Know the latest about Ajay Devgn's 'Thank God' movie

The trailer of Indra Kumar’s religious satire Thank God was bound to raise some hackles. It showed Chitragupta who is the God of morality , quizzing earthling Siddharth Malhotra on his conduct as he awaits his place in heaven.

Sure enough, a petitioner from Uttar Pradesh Himanshu Srivastava has filed a case against director Indra Kumar and actors Ajay Devgan and Siddharth Malhotra for hurting religious sentiments.

One wonders why anyone would dare to attempt a religious satire in these sensitive times. Anybody could tell director Indra Kumar that religious satires were cancelled after Umesh Shukla’s Oh My God in 2013 got itself into trouble .

There was a time when audiences could actually laugh at the antics of Yamaraj in T Rama Rao’s Lok Parlok. That was in 1979.

Try pulling the same stunt today and you are finished.
