This movie I played as casual watch; but while watching it made me to feel worthy of the movie.
Movie starts with a brahmin family man, how he lives in the society; and all of sudden he realized that he is an Islamic person by birth and grown as Brahmin. Movie shows that he tried to see his father and how he faces all the problems; at the end, he met his father and he pulled out the back ground plot of a swami ji and family unites again, and thus movie gets over.
I enjoyed the Paresh Rawal acts, he did it very well. His humorous speech and his facial expressions are awesome throughout the movie and made me to watch twice. Some of the comedy scenes are awesome and scored 100% marks (especially he himself gets confused how to greet the hindu priest while seeing with the mixed thinking he is being an Muslim).
Please watch the movie and you will reveal the above said lines.
Thanks, Simply the Subbu !

The film is about a person raised as Hindu, who discovers he was born Muslim. Its always difficult to present a film, which deals with sensitive topic such as religion. Its remarkable that the film appears, very much justified in its approach. The story of main character swings as a pendulum to find a balance between both religion's, his family and quest to discover his biological father.
The film has a very good approach to the conclusion it wants to convey to audience. There are humorous factors to which a person can relate to, if not all of them. Various element's such as friendship and family values are presented well.
I would recommend this film to every fellow human.
rating: 7.5/10

one the best comedy movie this year paresh rawal awesome comedian and this movie is super you should watch 9/10 awesome superb great awlaaa paresh rawal fans if u like oh my god u like this movie i love comdey movies At the age of 55, a Hindu man discovers that he was born Muslim and adopted by a Hindu family.Religion and the extremism around it has been a favoured topic for many filmmakers in Bollywood. The latest to join the group is director Fuwad Khan whose film 'Dharam Sankat Mein' features Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah and Annu Kapoor in lead roles.
A tad similar to Rawal's 'OMG: Oh My God'. 'Dharam Sankat Mein' revolves around a Hindu man who goes through an identity crisis when he discovers he was adopted as a son in a Hindu family but was born in a Muslim family. The journey starts with finding his real father.
The film has already courted controversy due to its religious connotation.

"Dharam Sankat Main" is a combination of smart story, crafty direction, smooth dialoges and inspirational acting skills. Mr Paresh Rawal has once again touched the hearts of his fans with this extra-ordinarily staid, divisive and appealable performance. The movie is a continuation of sensitive cinema in India and marks the culmination of religious myths and beliefs. When at the age of 55, Paresh Rawal comes to know that he was a Muslim by birth, his agony, helplessness and distress is beyond control. He then decides to find his biological father with the help of his Muslim Neighbor Lawyer Friend (Anu Kapoor). During the search, Paresh comes across so many hurdles both domestically and religiously. When he finds about his father, he goes to visit him but the 'Molana' of the Orphanage(Where his father is living ) refuse to allow him to see his father being a 'Hindu'. The 'Molana' asks him to become "Muslim' first and then see his father as a condition. Perplexed by the situation, he decides to take help from his lawyer friend (who is a Muslim) to learn Islam. From here on starts a dual problem for him. His son is forcing him to go to 'Mundir' so that he can win the heart of her girlfriend orthodox Hindu father and the pinch to meet his father pushes him to adopt Muslim rituals and methods. During the hunt, he encounters a procession that is agitating against Muslims where he burns a 'Muslim Cap' to show his son his Hindu Image and this starts a wave of aggression against him by the Muslims. Ultimately, he ends up in a court where he admits that he is Muslim by birth and it is the 'Molana' of the Madrassa who is not allowing him to see his father because he is 'Hindu' and this caused him to learn Muslim rituals. The whole plot revolves around Paresh Rawal and he creates his persona throughout the movie through his comic timing and natural acting. Paresh Rawal 100% justifies his character and delivers his best. This film is another addition to his sublime acting career and a continuation of "Oh My God" extravaganza. A thumbs for the whole team and a salute to Mr Paresh Rawal Skills with a kiss to Anu Kapoor being so nice and hilarious in the short role!!!
An official remake of the 2010 British comedy film titled The Infidel, 'Dharam Sankat Mein' is a well-intentioned, honest film, but sadly, its not very entertaining. Reason? The half-baked Screenplay, which appeals only in bits.
'Dharam Sankat Mein' Synopsis: At the age of 55, a Hindu man discovers that he was born Muslim and adopted by a Hindu family. Chaos follows...
'Dharam Sankat Mein' has a terrific premise & to an extend, the film works. The narrative is nicely paced until its first-hour, where its protagonist gets into a series of unexpected events. But, the same can't be said about the preachy second-hour. All of a sudden, this light-comedy becomes a drama about the Hindu-Muslim conflict & the depiction of god-men in a bad taste, seems to be getting repetitive now. First OMG, then P.K & now 'Dharam Sankat Mein', have been primarily based on religion & god-men. The only difference between the previous 2 films, were, that they were extremely well-made, but 'Dharam Sankat Mein' falls short on expectations.
The Screenplay begins with skill & even the dialogue are clever, but the second-hour is strictly a no-no. Fuwad Khan's Direction is fair. Cinematography is standard. Editing is fine. The Songs, however, add nothing to the narrative.
Performance-Wise: Paresh Rawal can never be doubted. And although he has enacted a similar part in OMG before, the screen-legend enacts the central part with amazing ease. He's delightful all though as the man in question. Annu Kapoor, also, is in fantastic form. His scenes with Paresh, work very well. Naseeruddin Shah, as an exaggerated god-man, hams. His performance stands out like a sore thumb.
On the whole, 'Dharam Sankat Mein' is certainly made with noble intentions, but as a cinematic experience, its strictly okay!
