Review of OMG 2

OMG 2 (2023)
6/10
Fits more in Jolly LLB series than OMG
10 November 2023
Take a relevant and much-needed storyline for the times and execute it with minimal consideration, leaning heavily on the prevalent Bollywood tool - Religion. Season it with dialogues that appear thought-provoking but are somewhat haphazardly written, and there you have OMG2.

Why does this lack logic? It's centered around the victim rather than the person responsible for the video. The perpetrator seems untouched and unaccountable. While it's true that the victim suffers the most in reality, a mere acknowledgment of the wrongdoer's role would have been appropriate. As for the courtroom proceedings, they seem far too comfortable for the protagonist, and the impact of the arguments is not worthy of the applause or the background music. More effort should have been devoted to crafting pivotal dialogues and refining the screenplay.

The religious aspect - Removing the notion of God saving or guiding his devotee would not significantly alter the movie. It's essentially a thought-provoking and motivational courtroom drama, and the role of God coming down element feels forced and unconvincing. Unlike the original OMG, Akshay's character lacks a clear purpose in the film, making it seem more suitable for the "Jolly LLB" series than a true sequel to OMG.
