The review of the much-awaited sequel of Oh My God (OMG) starring Akshay Kumar is out as the special screening for several journalists was scheduled by the makers. The movie is anticipated to get a grand opening on its release day which is Friday, August 11.

OMG 2 is getting excellent reviews from the critics and the fans are also excited to watch the movie on Friday. Meanwhile, popular senior Indian journalist Sudhir Chaudhary attended the special screening of the movie and praised the makers for making a brilliant movie which is based on sex education. He took to Twitter and wrote an appreciation note and also tagged Akshay.

“Watched #OMG2, and found it a path-breaking film on sex education, a subject we avoid speaking about in our homes and schools. Found it so funny and entertaining also, like a true-blue @akshaykumar comedy, still with a lovely message. I think it’s a very bold attempt by an established star like #AkshayKumar who doesn’t even need to take risks. 

He has handled a complex subject with a lot of maturity, and conviction. I would say every teenager, parent and teacher should watch it. Unfortunately, an A certificate has turned OMG2 into an Adult film, although meant for teenagers.” he wrote on Twitter.

Check out what the movie is based on

Most people in India still view sex education as a taboo subject, but with OMG 2, filmmaker Amit Rai hopes to start a discussion about its inclusion in school curricula. The storyline of OMG 2 centres on how Vivek (Aarush Varma)’s mental health is affected by an incident of schoolyard masturbation and how this affects how society views his entire family.

Lord Shiva sends his messenger (Akshay Kumar) to support the family in trying times and help them out of the predicament when all hope and spirit has been lost. The messenger prompts Kanti Sharan Mudgal’s (Pankaj Tripathi) father to initiate a lawsuit against the school and several other social misinformants. In OMG 2, the story of the case and how Kanti Sharan Mudgal breaks the taboo are revealed.

The actor revealed that the trio has discussed working together on a film.

Reflecting on their conversation, Aamir said, “About six months ago, Shah Rukh, Salman, and I were together, and I brought up the idea.

“Intelligent Stubbornness”: Manoj Bajpayee on Chasing Dreams and Staying Relevant

Published

How does the son of a farmer from a small village in Bihar rise to stardom in the bustling and competitive world of Mumbai’s film industry? For Manoj Bajpayee, the answer lies in being “intelligently stubborn.”

The versatile actor, known for roles ranging from Bhiku Mhatre in Satya to Srikant Tiwari in The Family Man, attributes his success to his ability to navigate challenging circumstances without losing sight of his dreams. Speaking to PTI, Bajpayee reflected on his journey, which began in the village of Belwa and led to a celebrated career in both mainstream and arthouse cinema.

“You have to be intelligently stubborn and audacious,” Bajpayee shared. “Circumstances and situations will test you constantly and make you doubt yourself. But commitment to your dreams is what keeps you going.”

After his breakthrough role in Ram Gopal Varma’s 1998 underworld drama Satya, Bajpayee was inundated with offers to play similar roles. However, he was determined not to be typecast. “I was stubborn about not getting boxed into one type of role. The industry didn’t know what else to offer me, so they offered money. But I refused. I knew that if I became a villain, I might never escape that image,” he explained.

 

Bajpayee’s calculated defiance set him apart. Inspired by the careers of other actors like Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Kay Kay Menon, he charted a unique path, taking on diverse roles in films such as Shool, Gangs of Wasseypur, Aligarh, and Sonchiriya. His adaptability extended to digital platforms, with standout performances in Gulmohar and The Family Man.

Growing up as one of six siblings, Bajpayee dreamed of acting despite his family’s limited means. At 17, he moved to Delhi, pursued education to honor his mother’s wishes, and immersed himself in theatre before heading to Mumbai. His persistence bore fruit with a small role in Drohkaal (1994) and recognition in Bandit Queen. His big break came with Satya, which not only launched his career but also inspired countless others from Bihar to chase their dreams.

“It wasn’t just my village; many young people from Bihar gained the courage to step out of their comfort zones after Satya. It showed them that if I could do it, they could too,” he said.

Despite his success, Bajpayee remains connected to his roots in Belwa. “When I was there, I wanted to leave. Now that I’ve achieved my dreams, I feel drawn back.”

Bajpayee’s upcoming project, Despatch, where he plays investigative journalist Joy Bag, will premiere on ZEE5 on December 13. His journey, defined by resilience and intelligent stubbornness, continues to inspire dreamers across the country.
