It seems trade pundits were right when they declared in the
beginning of 2012 that the year is going to belong to Akshay Kumar. The
actor has again made his presence felt with 'Oh My God'.
The film has opened to mainly positive reviews with most of the
critics praising the film for its unique central theme. If 'OMG' becomes
commercially successful then it will be Akshay's third hit film in the
same year.
Though Akshay Kumar is not the hero of the film but his cameo is
worth watching. He is one of those under-rated actors of Bollywood who
have done well in certain genres in the past but have never received the
kind of appreciation they deserved.
However, the situation has changed for Akshay in last couple of
years. Due to a bankable niche audience base, he has emerged as one of
the reliable actors for the producers.
His last film 'Joker' bombed at the box office but prior to it he
had given two big hits. 'Housefull 2' had a huge starcast but Akshay's
comic skills made the film watchable. His return to action proved to be
lucky in 'Rowdy Rathore'. The film set the cash registers ringing.
'OMG' is getting good word of mouth publicity and is likely to
attract more audiences during the weekend, and thus Akshay would be
hoping for another hit in 2012.
