OMG2

 

OMG 2 is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film about sex education in India, written and directed by Amit Rai. The film was theatrically released on 11 August 2023 to positive reviews from critics.

The original film had Akshay Kumar playing Lord Shiva but the censored theatrical version consists of him playing a messenger of Lord Shiva. This narrative is written in the censored release's context, treating Akshay's character as a messenger

Kanti Sharan Mudgal, a loyal devotee of Lord Shiva, owns a shop outside the city's prominent Mahakaal temple. One day, he is called to the hospital and told that his son Vivek has been up all night masturbating continuously until he fainted. Vivek's friend explains that Vivek was bullied about the size of his penis and due to this, he became insecure. Vivek was told that masturbating will make it bigger.

The school chairman Atal Nath Maheshwari tells Kanti about a recent video showing Vivek masturbating in the school restroom. As this is affecting the school's image, Vivek is expelled from the school. Kanti's friend, Pandey Ji, a rich priest at the temple, advises him to leave town as the situation is tarnishing their religious image. The video reaches Kanti's wife and daughter and their entire neighborhood. They begin to be shamed by society. Devastated, Kanti prays to Lord Shiva for help and a Messenger sent by Lord Shiva arrives.

After a police complaint against Vivek for trying to murder his bully, The Messenger meets Vivek and Kanti at the police station, saying he's there to lodge a complaint of his missing bag, where he comforts Vivek. Vivek tries to commit suicide twice but is saved by The Messenger. He meets Kanti as they're about to leave town, and tells him that his son did nothing wrong, explaining that not everything done in privacy is wrong or obscene. It is the school's fault for not educating him properly and Kanti's fault for not guiding him properly. He advises Kanti to file a case against the school and the medical practitioners.

Kanti files a case against the school, the chemists, the doctor, and himself. When opposed with the fact that he is just promoting vulgarity by defending his son's act, he holds the point in court that Hinduism and Indian culture was always inclusive of conversations on sex to get his case accepted. Pandey Ji asks Kanti to leave his given house and shop as this case will tarnish their religious image.

The opposition lawyer, Kamini Maheshwari says Kanti is doing all this to cover up his son's vulgar act. Kanti argues that if the school had included sex education in their courses, his son wouldn't have been so misinformed. The Messenger often visits to give Kanti indirect advice on how to continue the case.

Kamini calls a sex worker to court, whose son studies in the same school, to prove a point that the school is noble. Kanti asks the prostitute if she ever enjoys her work, to which she says that those ignorant men don't know anything about a woman's body and how to treat it with respect. Kanti says if the schools taught sex education to young boys, they'd know how to respect a woman's body. He bows down to her calling her a brave mother and teacher.

As the case continues, Kanti points out issues regarding pornography, rape, drugs, and the importance of sex education. The school chairman offers him ten million (one crore) to take his case back. Kanti signs the contract. He gets into an accident and apparently dies. The Messenger visits him in the hospital, who criticises his decision of losing faith, and finally reveals himself to be a divine manifestation sent by Lord Shiva. He shows Kanti that his efforts have come to light as Pandey Ji's granddaughter reveals that she had been molested by her uncle, thanks to Kanti's case being shown on TV. Kanti realises his mistake and is revived. The Messenger drives him to court.

At the hearing, Vivek arrives for the first time and proves through his research that colonisers ruined India's education system, which was actually inclusive of sex education in the ancient times. Kanti wins the case as the education board is ordered to make sex education compulsory and payment be given to Kanti, and Vivek be taken back into the school.

Kanti introduces the Messenger to his family as "the doctor who treated him" and offers Him all the money instead of the temple. The Messenger then reveals that the lost bag was his, and asks Vivek to keep it with him. He then says he has another patient to attend to, and drives away, leaving a happy Kanti with praying hands behind.
