SUPERB MOVIE…..  Incomparable concept and impeccable script. Excels in every department
of movie making.

Inspired by a very famous Gujarati play “Kanji Virudh Kanji” this movie not only should open eyes, but the lessons of this movie should be learnt by heart. God is not about practicing religious faiths, not about idols or giving money for such things. He is all about having strong belief, spreading optimism and working towards welfare for all. EACH LINE and by saying so I mean LITERALLY each line has something to teach, especially to those who are blind with worshipping idols and following religious practices.

The story is about Kanji bhai, a Guajrati businessman who is challenged by a natural disaster considered as act of God for which he is denied an insurance claim. He sues God and his worshippers for the same and the democratic judicial system keeping God equal to humans accepts the case. Story keeps on getting interesting thereafter.

Hats off to the script and screenplay, that the viewers wont even feel like moving an inch from their seats through the movie. Direction was very good (not excellent though) and was well supported by precise editing.

The best part of this movie is the performance by lead actors. Paresh Rawal delivers his best as a frustrated businessman and Akshay Kumar is witty and smart as our very own God. They both manage to transfer the message of this movie by their expert delivery of dialogues and expressions. Also, Mithun Da was enjoyable as a religious leader trying to save his side.

My Rating – 4/5, superb concept and an eye opener. People, God doesn’t teach you to spend crores of money on worshiping him but to spend small goodwill for happiness to all.
