OMG 2

OMG 2, one of the highly anticipated sequels of this year, has finally made its way into cinemas today. The movie encountered some hurdles prior to obtaining a censor certificate, but it has now been released nationwide.

The main cast, featuring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam, actively promoted the film over the past few days. The trailer and the music tracks from the album were met with a positive response, contributing to the film’s excitement. With the movie now being showcased in theatres, it’s receiving fantastic feedback from the audience, and this positive word-of-mouth is likely to translate into impressive box office earnings.

OMG 2 is a continuation of OMG – Oh My God!, a 2012 movie that cleverly criticized organized religion and starred Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, and Mithun Chakraborty. For the sequel, Rawal and Chakraborty, both former parliamentarians, are absent; only Kumar remains, alongside the bold Govind Namdev.

Unlike the first film which focused on religion, the new installment centers around sex education in schools. This shift in theme clarifies the filmmakers’ intention to secure a UA certificate. However, the censor board, using its discretion, mandated several alterations and assigned the movie an ‘A’ (Adult) rating. Additionally, it seems that Kumar’s character underwent changes, transitioning from Lord Shiva to a kind of ‘messenger’ of God (a different franchise with a similar name already features a convicted felon).

This movie is an eye opener with a great & beautiful msg for all of us. Storyline & acting by @TripathiiPankaj @akshaykumar & @yamigautam is worth watching.
A must-watch for all…

The bravest attempt by Akshay sir after Padman. The 15 minutes after the Second half may seem a little bit dragged and misincorporation of Sir’s role in the screenplay. But the rest of the movie is entertaining. And Climax is praiseworthy & movie hits the right chord.

The battle between a Bhakt vs Bhagwan Amazing Performance by all the Star Cast But Especially Pankaj Tripathi & Akshay Kumar, 4 out of 5.

It’s worth mentioning that the censor board has granted an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certification to the movie, with approximately 13 minutes of the film being edited out. Interestingly, according to a report, OMG 2 has obtained a 12A certification in the UAE. This particular certificate implies that children aged 12 and above would be permitted to view the film.
