A sequel to Akshay¡¯s 2012 satirical drama, this film reportedly deals with subjects of sex education and homosexuality.

The synopsis of the film reads, ¡°Life is bliss until one day Kanti Sharan Mudgal¡¯s son Vivek is blamed for immoral conduct and expelled from school. Overwhelmed, Kanti plans to leave town until a divine intervention leads him to seek justice by taking those responsible to court.¡±

Soon after the trailer of OMG 2 dropped, several users gave it a thumbs up.

One user wrote, ¡°Even though Akshay Kumar's role was changed, the story still looks promising. And the dialogue, "Rak Vishwas, Tu hai shiv ke pass." Just beautiful, I personally hope this becomes a blockbuster.¡±

¡°When the rest of the world was taking baby steps, Our Sanatan culture was running miles ahead of us... This Line literally touched my heart?. I'll watch this for sure. Especially for the fact that this movie will actually explain the liberalism and openness of our Vedic civilization. And how the toxic Conservatism ate our liberal and open Vedic culture. It needs real guts to show the conservatives of our society that sex education was a very integral part of ancient India. Blockbuster for sure.¡±

¡°Ohh man ...this is something incredible..the background music ..the performances....the dialogues......gave me goosebumps and made me excited at the same time .."

¡°Purity In This Trailer Is Its Biggest Weapon of It. What A Acting From Pankaj Tripathi. Seeing Akshay Kumar as Mahadev is Giving Me Goosebumps.¡±

¡°Tripathi Sahab gajab ki acting hai.¡±

Still very intrigued by #PankajTripathi and the arguments he will put forward in this courtroom drama. #OMG2 has gone through a crazy battle with modifications with its plot: it makes me more interested in its themes vs. the generic chest thumping & shouting of Gadar 2 pic.twitter.com/46oveuJoWR

For the unversed, OMG 2 was badly butchered by the Central Board of Film Certification for its sensitive subject.

News18 reported the changes as ¡°modified the entire portrayal of the character Shiv ji and presented him as a devotee and messenger of God. Also added a dialogue ¡®Nandi mere bhakt¡­ Jo agya prabhu," deleted of ¡®frontal nudity and suitably replaced with visual of Naga Sadhus¡¯ and removed the ¡®poster of Mood X condom on the billboard¡¯.¡±
