# Ohh My Dog review: 2.5-3.5 stars, family-friendly but predictable 2026-08-07T10:53:55+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Ohh My Dog, starring Pankaj Tripathi and child actor Mahi Rai, has opened to mixed reviews. Hindustan Times gives it 2.5 stars, calling it clean and family-friendly but too predictable, with a mystery solved by convenient writing rather than clever plotting. The New Indian Express awards 3.5 stars, praising the emotional depth and the dog Oscar's central performance, though it acknowledges the plot sometimes stretches belief. Directed by Amit Rai, the film follows two separated pups, Momo and Oscar, and their human families searching for them across Assam and Bihar. Both reviewers note the sincere acting, particularly Geeta Aggarwal and the canine cast, and the refreshing lack of crude humour. But they agree the pacing sags and the child prodigy's detective skills are overly convenient. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - newindianexpress.com Tags: Bollywood, family film, movie review, Ohh My Dog, Pankaj Tripathi Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ohh-my-dog-review-pankaj-tripathi-starrer-predictable-but-clean-family-fare/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
