Dialogue: Rumi Jaffery
Story Writer: Rumi Jaffery

“God Tussi Great Ho “has the spontaneous performance of Salman Khan but the depiction of script is a problem. Comedy is non uniform in the film and a few scenes are impressively acceptable. The songs of the film are choreographed well but the songs are rather disappointing for not being innovative. The script of the film is not new as it is taken from Hollywood flick “Bruce Almighty” that was released in 2003 and it had Jim Carrey and Morgan Freeman in the lead roles. The Hollywood film was directed by Tom Shadyac.
