Movie Review : God Tussi Great Ho

Banner:    Shabbo Arts Cast:    Priyanka Chopra, Amitabh Bachchan, Manisha Koirala,Anupam Kher, Beena Kak, Rukhsar, Direction:    Rumi Jaffery Production:    Afzal Khan The very first time one heard of this film the excitement levels rose. After the success of ‘Mushje Shaadi, Rumi Jaffrey , the writer of the film was now turning director. What more when you have the likes of Salman , Mr.Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra? But over a span of 2 years (which can be observed in the film), the equation between the actors changed drastically. Be it the Salman-Priyanka or the Amitabh-Salman scenario.  This surely has impacted the promotion of a ‘mighty’ film and until last week Salman  didn’t come out to give interviews. So, here it finally is… ‘God Tussi Great Ho’, an adaptation of ‘Bruce Almighty’. At the end of the worst day in his life, Arun Prajapati (Salman Khan) angrily rages against God for making his life miserable. To his astonishment, God (Amitabh Bachchan) appears before him in human form and endowing Arun with all of his divine powers, challenges Arun to take on the big job and see if he can do it any better. Arun responds to his newfound powers with childlike zeal and sets off making one hysterical yet disastrous decision one after another. The love of his life Alia (Priyanka Chopra) is astonished at the 'new' decisive and confident Arun. He thinks he can make the world a happy place by granting everybody their wishes. But to his horror, this results in unprecedented mayhem. Ultimately, Arun realises that he is only human, and being God is tougher than he thought. Well if you are wondering whether it is a complete rip off you’ve got it wrong. Writer and debutant director Rumi indeed does quite a bit to change the proceedings of the film to fit the Indian constraints. He fuses in the family angle, the drama, marriage scene, fight sequences etc to entertain. Then what’s wrong with this flick?
