Oh my God

panini press wrote:Saw this Bollywood movie today with the wife's relations. Paresh Rawal turned in an excellent performance as a naastik of the Raavan-Hiranyakashipu-Pol Pot persuasion. The denouement has the naastik converting to fervent belief when god (Krishna Vaasudev Yadav, in the mortal form of Akshay Kumar) reveals himself to our protagonist. But when it comes to Bollywood, my expectations are low and I am a realist. So I thought the movie did a good job of exposing the antics of religious "godmen" of various stripes, and the contradictions inherent in organized religion.

Whenever you come across an indian movie that doesn't follow the beaten path , you can safely guess that it is based on some foreign movie.

The man who sued god.

where a tiger, yes sir, a tiger saves a woman from men in brown uniform
who were trying to kill her and the tiger drags the woman into a temple
for safety, i assume. my daughter went "that tiger looks like a dog in
camouflage"

so, my whole family is with the national integration theme. eat that!

PS: i am not sure how we can be getting Z cinema promotional offer for over two months now so i have a sneaking suspicion that hubz paid for it!
