Thank God

Thank God a nice film! It has a decent storyline,good acting done by Siddhharth Malhotra, Ajay Devgan and Rakul. It's a feel good film and leaves a meaningful message at the end. The ending was a little unpredictable and ultimately surprising. Great sets and special effects , so it's worth a watch in theatres as I think that people should come to watch it instead of watching it on OTT platforms as It's not necessary for a film to be flawless and have great VFX or story so that it's worth a watch in theatres. Simple films like Thank God also deserves to be watched on big screens. Thank God is 4/5 for me.

I never expected Thank God to be a great film and it is not. In fact , it is a very shallow level film with many flaws . Yet i felt it was a nice feel good film with good lessons learning journey.

The lessons it teaches us are very basic ones and one that every one from your family can easily resonate with. Also, it gives these lessons in very interesting ways... how? ...So basically, in Siddharth (named Ayaan in film) is a greedy small minded person who meets with an accident and is up in heaven in front of CG apparantly Chitragupta and Yamdoot who give him one last chance to redeem himself in order for him to survive. CG (Ajay Devgn) connects various events in Sids life in a very surprise reveal or twisty style to give him life lessons and this is what I found really interesting.

In fact there is one final twist at the end which maybe predictable for many but still was quite interestingly blended with the film. The game show like screenplay makes sure i was always invested in the film with no boring moments.

Ajay Devgn is another big positive about this film. His call and often swaggy nature made his parts extremely interesting.

These above factors make the film very much watchable but of course i said its not a great film.

Siddharth Malhotra after a terrific Shershaah falls flat in this film. "Thank God" Ajay Devgn was there in this film otherwise it would have been a bigger washout . Sid is hammy. He can't crack jokes properly. He is still not a very polished actor.

VFX is often not good but that's all you can expect from a film with not very high budget.

Indra Kumar, the Dhamaal / Masti man, is still not very matured as a director. His direction and treatment still feels stuck in the early 2000s but atleast this time he didn't make a cringy film. His films are well known for comedy but that's exactly what went missing in the film. Whatever comedy was there in the film was already shown in the trailer (in fact i would say the entire first half was shown in the trailer) and it barely works in the film . However, if one notes Indra Kumar's interview, he himself claimed he did not make this film as an out an out comedy but atleast whatever was there should have worked but sadly it doesn't.

Songs..umm..nah forget them. Maybe that Dil De Diya is something i love till now.

Overall, i am sure critics will bash this film and such films don't deserve to be watched with critical eyes. These are "just chill and enjoy" type of films. Also, it's not an out and out comedy so don't go in expecting a lol ride, it's actually more of a emotional life lesson / moral story kind of film. Last but not the least, what i liked was that it kept the lessons short and simple and not like some 15 mins speech that many Ayushman Khurrana films have. All lessons are given in just 30 secs and some of it is quite impactful.

The movie shines at times but also gets really dull at moments. Screenplay is the primary problem that the movie tackles. Also, now that vfx is improving in bollywood, this movie should have invested the effort in VFX specially when it has a good amount of requirement in the film.

Songs seem a bit misplaced in the film with only the item song surprisingly taking the story forward. Female protagonist seems to have nothing much to do in the film. Although, with remakes this could have been delivered better. Overall this is a one time watch movie. Background score is nice and engaging but there seem too many movements with camera angles that make it less engrossed for the viewer.

Thank God is a comedy which fails to deliver. The film despite being a comedy barely makes you laugh. In fact, it get can so boring at times that you just wish for the scene to end and another scene to come up. The audience expects Siddharth to get in the accident really quickly but it depends a little too much time to get to the accident scene. The audience just gets bored at this point.

Ajay Devgn is the only one who entertains you. Siddharth Malhotra tries but it doesn't work.

This film is the type of film which needs to give the audience a reason to stay and watch the whole film. Thank God does not do that though. The audience just gets bored after a while which isn't good.

If you are bored and have nothing to do, watch this film however I wouldn't recommend you to watch it expecting it to be great.

After watching movies, I can get a better approach to live beautiful life. We are running towards busyness life in order to fulfillment of dream, but totally ignored life, relationship and values. This movie is best example of "every action there is an opposite reaction.

People's devotion towards gods and attached to them so closely to full fill there dream and expecting a happy life but instead of it if you will help poor peoples the god must bless you.

In this movie story and casting is also perfect. For movies like life and family content "Siddharth Malhotra" is best like" baar baar dekho" and "Kapoor and Sons. Ajay sir always do best,here also.
