Well so on one hand you have a writer of prolific comedies- Rumi Jaffrey making his directorial debut, on the other hand you have some of the best talent possible- Amitabh Bachchan,Salman Khan,Priyanka Chopra and for a subject- you have "inspiration" in the form of Bruce Almighty.
So the end result- God Tussi Great Ho must be great right?No you are terribly wrong.
Apart from being a blatant take off from Bruce Almighty ( and Rumi has the guts to say its not inspired) it also has drwan inspiration from movies like Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya.Salman plays a T.V reporter who keeps falling in trouble & blames God for the same.He is in love with his colleague, Priyanka Chopra but as usual does not have the guts to say it.
Sohail Khan an old friend of Priyanka joins the same T.V Channel & now both start vying for the same girl. One fine day when things go completely bad for Salman ( he gets thrown out of his job) he literally shouts at God & now its God's ( Big B) turn to meet up with Salman & find out why he's upset.When Salman says God doesnt understand human psyche & that he could do a better job as God, his wish is granted as Big B makes him God for 10 days.
Well in the 1st 9 days Salman goes about setting right his personal & professional life and finally when he hands over power to Big B after his ways of managing the world, he realises that God's work cannot be done by a human & asks for forgiveness. That's the basic crux of the film's plot. Salman seems to have sleep walked his way as this is a cake walk of a role for him. Big B & Priyanka hardly have much to do, Sohail continues what he left off in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, Anupam Kher is good.
A whole host of talented actors like Rajpal Yadav, Dalip Tahil, Rajesh Puri etc are all completely wasted. Sajid-Wajid always give their best for Salman's movies ( all of us still remember the songs from Partner) but this time they seem to have been clearly disinterested.Tujhe Aksa beach ghoomaon is the only hummable number ( typical Salman tapori number). On the whole this is one meal which could have gone right but somehow ends up making you feel dissatisfied.
Rating- 1.5/5 ( Movie wouldnt do well at the multiplexes, should do better at single screens of smaller towns especially in North).
