OMG 2

{{hatnote|Note: The original film had Akshay Kumar playing Lord Shiva but the censored theatrical version consists of him playing a messenger of Lord Shiva. This narrative is written in the censored release's context, treating Akshay's character as a messenger}}

Kanti Sharan Mudgal, a loyal devotee of Lord Shiva, owns a shop outside the city's prominent Mahakaal temple. One day, he is called to the hospital and told that his son Vivek has been up all night masturbating continuously until he fainted. Vivek's friend explains that Vivek was bullied about the size of his penis and due to this, he became insecure. Vivek was told that masturbating will make it bigger.

The school chairman Atal Nath Maheshwari tells Kanti about a recent video showing Vivek masturbating in the school restroom. As this is affecting the school's image, Vivek is expelled from the school and branded a sexual deviant. Kanti's friend, Pandey Ji, a rich priest at the temple, advises him to leave town as the situation is tarnishing their religious image. The video reaches Kanti's wife and daughter and their entire neighbourhood. They begin to be shamed and relentlessly mocked by society. Devastated, Kanti prays to Lord Shiva for help and Lord Shiva indeed arrives.

After a police complaint against Vivek for trying to confront his bully, The One meets Vivek and Kanti at the police station, saying he's there to lodge a complaint of his missing bag, where he comforts Vivek. Vivek tries to commit suicide twice but is saved by The One. He meets Kanti as they're about to leave town, and tells him that his son did nothing wrong, explaining that not everything done in privacy is wrong or obscene, but that he went too far regardless. It is the school's fault for reinforcing the stigma around sex, and failing to provide proper sex education. He advises Kanti to file a case against the school and the medical practitioners.

Kanti files a case against the school, the chemists, the doctor, the nurse, the janitor, and himself. When opposed with the fact that he is promoting vulgarity and pornography by defending his son's act, he holds the point in court that the Indian culture was always inclusive of conversations on sex through presenting multiple publications to get his case accepted. Pandey Ji asks Kanti to leave his given house and shop as this case will tarnish their religious image.

The opposition lawyer, Kamini Maheshwari says Kanti is doing all this to cover up his son's vulgar act. Kanti argues that if the school had included sex in their courses, his son wouldn't have been so misinformed. The One often visits to give Kanti indirect advice on how to continue the case.

Kamini calls a prostitute to court, whose son studies in the same school, to prove a point that the school is noble. Kanti asks the prostitute if she ever enjoys her work, to which she says no. Kanti says if the schools taught sex to young boys, they would know how to respect women and their hearts. He bows down to her calling her a brave mother and teacher.

As the case continues, Kanti points out issues regarding pornography, rape, pharmaceutical interventions, and the importance of protecting oneself against misinformation or abuse. Convinced by Kanti's research, the judge gives Kanti more time and eventually adjourns the hearing. Kanti then receives backlash for this, with legal actions from every part of the nation. The school chairman offers him one crore to take his case back. A distraught Kanti signs the contract, concerned by the legal actions faced. He gets into an accident and apparently dies. The One visits him in the hospital, who criticises his decision of losing faith, and finally reveals himself to be messenger of Lord Shiva. He shows Kanti that his efforts have come to light as Pandey Ji's granddaughter reveals that she had been molested by her uncle, thanks to Kanti's case being shown on TV. Kanti realises his mistake and is revived. The One teleports him to court.

At the final hearing, Vivek arrives for the first time and proves through his research that the British empire had altered India's education system, which was inclusive of sex education during that time period. Subsequently, several youngsters, including Vivek's friends, demand sex education, while Kamini is stunned and left speechless. With compelling evidence, the judge eventually sides with Kanti and he wins the case as the education board is ordered to make sex education in schools compulsory and payment be given to Kanti, and that Vivek be taken back into the school along with strict action against his bullies.

Kanti introduces the One to his family as "the doctor who treated him" and offers Him all the money instead of the temple. The One then reveals that the lost bag was his, and asks Vivek to keep it with him. He then says he has another patient to attend to, and drives away, leaving a happy Kanti with praying hands behind.

The Central Board of Film Certification advised 20 cuts in the film's screenplay and an (A) (Adults Only) certificate, as they deemed the film's subject matter, which deals with sex education in schools, along with God and religion, to be controversial and could possibly hurt the sentiments of the audience. It was also suggested that Kumar's character in the film, which was initially supposed to be that of Lord Shiva, to be changed to that of a "Messenger of God". The makers felt that this would spoil the essence of the film and limit its appeal and insisted on receiving an (U/A) (Unrestricted public exhibition subject to parental guidance for children below the age of twelve) certificate. The film was eventually passed by the Censor Board with an (A) (Adults Only) certificate with no cuts but with 25 modifications.{{Cite web |title=CBFC suggests 15-20 cuts for Akshay Kumar's 'OMG 2'.
