OMG 2 takes a bold step into the realm of societal norms, religion, and morality, delivering a gripping courtroom comedy that addresses a sensitive yet crucial topic. A spiritual sequel to OMG – Oh My God! (2012), this film, directed by Amit Rai, fearlessly challenges the status quo while upholding the sanctity of religion, dignity, and Indian family values.
 
The story revolves around Kanti Sharan Mudgal (Pankaj Tripathi), an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, who is compelled to question his beliefs when a video of his son engaging in a private act goes viral, leading to the son's expulsion from school. Distraught by his son's humiliation and societal judgment, Kanti decides to sue the school, asserting the need for sex education and the right to information for students.
 
Amit Rai's clever and crisp screenplay, coupled with a talented ensemble cast, elevates OMG 2 into a league of its own. The courtroom drama, with Pavan Malhotra as the delightful Judge Purushottam Nagar, is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Rai doesn't shy away from challenging parental flaws and societal taboos surrounding sex education and open conversations on sexuality.
 
The film's narrative courageously explores the unspoken distance between desi parents and their children, addressing the discomfort associated with discussions on sexuality and reproductive health. It questions societal norms, highlighting the importance of understanding and embracing such conversations within families and schools.
 
OMG 2 doesn't get preachy or sluggish despite its 2 hours, 36 minutes runtime. The first half is particularly gripping, setting the stage for a unique courtroom battle. Akshay Kumar, in a larger role compared to the previous film, plays the messenger of God, bringing his star power to the narrative. Pankaj Tripathi delivers an excellent performance as a conflicted father torn between guilt and anger.
 
The film's attempt to project Yami Gautam as a menacing lawyer, though sincere, falls short in execution. The ensemble cast, including Govind Namdev, Arun Govil, and Brijendra Kala, contributes to the film's overall impact.
 
OMG 2 is not just a sequel; it's a daring and relevant social commentary delivered with humor and flair. The film entertains, informs, and initiates a dialogue on subjects often considered taboo. Rai's language is desi, his voice is progressive, and the film succeeds in beginning a conversation that is long overdue. Take your family along for an interesting blend of social commentary and humor that doesn't require leaving your brain behind.
