Siddharth Malhotra, Ajay Devgn's Thank God fails to hold viewers' interest

Thank God: Lady luck rarely smiles at Ayaan but he is a self-centred and egoistic real estate guy who meets with a car accident and reaches Heaven. He encounters Chitragupt there and needs to play the ‘Game of Life’ that will decide whether he goes back to Earth or Hell, depending on his deeds. Will he win the game and be united with his wife and daughter?

Indra Kumar’s Thank God has a benevolent cause at heart. The film It is a simple story of a man facing judgement after a freak accident. His stay on earth is reviewed by a panel who decides if his cup of good deeds overrules the ones where he wronged someone. Isn’t the concept of afterlife captivating?

Interesting premise

At the onset, Thank God has an interesting premise. It also has a fairly likeable cast. Sidharth Malhotra in the lead role is endearing as Ayaan Kapoor. Ajay Devgn plays CG (Chitragupta), the moderator who plays the game of ‘good vs bad’ with Ayaan. Rakul Preet Singh is Ayaan’s wife Ruhi.

There are comparisons with Bruce Almighty but Thank God fails to hold interest. The story is stuck in the 90s and oversimplified. It might find favour with audiences who want a clean entertainer as the movie makes for an easy watch. The film has a message or two about moving on about tribulations, being humane and the importance of one’s family.

Hit films

Director Indra Kumar, of hits such as Raja , Beta and Ishq, who made a mark because of his simplistic take on comedy as most of his films had humour and not mere slapstick, Thank God will need more than divine intervention to redeem itself at the box office.

Thank God is a Diwali release aimed at pleasing family crowds. Despite Ajay’s star power and Siddharth’s charm, the film fails to hold the viewers' interest.
