Which social issues were addressed in OMG and OMG 2?

The story of OMG is based on the Gujarati stage play Kanji Virudh Kanji, which serves as a critique of organised religion and the commercialisation of faith in India. Starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, the film's central theme advocates a "God-loving" rather than a "God-fearing" devotion, encouraging individuals to find God within themselves and humanity, not through rituals, idols, or intermediaries (god-men).

It is a thought-provoking satire that uses humour to question blind faith and emphasises the importance of rationality and helping the poor rather than donating huge amounts of money to temples.

On the other hand, OMG 2, starring Akshay, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam, follows Kanti Sharan Mudgal (Pankaj Tripathi), a devout Shiva follower, as he fights a defamation lawsuit against his son's school after the boy is bullied for a sex education-related incident, with a divine messenger (Akshay Kumar) aiding him in court.

It explores themes of sex education, misinformation, divine intervention, and challenging social taboos in a powerful courtroom drama. This film highlights the important need for proper sex education in schools, contrasting it with misinformation and stigma.
