God Tussi Great Ho

God Tussi Great Ho.. the moment the movie was announced everyone knew that it was going to be a ripoff of Bruce Almighty. Bruce Almighty itself was no classic but just a light entertainer with a stunning performance by Jim Carrey. So, in this Hindi remake, the makers retain the concept and a few scenes from the original and then add the Indian touch to it ( with the typical ma-pitaji, behna and all those stuff) Let me tell you that most of the movie falls flat. But then there is one bright spot in the movie. And that is none other than our very own SALMAN KHAN. Sallu bhai is in terrific form in this movie and he is the only reason why you care to watch the movie even though you know that it will be taking the typical Bollywood route with songs coming out of nowhere and supporting characters trying hard to make you laugh. The music was actually a big letdown in this movie. You normally expect Salman movies to have good songs but then apart from "Tujhe Aksa Beach", no song really makes an impact. I just wish the director had put more humor and spent more on the Fx. this movie would have been a joy ride for one and all.

My final opinion is that if you are a Salman Khan fan, then go for this, else you are better off skipping this one.

When a writer turns director plans to make a movie. What do you expect? At least an original story if not a perfect direction. But Mr. Rumi Jaffery shamelessly copies Bruce Almighty, adds some idiotic sequences of his own, throws few songs and here's what we get- a horrible copy of Bruce almighty. To add to the shame quotient, director denies it being a copy.

If the director had blindly copied the almighty, the movie could have been at least watchable. The modified script has easily made this one of the worst flicks of this year. Less said about the star-cast, the better. Throw money on us, we'll do any crap you say. Come on Mr. Khan and Mr. Bachhan, You've achieved a lot in your career. At least pay attention to the scripts you choose.

If India had Razzie, this one would have been a sure winner.

WORST ACTING Starring Worst Actor Salman Khan Over Over Over Acting.

NOT A GOOD DIRECTION NOTHING GOOD IN THE MOVIE.

Don't watch this movie Mark my words You will regret it.

There's a saying "what god makes, men (humans) destroy" and this is what the message contains in this movie. The message in this movie is basically simple: we blame god for all our troubles.

At the end of the worse day of his life, Arun Prajapati, a simple man, who hosts TV shows but is not successful, looses his job even after a female colleague, who is very popular guarantees the boss that a new concept for a show hosted by Arun will not fail, is sacked. He blames god for all his troubles and god responds by giving him his powers.

Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Salman Khan, Anupam Kher, Rajpal Yadav, Dalip Tahil, Sohail Khan, while Satish Kasuhik makes a special appearance, the film is directed and written by Rumi Jaffery .

Salman Khan does go over the top at times and one gets the feeling that he is trying to copy Jim Carey in attempting to use facial expressions in some of the scenes and this just does not suit him. While Rajpal Yadav and Anupam Kher do go on to provide some good comedy side to it while Priyanka Chopra looks stunning as usual but she could have done a bit better. Lastly, what can be said about Amitabh? His performance is always good as it is in this one.

This is a good comedy with a good storyline which has been copied from the 2003 Hollywood movie, "Bruce Almighty". But never the less, the message that the film makers have tried to pass on to the audience is very clear – peace, love, unity, no killings of each other and not to destroy what god has created. What is also mentioned in this movie is pollution, which is destroying the world we live in.

Conclusion: A good movie to watch and one that can be watched with family and kids and one where one doesn't have to think whether this movie is senseless or not.

Most Americans don't watch Indian films. Fortunately, in recent years, however, more and more Indian films are becoming available here and the market is slowly growing. I have really enjoyed many Indian films and recommend them to my friends. That being said, I would sure hate for anyone not familiar with these films to accidentally start off by watching "God Tussi Great Ho" simply because they would incorrectly assume that Indian films are terrible. Why this rotten film is being released on DVD in the States is beyond me, as it's among the worst films I've seen from this great movie making nation.

So why did I hate the film so much? Well the director (if there really was one) showed absolutely no deftness at all and the actors often mug and act like they've never been in movies. Too much broad acting and silliness make this not only a bad movie but one that is actually painful to watch. If this wasn't bad enough, the jerks responsible for this (and I don't normally use the word 'jerks' but it is deserved) claimed initially that the film was NOT a remake of "Bruce Almighty" but a film they wrote and thought up themselves!! No. It's a case of stealing the plot of a Hollywood film and then pretending have no idea that the two films are similar!

Overall, a painfully bad film--and it's a shame because you could so easily do better.
