OMG: Oh My God! Page #6

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.

Please go. He's a big liar.

He was boring me yesterday.

Please go.

lf you eat all that

you'll get a stomach ache.

First half a kilo of

butter and now this.

l'll be fine.

Hello.

- Sir, l'm speaking from ABP News.

l am standing below your house.

Sir.

Look, l don't want to be

a piece of news for you.

And don't call me again.

Sir, just one interview.

Since he filed a case

against God, he's become alone.

One has to tread

on such a path alone.

Let's see how far our friend goes.

The advocate who

prepared Kanji's notice.

He lives that way.

Excuse me, advocate Hanif Qureshi.

He lives right there.

Where does advocate

Hanif Qureshi live?

He lives right there.

Advocate Hanif Qureshi lives there.

155 letters, and calls too.

Bhuj, Latur, Vishakapatnam.

Their claims haven't

been approved..

..for the past few

years due to 'Act of God'.

All they all want you

to defend their cases.

Son, l've lost my

house in the earthquake.

My son and his wife died too.

This is my grandson.

His cancer needs to be operated.

lf l get the insurance money,

everything will be alright.

This is Aslam.

Hello.

- Hello.

He lost everything in the Tsunami.

He lost all the money he had

saved for his sister's marriage.

So you file a case too.

l'll be cast out..

..if l go against

the priest or community.

Look, Aslam.

You aren't going against anyone.

Those who taught you religion,

taught you to pray..

..you're just questioning

them why Allah did this to you.

But, the priest..

- Aslam.

When you lose your home..

..will the priest let

you stay in his house?

Religion is for people,

people aren't made for religion.

Hanif, how long will it

take to ready their papers?

As long as it will take me to type.

Let's begin.

First one crore, and now

claims worth 400 crores.

Kanji Mehta!

Advocate Sardesai

is caught between..

..the insurance company

and religious organizations.

For God's sake,

prove that God exists.

And...and...

make God pay all this!

The temples, mosques, churches,

they will pay everything.

Kanji.

Wasn't your fight with your God?

Silence please!

- So why call me here?

Priest, how can l say

which God of which religion..

..was behind this earthquake,

or that Tsunami?

That's your department.

Your Honour, they're in

constant touch with God.

They're always in contact.

Why don't you tell me

Who was responsible?

Why would our God harm

people of our own religion?

God will never do such a thing!

Silence.

- He loves his children!

Allah doesn't hate

his followers either!

Relax.

- Please be seated.

The court needs some time

to study all these cases.

Anyone related to this

case cannot leave the country.

What?

Court is adjourned.

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

Long live..

- Kanji!

This is government property,

you're safe here.

But how will you escape them,

in temples, churches and mosques?

What are you thinking, Leeladhar?

This has gone beyond the limit.

Stop all the shams that you're

running in the name of faith.

Otherwise, the day isn't far when..

..no one will even spare

alms in the name of God.

Thank you.

You don't understand, Leeladhar..

- Thank you.

This is actually a serious matter.

People are making him a hero..

..and the claim

amount is increasing.

Will you just tell us about

the problems or do something?

Next week,

l've a religious programme..

..on the Star Cruise, in Singapore

And the judge says

l cannot leave the country.

Do something.

- l would.

But it's the court,

not the parliament..

..where we can break a few

chairs and the job's done.
