Hollywood movie "Frank vs. God" is seemingly similar to the Bollywood movie, "OMG: Oh My God"
Frank vs. God, directed my Stewart Schill, with lead as Henry Ian Cusik was initially released in 2014, but it hasn't released in India yet.
IMDb rated it as 7.9/10.
The plot summery as given in IMDb is :-
- When we meet David Frank he is a mess. His spirit shattered by the death of his wife, this formerly successful corporate attorney spends days in his bathrobe with his only real companion, his beloved bulldog, Brutus. While David's away a tornado hits and despite his heroic efforts, he watches helplessly as the dark funnel of destruction sucks up the house, and Brutus, like some Wizard of Oz nightmare - the punishing finger of God. Then, adding insult to injury, the Insurance Company tells him they won't pay because the damage falls under the 'Act of God' clause in his policy. David is livid. But then he gets the bright idea to sue God and His representatives as co-defendants. After a farcical yet poignant series of depositions, the trial commences. Fueled by a megalomaniac and opportunistic judge, a beautiful but damaged defense attorney, and David Frank's own sharply-honed legal gymnastics, the "God Trial" stirs up a frenzy of passions. What starts as a crazy, radical stunt ultimately becomes a very deep and soulful journey.- Written by Anonymous
Whereas, OMG: Oh My God, directed by Umesh Shukla, and with Paresh Rawal as lead released in 2012, two years before Frank vs. God.
also, IMDb rated it as 8.3/10.
The plot summery as given in IMDb is :-
- Kanji Lalji Mehta, though an atheist, owns a small shop selling religious goods, concocting cock-and-bull stories to extract higher fees from his customers for his wares. When, in openly defying God, an earthquake destroys his (and only his) only source of income, with the insurance company refusing to pay up on the basis of it being an 'act of God', Kanjibhai takes God to the court. With many similarly unfortunate people pinning their hopes to him, Kanji's lack of courtroom experience may leave him unable to prove his point - that is, until approached by a man introducing himself as Krishna Vasudeva Yadav. Krishna helps Kanji win his case, his family and helps him find his faith in God, along the way showing how priests can turn religion into a business and that God can be found everywhere, particularly in a house of worship.- Written by srijanarora-152-448595 / revised by statmanjeff
As a spectator, both the movies, particularly plot summaries seem alarmingly similar.
