Life is bliss until one day Kanti Sharan Mudgal’s (Pankaj Tripathi) son Vivek is blamed for immoral conduct and expelled from school. Overwhelmed, Kanti plans to leave town until a divine intervention leads him to seek justice by taking those responsible to court.
How can everybody
watch child pornography and not face the consequences of it? Why is Akshay
Kumar in the film since his role had no significance in the film? are questions
that tend to plague the viewer. The scene in which the little girl tells her
dad how her uncle sexually molests her is so poorly directed and handled. The
pacing is so sluggish it makes a 156-minute film feel like 190 minutes. It is
pretty evident that the filmmakers tried hard not to offend anyone with how they
addressed the topic, thus making the attempt at addressing such an important
issue seem childish. There shouldn’t have been any humour in the film. It
could’ve worked better as a drama than as a comedy-drama.
People
screaming “Har Har Mahadev” in the theatres during the screening seems totally
idiotic at first but then you realise that the only reason this film will run
is because of the religious marketing. The film’s plus points are the
subplot of the kid getting depressed due to the humiliation and Pankaj Tripathi
and Yami Gautam's performance
OMG
2 is a step towards better films on sex education in India. Hopefully, filmmakers will get more clarity on how to handle this sensitive topic.
