OMG2

OMG 2 Review : Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami come together for OMG 2, a sequel to the 2012 superhit “OMG! Oh My God” (2012). Being a remake, things became easy for OMG 1, but with OMG 2, it’s a big problem. OMG had a suitable theme as the protagonist was fighting that ‘G’, aka God, in the film. But in OMG 2, the protagonist is fighting the school, society, and himself. So basically, they just used the OMG brand to cover one of the gutsy and taboo stories, knowing that without a brand, it wouldn’t work. You have to be smart enough to understand what you are selling on the brand, and the OMG 2 makers failed to understand this basic fact. OMG 2 is anything gutsy, a pathbreaking attempt, or whatever you call it, but it’s not the brand “OMG” film at all. Sex education is mandatory and is not as taboo as the film suggests, but the problem is aligning it with the devotional angle of Lord Shiva. Like mentioned above, OMG was about fighting God, but here it’s more of his personal fight. Then why do you even need God’s substance in the first place? The writer is at fault; he had to be practical and sensible here, but unfortunately he is clueless.
