Critic Consensus

OMG 2 receives a broadly positive but mixed reception, with most critics acknowledging its social relevance and willingness to tackle sex education as a subject with sincerity. Akshay Kumar's performance draws specific praise from multiple reviewers, and several critics found the film entertaining and thought-provoking. However, a recurring criticism is that the film leans heavily on dialogue and risks feeling preachy or verbose, with some noting it lacks depth in its commentary despite its good intentions. Technical shortcomings including shabby CGI and weak editing are also flagged, and at least one critic found the satire too simplistic to deliver meaningful impact.

It's been a while since I enjoyed an Akshay Kumar performance as much as this one. And I haven't been taken by surprise as much as I was in OMG 2, in the best way possible.

OMG 2 is a simplistic satire that, despite lively performances from Akshay Kumar, fails to deliver meaningful commentary on its subject matter.

OMG 2 is a bold, powerful, progressive, and sensitively handled film.

Funny & thought-provoking, OMG 2 outshines the original. This courtroom comedy on sex education is entertaining and socially relevant.

Having watched the film now, I can safely say, they managed to tackle the subject with sensitivity and force you to think as well. OMG 2 is unlike OMG: Oh My God...OMG 2 is heavy on dialogue and serious. Although it could feel preachy, it deserves a watch.

7.0
All said and done, this film is brilliant in the 'must-talk-about' concept which tries to achieve things conveniently. Every frame tries to remind you of the first one because it falters mostly every single time.

5.0
The film is like an argument for the sake of argument. Some of the points are intelligently presented, and there are bursts of genuine humour, but the film that is otherwise a lot of verbiage, without saying much.

OMG 2 is a better film than Ram Setu— it has the candour and charm of fantasy — but it also resorts to predictable Macaulay-bashing near the end to explain the flaws of Indian society. The film could have been shot and edited better (the CGI, too, looks shabby).

Reviewing this film is confusing mostly because its intentions are so firmly in the right place. OMG 2 ends up being a well-intentioned film that could've used more research.
