The film OMG: Oh My God! is a satirical comedy-drama released in 2012. The story revolves around a successful and wealthy shopkeeper named Kanji Lalji Mehta, who is an atheist. When a powerful earthquake destroys his shop, Kanji tries to claim compensation from his insurance company claiming it as an "Act of God" but he is unsuccessful as his policy does not cover any natural disasters.
Feeling cheated and betrayed, Kanji decides to take legal action against God. He files a lawsuit against all the religious leaders and holy men of India, making them co-defendants in the case. In the courtroom drama that follows, Kanji exposes the hypocrisy and commercialization of religion, and questions the existence of God.
As the trial unfolds, Kanji becomes a national sensation, and people begin to support him and his beliefs. However, he also faces backlash and opposition from the religious leaders and their followers who consider his actions blasphemous.
The movie highlights the need for people to question and challenge blind faith and superstitions, and to embrace a more rational and logical approach towards religion. The film stars Paresh Rawal as Kanji and Akshay Kumar as God. It was a box-office success and received critical acclaim for its satirical commentary on contemporary religious beliefs and practices.
