Tussi boring ho
The only time we allowed ourselves a wry smile throughout the180-minute torture called God Tussi Great Ho was when Sohail Khan’s character Rocky, a bumbling idiot trying desperately to be cool, reprimands Salman Khan’s Arun Prajapati, saying: “Be original, yaar”! Ironical, because God Tussi Great Ho has nothing going for it in terms of originality. While it’s no secret that this Rumi Jaffrey film is a rip-off from the Jim Carrey- Morgan Freeman starrer Bruce Almighty, the creatively-challenged team of God Tussi Great Ho manages to make even a direct lift from a laugh riot unbearably boring, from start to finish.
Just like Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey) in Bruce Almighty, Salman’s Arun Prajapati is a down-on-his luck television anchor who seems to wake up on the wrong side of the bed 365 days of the year. Nothing goes right for AP — his programmes are a huge flop, his car breaks down almost every day and no one wants to marry his not-so-fair sister, his father (Anupam Kher) constantly berates him for being a failure and his colleague (Priyanka Chopra) really considers him to be just a friend. Failed and frustrated, AP is convinced that the blame for all his misery should rest squarely on the shoulders of one individual — God himself. And when he loses his job after yet another flop programme idea involving a lie-detecting chair (!), AP reaches the end of his tether — abusing, screaming, raving and ranting at the Almighty until God a.k.a Amitabh Bachchan himself makes an appearance and gives him the chance to set things right — by slipping into his (substantially large) shoes for 10 days.
That sounds cool, doesn’t it? Yes, for Bruce Almighty; not quite for God Tussi Great Ho. If Nolan used his divine powers to make for some delightfully comic moments— making his dog read a newspaper, giving a boost to his girlfriend’s assets and ‘parting’ his soup in a bowl — what does AP do? Gets his car repainted, takes his sister to a skin-care clinic and wins a game of pool against arch-rival Rocky. Now why do you have to be God to do all that? Even in scenes directly lifted from the original — like the one in which Bruce ‘pulls’ the moon closer to impress his lady-love — God Tussi Great Ho botches up big time. It has none of Bruce Almighty’s crisp one-liners or the bordering-on-the-brazen Jim Carrey brand of humour. And the ‘with great power comes greater responsibility’ message which was so endearingly communicated in the original is a five-minute lecture here... yawwwwn.
With his idiosyncratic ways and bizarre facial expressions, Salman would have been the perfect candidate to slip into Carrey’s ‘mask.’ But Sallu sleep-walks through this one. He may be playing bhoot in one film and God in the next, but Bachchan won’t be seen anywhere without his Reid and Taylor suits. And he tries so hard to do a Morgan Freeman that it shows. Priyanka does well but gives Vidya Balan tough competition in the poor-dressing department. Sohail Khan and Rajpal Yadav need to take a long holiday after this one. A forgettable music score by Sajid-Wajid with songs popping up like an Internet window ever so often, add to the torture. The garish sets make it worse.
For director Rumi Jaffrey — who has penned hits like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge — God Tussi Great Ho is a poor debut. To borrow the famous words of a certain Bruce Nolan: “Now that’s the way the cookie crumbles.”
In Short : Want to be shocked? Watch Bruce Almighty being mirrored and murdered.
