“OMG 2” Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited sequel to the 2008 hit film, “OMG – Oh My God!”, released on August 11, 2023, opening to strong box office numbers worldwide.
The movie could have probably performed much better had it been released after a week. Sunny Deol’s “Gadar 2” and Rajinikanth’s “Jailer” also were released on the same day that, hindered the growth of “OMG 2”
The film, which also stars Pankaj Tripathi, Yami Gautam, and Jacqueline Fernandez, collected an estimated ₹10.2 crore on its opening day in India much less compared to Rs 40.2 cr of “Gadar 2”.
It had a good start in overseas markets, collecting an estimated $1 million in the US and Canada. The day 2 collections is expected to be even better due to the good word of mouth.
The film’s strong opening is a positive sign for the Hindi film industry, which has been struggling in recent months. It is also a sign that Akshay Kumar remains a major draw for audiences.
The actor has had a string of hits in recent years, including “Samrat Prithviraj”, “Bachchan Pandey”, and “Bell Bottom.”
“OMG 2” is directed by Amit Rai and produced by Akshay Kumar and Vikram Malhotra. The film is a comedy-drama that explores the themes of religion and faith.
It has received positive reviews from critics, who have praised its humor, performances, and message reported NDTV.
‘OMG 2″ Public response
The film, which stars Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi, tells the story of a godman who is challenged by a young atheist to prove the existence of God. The film has been praised for its humor, social commentary, and performances.
However, some critics have found the film to be too preachy and lacking in subtlety. Overall, the public response to “OMG 2” has been positive, with many viewers praising the film for its timely message and entertaining story.
