'Thank God' Twitter reviews: Ajay Devgn starrer receives mixed response
What's the story
Ajay Devgn-Rakul Preet Singh-Sidharth Malhotra starrer Thank God was released in theaters on Tuesday (October 25).
It has been directed by Indra Kumar.
It clashed with Akshay Kumar's Ram Setu, an adventure drama directed by Abhishek Sharma.
Despite the box office battle, Thank God's prospects look decent since it's a comic caper and is targeting family audiences.
Here's what Twitter users thought of it.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Thank God has the potential of being a crowd-puller because of its genre, and due to Devgn's immense fan following.
Moreover, since Devgn has earlier shone brightly in comedies such as the Golmaal series and All The Best, it is expected that he'll recreate the same magic.
Kumar's association also heightens expectations, since his body of work includes the Masti and the Dhamaal franchise.
Postitive reactions
Devgn's powerful performance seems to have stolen the show
Several Twitter users posted about catching the first-day first show of Thank God, and were elated that the film provided the kind of entertainment they were looking for during an extended weekend!
One user wrote, "The film surprised me quite a lot and I am happy that it didn't waste my time. Really enjoyed the film."
They also added, "Ajay Devgn was eye-catching."

Negative reactions
Some viewers had a gripe with the 'senseless comedy'
However, not everyone enjoyed the movie, and many bashed it for its "senseless jokes" and "outdated, cliche attempt at humor."
Some viewers also expressed their disappointment over Rakul Preet Singh being "completely wasted," while others have said that "comedy is not Sidharth Malhotra's forte, he looks confused as always."
However, Devgn's performance has been described as a show-stealer even in unfavorable reactions.
