The Story in Brief
Ohh My Dog, directed by Amit Rai, tells the story of two pups, Momo and Oscar, separated soon after birth, and their owners who search for them when the dogs go missing. The film stars Pankaj Tripathi in a special appearance, alongside Pawan Malhotra, Maahi Rai, and Geeta Aggarwal, and has been rated 2.5 stars by Hindustan Times.
The reviewer notes the film's refreshingly clean and family-friendly content, with no scenes unsuitable for children. However, the screenplay is criticised for being predictable, with conveniences such as a child prodigy outsmarting an entire police force, and repetitive gags like an entire police force being terrified of a dog. The pacing also slows in stretches, and Pankaj Tripathi's role offers him little to do.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy narrative around Ohh My Dog is that being 'wholesome' and 'clean' makes it a success for family audiences, but that discounts the fact that a film must still tell a compelling story. The 'dogs are great, humans are funny' trope has been done better in films like Hachi or even local hits. The real test is whether the film can hold an adult's attention without relying on convenience. Did the director trust the audience enough to write a tighter script, or did he just bank on the dogs' cuteness to carry the film? That question answers itself.
