O for OMG: Oh My God!

         We Indians are highly superstitious and spiritual. We don’t believe in our deities, but we fear them. We follow innumerable rituals, prayers, fasts, and whatnot to appease our God and Goddess to make them happy and so that, we get our wishes. But who made those rules? Who told us that if we fast for 'n' number of days we will get a good husband? Who said if a wife fast for a whole day it will give long life to her husband? If all that was true how come many wives who had observed that fast became widowed at an early age? And why are all rules and fasts laid down only for women?

 

My parents always say if we want to discontinue any (monthly) fast which we have been doing for a long we have to go to some particular temple and do poojas and then we can discontinue. But my question is when we start to observe that fast do we take permission or do any pooja? Then why do we need to do pooja and take permission to discontinue? I am not an atheist but I don't believe in some of the rituals and rules laid down in name of God.

 

OMG: Oh My God! (2012) is a comedy-drama movie that questions such beliefs and is a perfect mirror to all our superstitions and blind belief. I loved this movie and would like to say hats off to the director, writer, and the whole team for making such a mind-blowing film. 

 

I have posted link to one of my favorite scenes below.

J for Jolly LLB series

 

         Our Indian judicial system is well-known for reasons better not spoken off. Some of the well-known actors, politicians, and many people in power, play around with the system’s loopholes and get away scot-free while the common and innocent man keeps making rounds to seek justice. That’s a sad but true reality.

 

         Jolly LLB series (Jolly LLB - 2013 and Jolly LLB 2017) shows both sides of a coin. I had read somewhere that “there are three versions of an incident. One is A’s version, another is B’s version and the third is the actual incident”. But most of the time the third version is never heard off.

 

         I loved both the movies of the series but the second one more than the first. Both Arshad Warsi and Akshay Kumar has played the titular role with perfection. In the Jolly LLB 2, some of the scenes are not only hilarious but leave an impact on you. 

 

            The story, the characters, and the picturization, all make this movie an interesting and must-watch. Which one is your favourite of the series?
