OMG 2 Review: Akshay Kumar & Pankaj Tripathi Bring Mythology With Social Message
The Teaser for OMG 2 has been released and it has left fans with a lot to think about. The film, which is a sequel to the 2012 film Oh My God!, stars Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar. The teaser opens with Pankaj Tripathi's voiceover saying that God does not discriminate between his creations. This sets the tone for the film, which is about religion, faith, and culture.
The teaser then shows a young boy committing suicide by jumping in front of a train. This is followed by a shot of Akshay Kumar emerging from a pond in a temple. He is dressed as Lord Shiva and he appears to be protecting Pankaj Tripathi's character. The teaser does not reveal much about the plot of the film, but it does hint at some of the themes that will be explored. These include casteism, suicide, and mental health.

The background score is impressive. The chants of Har Har Mahadev blended with the tunes of a pungi make the teaser denser. Akshay's entry scene is a cinematic spectacle. He emerges from a pond within a temple's premise and flaunts his well-toned abs. His look is appealing and is apt for the character he is playing.

It seems that Pankaj Tripathi will be lending his impeccable comic timing to the film with Akshay. The staging of the drama in the teaser is fantastic. There's a shot where people are offering prayers to a Shiv Ling in a temple and in the very next frame, Akshay is seated under a water tap at a railway station.
OMG 2 seems to be the perfect family drama, just like the prequel. The trailer is expected to be released soon and the film will be released on August 11, 2023.
