Oh My God : Bollywood Music and Movie Review

Oh My God! Low Budget Comedy

A simple film having its own plus and minuses can describe ‘Oh My God’ the best. Directed by debutant, Sourabh Shrivastava, the film narrates a simple story and reminds the audience of the hilarious comedies of 70s and 80s. The movie depicts the flair of a comedy interwoven with interesting and simple sequences that make it a descriptive film. It may not have tremendous cast, gleaming outfits and extraordinary sets, but has got the heart in the right place. Being the first film of the director, Oh My God! has more aces as compared to the weakness and deficiencies associated with it.

The film revolves around an ordinary sales man Rajendra (Vinay Pathak) and his simple wife Suman (Diya Datta). Rajendra aims to earn his bread by ethical means and his wife Suman always pray for the success of her husband. However, being a simple man at heart Rajendra could not meet both end meet just with the honest salesmanship. No money making scheme work for him, as he continuously fails in all of his steps to earn something for his life. His wife pleads to God and there comes the most comical part of the film where God (Saurabh Shukla) himself encounters with Rajendra providing him with numerous opportunities to earn.

Just shot in 19 days, Oh My God! presents the complete touch and glare of an accomplished movie. There is no such depiction that the movie is accomplished in haste, as each actor fits best to his character and completely justifies the scenes and situation shot at him. All the sequences are well shot and organized. The second half of the movie is well conceived and runs at the better pace as compared to the first half.

The major highlight of the film is Vinay Pathak, as the whole film is shouldered on him. Another nice aspect of the film is its background score, for which full marks must be given to the music director. Overall, Oh My God! is a low budget comedy with immense talent of Vinay Pathak strongly supported by Saurabh Shukla and Divya Datta.
