This
film is about a common man, his aspirations, the dreams
and his needs. It is a story of the line of balance that
we choose to cross in attempt to pursue our ambitions.
Rajendra Dubey represents the youth of today, who want
to make it big in life through the right means. However,
little do we realize that a lot of things in life are
not in our control and the way we identify our
opportunities in those circumstances is what makes us
the people we are.
All of us have asked God for help at various moments in
our lives. What if God actually tried to help, but we
were oblivious to his presence?
Rajendra has many making
schemes that no one seems interested in and thus
continues to fall in his various attempts. His wife
Suman pleads to God to help her husband.
What
follows is a series of hilarious encounters where God
(played in human form by Sourabh Shukla) tries to help
Rajendra become successful but is constantly frustrated
as Rajendra fails to recognise the opportunities.
God in this film is sweet, funny and lovable in this
human form. At times, dressed in formal suits, eats
chocolates, chips and pizzas to get rid of his
depression. He even gets bored of this life which he has
created.

Rajendra (Vinay
Pathak) a simple salesman with big dreams, a have core
Dhirubhai Ambani fan, comes from a middle class family who
want to make it big in life but through ethical ways. He
has a sweet, simple housewife, leads a good life, yet he
overlooks all that he's got in life due to his
over-ambitious nature. He is straightforward and focussed,
has a plan for almost everything in life.. even for having
kids. He appears eccentric to those around him, but his
innocence and sweetness makes him lovable.
Suman (Divya Dutta) is Rajendra's patient and a loving
wife, who stands by her husband at all times. She is happy
and satisfied with her life as she harbours no big dreams.
Its 5 years of their marriage, and she always tries to
convince Rajendra to have kids.
God also gets touch and tricky with men to teach them the
lesson of life. Inspite of being the Almighty with
extraordinary powers, he is sometimes helpless and
confused with normal human beings. But finally, he proves
his smartness and intelligence making everyone say - "Oh
My God!"
First-time director Sourabh Srivastav tells a funny,
touching story of a simple man who, with a little help
from God, needs to come to terms with his big dreams and
find balance in his life.
Vinay Pathak plays his part with sincerity; as he has done
in recent guy-next-door kind of roles. Sourabh Shukla
attempts to bring in some comic relief as the God, a bit
type cast in such comedy situations. Divya Dutta shines in
this film as Dubey’s supportive wife.
The ensemble cast includes Harsh Chhaya, Gaurav Gera and
Pubali Sanyal. An average fare.
