Though overtly simplistic, the story still lands. The actors service the script in the most basic fashion without adding any of their natural flair to it. Imagine what that means for an actor of Devgn’s calibre or for leading man Sidharth Malhotra, who is fresh off the success of his last release, Shershaah

Is intention enough to make a good movie? It’s a perennial question to which cinephiles are yet to find a unanimous answer. Which brings us to this week’s release — Thank God — a film that director Indra Kumar hopes to reinvent himself with. Does the film live up to his grand-size ambition? A flawed man, looking for redemption, as he hangs between life and death… For most part of the movie, it does. Since the film is designed as a funny Diwali entertainer, it does only that. There’s an uproarious cameo by Kiku Sharda snuck in, some meta references to Singham with Ajay Devgn on screen, and a particularly cheeky one about Amitabh Bachchan stealing the concept of Kaun Banega Crorepati from the heavens. Despite so much effort being put into polishing the gags, the characters could be labelled one-toned at best.
Though overtly simplistic, the story still lands. The actors service the script in the most basic fashion without adding any of their natural flair to it. Imagine what that means for an actor of Devgn’s calibre or for leading man Sidharth Malhotra, who is fresh off the success of his last release, Shershaah. Thank God has nothing to rave about, but it is a classic feel-good movies that preaches in the most obvious way.
