"God Tussi Great Ho" is a Bollywood comedy film directed by Rumi Jaffery and released in 2008. Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Priyanka Chopra, the movie is a remake of the Hollywood film "Bruce Almighty."
The story revolves around a young man named Arun (Salman Khan) who blames God for all his misfortunes. Frustrated with his life, Arun challenges God (Amitabh Bachchan) to take over his responsibilities and prove that he can do a better job. God accepts the challenge and gives Arun his powers for ten days.
While the concept of the film is intriguing, "God Tussi Great Ho" fails to deliver a fresh and engaging storyline. The plot follows a predictable path and lacks originality. The humor in the movie is hit or miss, with some jokes falling flat. The screenplay could have been tighter and the dialogues more polished to enhance the comedic elements.
The performances by the lead actors are decent. Amitabh Bachchan brings his signature charm and charisma to the role of God, delivering a solid performance. Salman Khan tries his best to bring humor to his character, but his performance feels somewhat repetitive and lacks depth. Priyanka Chopra, in a supporting role, manages to shine despite limited screen time.
The film's music is forgettable, with no standout tracks that leave a lasting impact. The production values are average, and the cinematography doesn't add much to the overall experience.
Overall, "God Tussi Great Ho" is a mediocre comedy film that fails to make a significant mark. While it has some entertaining moments, the predictable storyline, average performances, and lackluster execution prevent it from standing out among other Bollywood comedies. If you enjoy light-hearted comedies and are a fan of the main actors, you might find some enjoyment in this film. However, if you're looking for a truly great comedy experience, you may want to explore other options.

The Bollywood remake of Bruce Almighty isn't as bad as I thought it would be and isn't better or worse than the original. The story is basically the same about a man who complains to God a lot about the bad things that happens in his life and God gives him his powers for a limited time to teach him a lesson. The movie had a lot more jokes and humorous situations than Bruce Almighty so it was entertaining but Salman Khan overacted a lot and it was quite difficult not to compare him with Jim Carry but Sohail Khan & Priyanka Chopra did a decent job and Amitabh Bachchan is simply the No 1 in Bollywood, he was the best throughout the whole film and he never fails to impress. I couldn't think of any other actor that can play God.
The film also reminded me of many other Salman Khan's films including Hello Brother (Amitabh Bachchan played the voice of God) and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (Salman & Sohail were fighting for one girl). The music is OK and is best listened to while watching the movie but the songs are great to the eyes. Overall it was a good film but not great because it was pretty predictable throughout.

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.

Look, you wanna watch this movie? One word - DON'T. Watch Bruce Almighty, which is the "inspiration" for this. It has the same plotline but fails to entertain at all. Please don't watch this.
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.
