Rajendra Dubey (Pathak) is a simple salesman who has big dreams. Being an hardcore Dhiru Bhai Ambani fan, his biggest dream is to become like him but using ethical ways. He even carries with him brochures of a scheme that he believes will change his (and his investors’) fortunes forever. But the thing is there is simply no one who is interested in investing in it, except his boss (Harsh Chayya). Dubey’s sweet but frustrated wife Suman (Divya Dutta) begs before god to change their fortunes. God (Saurabh Shukla) obliges and thus begins a series of events where god tries his best to make Rajendra rich but with little success. As when Rajendra does finally get the one thing he’s been dreaming of, he has no idea of what to do. The rest of the film revolves around how Rajendra comes to terms with his obsession.
Finding one good reason to watch this film is real frustrating as what could have been an enjoyable comedy ends up being a sheer waste of time for various reasons. The concept appears okay for an one hour comedy show on television but blowing up for a big screen version makes it really silly and boring after a point of time. The actors, right from Vinay Pathak to Saurabh Shukla appear completely over the top. Divya Dutta appears wasted and has nothing much to do. Harsh Chhaya gets mysteriously disappeared in most of the parts. The jokes looked forced upon and naturally fall flat. Unnecessary elements (an item dance out of nowhere) make you cringe in your seat. If that is not enough, you are subjected to a topless hairy Saurabh Shukla!
Okay even if you decide to forgive all of this what about the technicalities? The film is a completely amateurish attempt at filmmaking. Imagine out of focus frames, pathetic camera angles and jump cut editing at its worst! No wonder the filmmakers hardly promoted the film. Perhaps they knew well their silliness would get exposed had they promoted it more and more people would have come in!
If you have to take a vengeance on someone then please subject him to Oh My God and pray to god that this film doesn’t come you way in any which way!
