Moviesda takes you to the courtroom drama of “OMG 2,” the much-anticipated sequel to the 2012 hit film “OMG – Oh My God!” Akshay Kumar reprises his role as Kanth Shukla, a common man challenging the societal norms surrounding faith and superstition. This time, Kanth finds himself entangled in a new battle against a corrupt religious guru.
Moviesda commends the film’s courage in tackling sensitive social issues. Director Amit Rai skillfully weaves together humor, social commentary, and courtroom drama, sparking conversations about faith, blind belief, and the exploitation of religion. The film’s message of questioning and seeking truth resonates with audiences, making them think beyond established norms.
The performances in “OMG 2” are noteworthy. Akshay Kumar delivers a strong performance as the witty and persistent Kanth Shukla. Yami Gautam portrays a lawyer fighting for justice, adding depth and nuance to the narrative. Pankaj Tripathi shines in his supporting role, bringing balance and humor to the film.
However, Moviesda has to point out some shortcomings. While the first half is engaging, the second half falters slightly, relying on melodramatic elements and predictable courtroom sequences. Additionally, some might find the humor a bit repetitive compared to the original film.
Moviesda’s Verdict
“OMG 2” is a worthy successor to the original film, delivering a relevant social message with a blend of humor and drama. Akshay Kumar and the supporting cast deliver strong performances, keeping viewers engaged throughout the film. However, the narrative falters in the second half, and the humor might feel slightly repetitive. Overall, Moviesda recommends the film for its thought-provoking themes and engaging performances, but be prepared for some predictable moments.
