Oh My God (2012) is the first film to release from the newly launched production house Grazing Goat Pictures which is co-owned by Akshay Kumar. The film stars Kumar along with Paresh Rawal and Mithun Chakraborty in the leading roles and is all set to release at a cinema on 28th September 2012. According to its trailer, the film deals with a shopkeeper (Rawal) who strongly disbelieves in God. Consequently Kumar (who plays God in this film) sets out to alter his ways and beliefs. The soundtrack to this film has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya, who has given us recent soundtracks such as Bol Bachchan (2012) and the colossal hit Bodyguard (2011).
Plot :
Kanji Bhai doesn't believe in God. He is on a mission to prove God doesn't exist.
The lyrics are penned by Shabbir Ahmed, who has written songs for films such as Dangerous Ishhq (2012) and Luck (2009). So without further ado, let’s take a look at what the soundtrack to OMG Oh My God has to offer.
1. Don’t Worry (Hey Ram)
The first song is Don’t Worry (Hey Ram), a duet by Benny Dayal and Reshammiya. With elements taken from the song Dum Maaro Dum from Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971), this is not really a captivating up-tempo track which will have a spellbinding effect on the listener. In terms of vocal and musical quality. There is nothing distinctive about it and it follows the typical drum and bass method which we hear in all remixes. For that reason, the Remix of Don’t Worry (Hey Ram) is more of a skip worthy track in my opinion compared to the original version.

2. Mere Nishaan
The next track on the album is Mere Nishaan, sung by Kailash Kher. Although the song is powerfully performed by Kher and contains the use of classical instruments such as the Tabla and the Indian flute within a modern composition which uses violins, guitars and rock elements (which I loved), this is a track which will divide listeners. They will either love it or skip it! I am certain that hard-core fans of Kailash Kher will enjoy this song and appreciate his melodious voice and the musical arrangement. However, It is a song which people are likely to forget after the film has released. Check Out Lyrics of all Songs of OMG Oh My God Movie here on MouthShut itself.

3. Tu Hi Tu
Tu Hi Tu is next, which is performed by Mohd. Irfan. Given that there are four versions in the album, as well as a short instrumental theme, it is likely that this song is an integral part of the film. A devotional song to the Hindu deity Krishna, it has a modern flavour with bass and the mild use of electric guitars which listeners, especially Hindu followers, will find catchy and enjoyable. Yet the lyrics stand out more than the music itself and for that reason. Check Out Lyrics of all Songs of OMG Oh My God Movie here on MouthShut itself.

4. Go Go Govinda
The highlight of this soundtrack is definitely Go Go Govinda, performed by Shreya Ghoshal and Mika Singh. With samples taken from the song Govinda Aala Re Aala from the 1963 film Bluff Master, this song is most likely to be the one which will stay in your head for a while. Ghoshal provides us with vivacious vocals which will make you want to sing along with her. Sonakshi Sinha has brilliantly mimed to Ghoshal’s parts in the music video and the choreography displayed also perfectly complements this song. Yet if it is one thing that I was expecting when I heard this track in full, it was more vocals from Singh. It is really Ghoshal who carries this song and without her, the song would not have garnered the attention which it has already done so far. It is apparent when listening to this track that it has been thoughtfully and energetically composed by Reshammiya and the trumpets and drums are no doubt difficult to erase from your head.

5. Hari Bol
The final feature song is Hari Bol, which is sung by Kirti Sagathia. This is perhaps the weakest track in the album. There are too many instruments being used in this one song alone which includes drums, bass, trumpets, bells and more! With the vocals included also, this makes the song a little too overwhelming to listen to. A track which I think listeners should skip as it will fall into the back of your minds.

Overall, it is unlikely that the soundtrack to OMG Oh My God will be forever cherished in one’s music collection. With the exception of Go Go Govinda, the rest of the tracks in the album cannot be labelled as Reshammiya’s best works. He has composed far greater albums in the past which have left a more lasting impression on me and perhaps on other listeners too.
