OMG: Oh My God! Page #5

Synopsis: Kanji Lalji Mehta, though an atheist, owns a small shop selling religious goods, concocting cock-and-bull stories to extract higher fees from his customers for his wares. When, in openly defying God, an earthquake destroys his (and only his) only source of income, with the insurance company refusing to pay up on the basis of it being an 'act of God', Kanjibhai takes God to the court. With many similarly unfortunate people pinning their hopes to him, Kanji's lack of courtroom experience may leave him unable to prove his point - that is, until approached by a man introducing himself as Krishna Vasudeva Yadav. Krishna helps Kanji win his case, his family and helps him find his faith in God, along the way showing how priests can turn religion into a business and that God can be found everywhere, particularly in a house of worship.

Even l gave this amount..

..for the peace and

prosperity of my family.

And not for fun.

But your God snatched

all the peace from my life.

Because only God can

cause earthquakes.

Humans cannot do it.

So tell me, don't l've a right

to ask God for compensation?

Mr. Kanji.

You've a tiff with God, don't you?

- Yes.

So why don't you ask Him

directly for compensation?

Why are you asking the temples?

Which company supplies

electricity to your home?

Reliance.

- Reliance.

So if there's an

electricity problem in your home..

..you will call up the

Reliance office, won't you?

You won't call

Anil Ambani directly.

Mr. Anil,

we've a electricity problem.

Silence.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

These priests, the saints are officers of God.

- No.

They aren't officers.

Officers are educated people.

They are...

They are salesmen, Your Honour.

They are collection agents..

..because they own God's franchise.

Your Honour.

This man's an atheist.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

But, we are saints.

We will forgive him.

But the world will never

forgive him for this grave sin.

You won't be able to set

foot out of your house..

..if you say anything else.

ls that your concern for me..

..or are you threatening

me in front of the judge?

We...are concerned for you.

They pay me up quickly.

End this matter.

My lord, this is enough.

The donation receipts,

the submissions.

There's no agency agreement

between God and my clients.

Kanji is saying baseless things.

We cannot file a case

against God for such a small thing.

Small?

My lord, this isn't small issue.

That shop means everything to me.

My means of earning.

The only way to support my family.

And l built that

shop with hard work.

Now, it's just a piece of land.

And no one's ready

to buy that as well.

These people say,

Donate with faith..

..and you'll never be wronged.

And the insurance people say

Pay your premiums on time..

..we're there in

your troubled times.

l gave donations and

also paid my premiums.

But none of them are

willing to help me.

l am an ordinary human.

A middle-class man.

My family, my wife and children..

..will be forced

to live on streets.

No, my lord.

You'll have to give me a chance

to defend my case in this court.

And the constituency of

lndia gives me the right..

..to voice my plea in this court.

So please, my lord.

One crore is a big amount

for a middle-class businessman.

And especially, when it's

a question of his survival.

So, the court accepts

Kanji Lalji Mehta's case.

Silence.

And only after

carefully examining..

..all the evidences and arguments..

..the court will give

its verdict, whether..

..Mr. Mr. Kanji Lal will

get his compensation or not.

And if he does,

then who will pay him?

The insurance company or,

the temple.

The court's adjourned for the day.

Wait. Wait.

You can perform all

the veneration you want..

..and ring those bells

as many times you wish.

Your God razed down my shop.

And now, l will alone

shut down all his shops..

..or my name isn't

Kanji Lalji Mehta.

And this isn't my concern for you.

lt's a direct warning.

Yes.

You're safe here,

it's a government property.

But how will you escape them?

Down with..

- Kanji!

Down with..

- Kanji!

Down with..

- Kanji!

Down with..

- Kanji!

Down with..

- Kanji!

Down with..

- Kanji!

Down with..

- Kanji!

Sir. The case has been accepted.

l'm worried about

Sushila and the children.

l'll take a cab, you go.

But how can l leave you alone.

l'm going to the police station,

for protection.

Drop her home as well. Go.

Be careful, dear.

Go, go, go.

Are the boys ready?

Remember.

Kanji shouldn't get

to see daylight. That's it.

There he is.

Catch him. There he goes.

Don't let him go.

Go...go...go...Govinda.

govinda aala re..

Go...go...go...Govinda.

Go...go...go...Govinda.

Go...go...go...Govinda.

Let's sit down and talk.

All l did was file a case.

lf you try to talk

they'll cut you in half.

Look behind.

Catch him.

Faster!

Who are you?

Krishna Vasudev Yadav.

What?

Krishna Vasudev Yadav from Gokul.

So you're from UP.

You can call me Kanhaiyya.

Catch him, catch him.

Catch him.

Careful.

Are you a man or a stuntman?

You can call me a stuntman as well.

But people call

my stunts a miracle.

Miracle.

- Hold on.

You aren't wearing a helmet either.

There he is.

There's a lot of traffic on earth.

Where do you think you're going,

go that way.

Drive on the road.

Faster!

Go...go...go...Govinda.

That was a narrow escape.

Now, take me to Brahmanwadi.

Go straight then take a left,

then right and another left.

And you'll be home, go on.

You brought me this far,

so drop me home as well.

My job's to show the way..

..it's yourjob to

get to the destination.

Keep it.

Thank you so much.

You're so kind.

- Thank you.

Take care.

Go...go...go...Govinda.

Papa!

- Sushila.

ls everything fine?

Go up and take a look in the house,

you'll know.

Thankfully we survived, otherwise..

No, l'll talk to the police.

Don't worry.

They hurled stones and

acid bottles in our house.

l don't care lf l die.

But the children.

lf Jigna would've

been hit by that acid..

l won't let anything

happen to them.

l am their father. Please.

So, understand the

duties of a father.

Withdraw the case.

- You're a fool.

l'm about to lose my house.

Where will we stay?

On the streets, or in their house?

Do we have any other option?

Why don't you understand?

Come on, Jigna. Sit in the car.

He's made a mess of things.

l won't leave papa.

l'll slap you if you refuse.

- No, mother.

Come inside, sit inside.

Please..

Hello.

Hello.

Who is it?

- Bhagwan (God).

What?

lf you were a Muslim,

l would've said Allah.

lf you were a Christian,

then Jesus Christ.

You're a Hindu, so Krishna.

You, here?

You're an excellent stuntman,

really.

Very good.

l'm sure you're

acting is decent as well.

Why don't you approach

some television channel?

They keep remaking

Ramayan and Mahabharat.

Krishna.

Suited-booted Krishna.

Here to teach me a lesson.

Look.

Look there.

Gods are bare-bodied.

Like this.

They're never fully covered.

That's your wedding photo, right?

- Yes.

Wearing that traditional attire.

So, did you only wear

a traditional attire..

..since your wedding?

No, right?

- No.

See. That's our older image.

Conch in one hand,

mace in the other.

Where are yours?

lf l keep holding them all day,

won't my arms hurt?

Think.

Actually, our latest photos

haven't been updated on Facebook.

People still use the

older ones, and we let them.

We don't have a problem.

Let them.

- That's enough.

You're boring me now.

Get out, leave.

Mahadev!

Mahadev!

- Only you can hear and see me.

Yes, coming. Coming.

Mahadev!

What happened?

What happened, Kanji?

See him.

He calls himself God.

l can see him.

He can see you.

My name's Krishna,

your new neighbour.

Neighbour?

Neighbour?

The person Kanji had
