OMG Moving starring The superstar Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal is back with its sequel OMG 2 starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tiwar and Yami Gautam. While the first part is remembered for generating a lot of controversy for hurting the sentiments of Hindu religion, 2nd part is seen to revive the image of the movie with its strong subject that emphasizes the need for education about topics like sex, masturbation, etc.

Introduction 

The story is about a father Kanti played by Pankaj Tripathi, who fights for his son to get justice as he gets rusticated out of school for masturbating. In a world where masturbation is considered a sin, Kanti’s son and his family are looked down upon by society.
The father’s role is played by Pankaj Tripathi, one of the best actors in Bollywood. His portrayal of a father in distress against the world is admirable in his acting. There is also a message given in the movie to have faith in god no matter what.
Through the role of Lord Shiva’s messenger played by Akshay Kumar, we see how god wants the topics that people are shy to talk about to come out in the open like sex, masturbation, etc. It’s written in Hindu holy books about these topics also, and talking about all this will result in betterment of the society. 
Movie Name- OMG 2

Director- Amit Rai

Genre- Comedy-drama

Language- Hindi

Synopsis- spoiler alert!

Kanti then fights for his son's dignity and the importance of sex education. He is helped in his quest by a messenger (Akshay Kumar) of Lord Shiva.
The child accepts that the place where he did the act was not right while also saying that he is not ashamed about masturbating which is a completely normal Act.
 
The film ends with Kanti winning his case against the school which is represented by Yami Gautam as a lawyer and with the school agreeing to start teaching sex education.

About the director

Amit Rai is the director of OMG 2. He is a Hindi film director and screenwriter who has worked in the Indian film industry for over 20 years. He made his directorial debut with the 2006 film "Ab Tak Chhappan". He has also directed the films "Aan: Men at Work" (2007), "No One Killed Jessica" (2011), and "OMG – Oh My God!" (2012).

Rai is known for his realistic and gritty films that often deal with social issues. He is also a skilled writer and has written screenplays for many of his films.
In OMG 2, Rai tackles the sensitive topic of sex education in schools. He does so in a humorous and thought-provoking way, while also raising important questions about the role of religion and society in our lives.

Personal Verdict

I think the movie brings about a much-needed message in light that the topics like sex, and masturbation are not something to be shy about but rather to be to talk about openly.
This will make the children understand what is right and wrong, good touch and bad touch, and heinous crimes such as rape. At the same time, making elders more aware of how important these subjects such as sex education are. So the movie has done a brilliant job of giving that message to the audience. OMG 2 is a thought-provoking and important film that is sure to spark debate and discussion.

Famous dialogues in the movie-

Logon ke haath pair jode jode ke tumhara admission karvaya" - Pankaj Tripathi to Akshay Kumar, meaning "People begged and pleaded to get you admitted to this school."
"Bachche guilt mein marr jaate hain" - Brijendra Kala, meaning "Children die of guilt."
""Ganga kaha se behti hain uske baare mein muje mat batana" - Pankaj Tripathi to Akshay Kumar, meaning "Don't tell me where the Ganga River flows."
"Jab puri duniya karvat le rahi thi tab hamara sanatan hindu dharam daud liya tha Maharaj" - Pankaj Tripathi to Akshay Kumar, meaning "When the whole world was changing, our Sanatana Hindu dharma ran ahead, Maharaj."

The bottom line
The bottom line of OMG 2 is that religion should not be used to suppress or discriminate against people. The film also explores the importance of sex education and the harmful effects of guilt.

My rating for the movie - 4 / 5

               Film: The Green Mile Director: Frank Darabont Language: English Genre: Crime/Drama In 1999, "The Green Mile" brought a remarkable story to the big screen, setting it against the backdrop of a Louisiana penitentiary during the Great Depression. Tom Hanks takes on the role of Paul Edgecomb, who is responsible for Death Row, where prisoners await their execution.  In the film's opening, Paul likens the place to an intensive care ward of a hospital, setting the tone for a narrative that seamlessly blends the harsh realities of prison life with the supernatural. Plot (Spoiler Alert) At the heart of the story is John Coffey, a massive black man who arrives on Death Row, accused of molesting and murdering two young white girls.
