If I had to watch Bruce Almighty in Hindi I would have bought the dubbed Hindi DVD of the original movie. It is such an insult to audience of Indian films to show them a cheap copy of a popular and recent Hollywood movie. I am all willing to see “inspired from hollywood” material if it is well made and properly presented. Even though ‘God Tusi Great Ho‘ has some moments of charm but thats only because of the talented and the most experienced actors of the film industry that were casted into badly sketched roles. Salman Khan looked a 44 year old uncle trying to act juvenile it was a pathetic and shameless display of attempts on being funny. Priyanka Chopra was just looking good which is all she needs to stay in the business. Amitabh Bachchan, well now he is the icon of the Indian Film Industry but I think he should really retire now or at least save his enegies for world tours and advertisements. His attempts on acting God, were pathetic and it was too obvious that he wasn’t even half heartedly interested in the role he was playing.

Check out Rajeev Masand’s review of the movie on CNN-IBN, he writes:

Written and directed by Rumi Jaffery, the man credited with writing some of David Dhawan’s most entertaining films—Coolie No 1, Hero No 1 and Judwaa—God Tussi Great Ho is ultimately a colossal bore.

SearchIndia reviewed it as outright theft and ugly as hell in their review:

Although these two dinosaurs Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan have been around in Bollywood for a gazillion years, yet their performance in God Tussi Great Ho is not even a millionth as good as that of Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty.

Rediff called it Fake:

Instead the rehash is as loud as its interior decoration, as uncool as Salman Khan’s wardrobe, as ugly as Priyanka Chopra’s nose-ring, and as brain-dead as Sohail Khan’s performance.
