Sequel to the 2012 hit OMG – Oh My God!, OMG 2 is a satirical comedy-drama film, featuring actor Akshay Kumar in an extended cameo. The film crossed the Rs 100 crore gross mark globally on Wednesday. The total domestic collection of the film now stands at around Rs 80 crore. Although, the film lags behind in race with Gadar 2, which is anticipated to soon cross Rs 300 crore mark, the consistent upward trend in its earnings underscores the widespread appeal, making it a significant player in the current cinematic landscape.
The reasons for OMG 2 falling behind Gadar 2 are plenty. Receiving an A rating from the Central Board of Film Certification has also played a part in it as it restricted family audiences from visiting the theatres to watch the movie. Despite the odds, the movie’s numbers are encouraging, keeping in mind the mature theme. The movie’s engaging storyline and stellar performances seem to be resonating well with the audience, and it’s anticipated to maintain its momentum in the coming days.
‘OMG 2’ follows the journey of Akshay Kumar’s character, who portrays a messenger of Lord Shiva, as he embarks on a mission to address contemporary societal issues. The film delves into the realm of sexual education in Indian schools, using humour and satire to highlight the importance of addressing this topic openly. As he navigates through various challenges and misconceptions, the protagonist aims to enlighten and transform people’s perspectives. With a blend of entertainment and thought-provoking content, ‘OMG 2’ explores how ancient wisdom can be applied to modern-day situations, all while delivering a meaningful message.
‘OMG 2’ features a talented ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar in the lead role as the messenger of Lord Shiva. Pankaj Tripathi brings his exceptional acting prowess to the film, adding depth to his character. Yami Gautam’s presence adds charm and relevance, and Arun Govil, renowned for his role in Ramayan, also graces the screen. Together, these actors contribute to the film’s dynamic and engaging performances, enriching the narrative with their distinct talents.
