OMG: Oh My God! Page #9

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.

Threw it?

- Yes, l threw it.

You threw the Bhagwad Gita out.

- Yes.

Wow!

- Why?

Kanji, the Gita,

Bible, Koran has answers..

..to every problems of humans.

l know you don't

believe in all this.

But for your own good,

read this book once.

And see the result.

And if the result isn't good..

..then you can throw it out.

Kanji bhai read it once,

and then see.

l am not human.

l am sold in stores.

l created the world.

Not with mud,

but with my emotions.

l am wandering around..

.looking for my signs,

where are they.

Where are my signs?

Stop begging in the name of Allah.

Stop begging and do some hard work.

My signs.

My signs.

l was always with

you as your shadow.

l gave you shade when

the heat was strong.

l was your

companion in yourjourney.

Still you're confused.

Looking for your

answers in the question.

Where are you lost?

Where are my signs?

Where are my signs?

My signs.

My signs.

My signs.

My signs.

My signs.

Wear your slippers.

- Oh.

Thief.

Those are my slippers.

Where are my signs?

Sir, shoe polish.

- No.

Sir, recognise me.

The beggar outside the shrine.

You told me to make

an honest living.

Shake hands, shake hands.

My signs.

My signs.

Today's the last hearing on

the case filed against God.

The claim amount

is 400 crore rupees.

Can Kanji bhai win this case?

We'll have to wait and watch.

You can please proceed.

Your Honour,

before Mr. Kanji can express..

..his sharp and witty

views before the court..

..without any reference,

l would like to ask..

..does he have any evidence,

to prove..

..that God has demolished his shop?

Your Honour,

l require a learned man..

..for the next

question l'm going to ask.

So, whoever amongst you is

the learned one can come here.

The learned one, please come here.

Please sit down.

Good. You come here, Swami.

Come.

You sages always speak

about the scriptures..

..in their preaching.

ls everything written

in the scriptures true?

Absolutely.

lt's not written anywhere,

you're saying that.

lt's written in the Gita.

lt is.

What's written in the Gita?

Chapter four, verse forty of Gita.

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

Meaning?

- lt means..

Any illiterate, or faithless

person that doubts the Gita..

..is destined to ruination.

He stays devoid of

sanctity on earth and on heaven.

Understood?

He's an interesting character.

Do you understand anything written

in The Gita or the Scriptures?

Or are you blindly agreeing..

..to whatever Leeladhar is saying.

Your Honour, small

children in school..

..don't remember the entire prayer.

So they just close

their eyes and...

Move their lips.

They move their lips and

you're moving your hands.

Kanji.

You've insulted a learned sage.

So?

- You won't get refuge even in hell.

How can l?

You've already

reserved places there.

How dare you?

How dare you?

Atheist!

Silence.

- Leave me! Leave me!

What are you doing?

This is the court, sit down.

Order, order.

Sit down everyone.

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

Sanskrit chants.

Chapter 2, verse 56.

Meaning, a person for whom

happiness and sorrows is equal..

..and is devoid of anger and fear,

and has a calm mind..

..is called a learned person.

They'll teach me Gita?

They can't teach me, Your Honour.

Their lQ is lower than

the room temperature.

l said a few things

to instigate you..

..you tried to harm me.

ls this your achievement,

Siddeshwar?

Mr. Kanji, the issue

isn't his achievement..

..the issue here is

who razed down your shop?

God did.

You're giving a verdict.

That's the judge's duty.

You just have to prove..

..that God caused that earthquake.

Yes, and it's

impossible to prove that.

Relax, relax, relax.

Nothing is impossible.

Tell me one thing.

The Lord has narrated the

'Bhagvad Gita'.

- Yes.

And everything said in

the 'Bhagvad Gita' is true.

Absolutely.

Point to be noted, Your Honour.

So tell me, why did God say in the

eight verse of the ninth chapter..

..of the 'Gita', l've

created the entire universe..

..and it will be

destroyed on my will.

The entire creation

follows my will.

lt is only l, who is responsible..

..for its creation

and its destruction.

And look.

Your Honour, it's been

said in the Bible as well.

Chapter 54, verse 16.

See, it is l who have

created the smith..

..who blows the fire of

coals and produces a weapon..

..fit for his purpose.

l've also created the

ravager to destroy.

And see this.

Also in the Holy Quran.

Sur-e-Zalzala 99,

verse 108 states that..

..the entire earth will

be shaken to its core.

And the earth will

spill out its burden.

And humans will question,

what's happening.

And that day, she

will unveil her plight.

Because the Lord

would've ordered her to do so.

The Lord.

All these things

mean the same thing..

..that my shop was razed down..

..due to the earthquake

caused by God.

That means it is an act of God.

lt's His doing.

And, all those who

have suffered losses..

..due to Him, will have

to be compensated by God.

Otherwise, their collection agents.

Your Honour, Mr. Kanji is

trying to confuse Leeladhar..

..with his words.

Mr. Sardesai.

What are you doing?

Let him speak.

lf it's proven that God exists..

..then we won't have to pay.

l see.

Now you want to blame us completely.

- Be quiet.

You cannot blame the Lord

to hide your sins.

- Be quiet.

Because only we have

a copyright on God.

Copyright?

- Silence.

Just because you

constructed a few temples..

..you think God belongs to you..

Beware.

Our community won't spare you.

What's he..

- Silence!

Relax.

Until today l had heard

that God is venerated..

..He is worshipped, prayed to.

But now l see that

Gods have copyrights too.

God's copyright?

These people have

turned God into a brand.

Now l am assured

that God doesn't exist.

Not possible.

Because if He really existed..

..he would've rid

the world of imposters like you.

l've already proven what

l wanted to, Your Honour.

Now the verdict..

Mr. Kanji, are you alright?

Mr. kanji, are you alright?

Mr. Kanji.

Kanji bhai! Kanji bhai!

Kanji bhai! Kanji bhai!

What's wrong with my brother?

Someone get water.

Kanji bhai! Kanji bhai!

Thank you.

- Call the ambulance.

Call the ambulance.

Yes, he's here.

Excuse me.

- Just a minute, just a minute.

Let me through.

- Please let us pass.

You cannot go inside.

- No, no, no.

Please, l said you cannot..

- But he's my husband.

l want to see him.

Doctor, is he alright?

lt's a severe attack of paralysis.

And now he's gone into coma.

He's on ventilator and..

..only God can save him now.

The 400 crore in compensations

under the 'Act of God'..

..will now be paid out.

lt was his wish that

we should pay, so we did.

Great, Lord.

Where am l?

Don't say that.

You're in the lCU.

Your wife and children are outside.

No one's allowed inside.

Then how did you come in?

l came here to wake you up.

lt's time for you to get up.
