The store of outspoken atheist Kanji Lalji Mehta (Paresh Rawal) is destroyed in an earthquake. The insurance declares it an "Act of God" and refuses to pay. Kanji decides to sue God, through His earthly spokespersons, to get the money owed. Surprisingly, Lord Krishna (Akshay Kumar) takes human form, and comes Kanji's aid. This somewhat controversial comedy-drama provides thought-provoking points about religion. The final two-fold message is positive, though. Firstly, that God is everywhere, and temples and idols are not necessary. Secondly, people should not fear God, but love Him as a friend. Rawal is fantastic in his role, both humorous and serious. Kumar's small but important part is played with gentleness and even godliness. Mithun Chakraborty played a minor character with perfection. The music is mainly incidental and background (with the exception of one item number) and some of it is quite beautiful. Overall, if one is willing to have religion examined in skeptical ways, this is a fine movie.

Probably the best movie of that year. Superb new plot,amazing acting, dialogues everything. Message was loud and clear and they delivered in the most hillarious and subtle way possible. It inspired another bwood movie PK, it did earn more than OMG but couldnt touch the standards set by OMG. Kudos to the whole team. Has been remade in other langs too. Much better than every 200 crore movie.

Themes of the movie is not only unique but it is an eye opener formany of our intellectual those who allow misfortune to be exploited calling it act of God perils which is misleading and misguiding people from ages. Thanks to sriAkshay kumerji for his bold steps who proved not only his concern for the masses but showed his extra ordinary power to deal with social evil. K.k.dutta. Gawahati.
