builds up, are a bit dull. Sourabh Shrivastava's Direction is simplistic. Cinematography is perfect. Editing is fair.
Performance-Wise: The Biggest Strength of 'Oh My God' are in its performances. Vinay Pathak is extraordinary as the common man, who wants to make it big in life with honesty.. He's real & affecting all through. Saurabh Shukla as God, is priceless. Rarely do we come across an actor as brave & uninhibited as Shukla. Divya Dutta is wonderful as Vinay's doting wife. Gaurav Gera, Harsh Chhaya & Mushtaq Khan are superb in cameos.
On the whole, 'Oh My God' deserves a watch.
