As the name suggests, a movie challenging GOD !!! A very different subject indeed, actually transpired in 2008 in Nebraska in the United States, where, A Senator filed a lawsuit against God, seeking a ruling against "God's harmful activities". The grievance got instantly dismissed by the court because God could not be notified for the lack of a proper address...
It carries a social message, a significant one, but the best part is, it does so without losing the wit and humor. It takes some amount of guts on the part of the directors and producers Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, to point out certain religious beliefs that people hold on to.. It was a very very sensitive issue, but portrayed in a very convincing manner..
I, personally, felt thae movie to be very different and significant in every aspect.. Very different from normal comedy, romance and action.. A subject, everyone could relate to very easily.. Most importantly, it doesn't get preachy, nor does it deviate into the sermonizing mode. The film demonstrates Kanji as a nastik or a non-believer in God at the very outset, who, paradoxically, uses religion to run his business.
The movie was commercially successful as well as critically acclaimed.. Made on a budget of 
20 crore (US$3.64 million), the film received positive response from critics upon release. Box Office India declared the film aSuperhit after its three week run...
