Thank God

I wasn't expecting much other than entertainment and a few laughs from the movie. Initially, the premise of the movie seems interesting but the execution just average. As the movie progress, the plot becomes interesting and the story shows some depth. By the end, the movie comes off as not great but definitely good. Performances are great on the part of Ajay and rakul, while Siddhartha's not so much. A couple of tracks are good and will make you groove to them. Considering other things, the screenplay is okayish, editing good and the use of vfx is not bad either. All in all, it's definitely worth one watch.

***Thank God Movie Review*** 3/5 ⭐

Directed by Indra Kumar starring Ajay Devgn Rakul Preet Siddharth P Malhotra in lead role.

An official remake of the Danish Film " Sorte Kugler"

Plot of The Movie...

Ayan Kapoor alias Siddharth is a well known real estate broker. Post demonetization, his empire started to fall and he became a huge debtor. In the process of his hustle bustle life to overcome his financial crisis, he met with an accident and when his eyes open he is with Chitragupta alias CG alias Ajay Devgn.

There he plays the game of life wherein time tells whether he will go back to planet earth or go to hell or heaven forever...

Analysis of the Movie

1) The plot which is taken by Indra Kumar, is a topic which is age old belief that as per the karma, a human will be going to heaven or hell. Here in a comic way, he executed the age old topic.

2) Writers Aakash Kaushik, Madhur Sharma had just refined this concept as per the modern way wherein Chitragupta will be seen in a black blazer with a salt and pepper beard look. A game show, giving the contestant a chance to redeem their sins.

3) The subplot through the form of game show, a sizzling item dance of Nora Fatehi leads the way to the main plot wherein at the end, how the changes happens in Ayan's life.

4) Coming to the performance, Siddharth Malhotra had bringed up the character of Ayan who is self centred, envy. A grey shade but many comic moments delivered

5) Ajay Devgn, I cannot able to witness some noteworthy performance except from his salt and pepper beard look.

6) Rakul had done a good job.

7) Music was ok

8) Aseem Bajaj cinematography was good enough to watch it on big screen.

9) Vfx at unnecessary places.

Overall, its just reminds me of the Kal ho na Ho title song " Har ghadi badal rahi hein roop zindagi, chav hein kahhi hai dhoop zindagi, har pal yaha jee bhar jeeyo, jo hai sama , kal ho na ho "

Thank God is a comedy which fails to deliver. The film despite being a comedy barely makes you laugh. In fact, it get can so boring at times that you just wish for the scene to end and another scene to come up. The audience expects Siddharth to get in the accident really quickly but it depends a little too much time to get to the accident scene. The audience just gets bored at this point.

Ajay Devgn is the only one who entertains you. Siddharth Malhotra tries but it doesn't work.

This film is the type of film which needs to give the audience a reason to stay and watch the whole film. Thank God does not do that though. The audience just gets bored after a while which isn't good.

If you are bored and have nothing to do, watch this film however I wouldn't recommend you to watch it expecting it to be great.

The concept of this movie has been used in several Indian movies over decades. A person is hanging between life and death,goes to afterlife / heaven / hell and is allowed to revisit earth or his former life. To this, another common concept of a bad person realizing the effect of his actions on others and therefore repenting and making good of all his mistakes is added.

Movies of this sort are comedies with emotional moments in between. Here, the lead actor who is present in all scenes lacks capacity to act in comic scenes. To add to our woes, the comedy scenes are not that good themselves. Generally when the hero does not know how to act in a comedy, a side character like Brahmanandam, Johnny Lever or Rajpal Yadav is added to entertain the movie viewers. Emotional scenes are okayish but they are also let down by the hero. More role should have been given to other actors like hero's mother and Kanwaljeet Singh. Replace Siddarth Malhotra with Old Govinda and imagine the result.

Not recommended.

Loved sid malhotra's acting.... Ajay devgan was as always good.... Movie is a family movie and entertaining... Everyone should watch it with family.... A family packed movie.... People will have fun watching it... Ajay devgan and sid malhotra combination was a bang.... 😌 Sid malhotra has improved a lot for sure.... After shershah this is a good movie...
