Ajay Devgn recalls the reason he said ‘yes’ to Thank God on the day of its world television premiere

THANK GOD is the story of a man who has a life-changing experience. Ayaan Kapoor (Sidharth Malhotra) was a successful person in the field of real estate. After the demonetization episode of 2016, he suffered a huge loss. In the present day, he’s on the verge of selling his bungalow.... He resides with his wife Ruhi Kapoor (Rakul Preet Singh), an inspector, and daughter Pihu (Kiara Khanna). Ayaan is temperamental and gets angry at them for the flimsiest of reasons. He’s also stressed as he’s unable to find a buyer for his house. One day, he is driving speedily when a biker comes in front of him unexpectedly. Ayaan looks back to abuse him. This is when he clashes with another car and meets with a terrible accident. When Ayaan regains consciousness, he finds himself in the company of Yamdoot (Mahesh Balraj) and CG (Ajay Devgn). CG informs him that physically, he’s right now in the hospital. He also tells him that he can survive, provided he plays the ‘Game of Life’ and comes out with flying colours. The rules of the game are simple: two narrow cylinders are placed on either side of Ayaan. He will be given certain tasks. If he fails in the task, the audience watching the game will throw black balls into one cylinder and if he succeeds, they’ll shower the other cylinder with white balls. If the cylinder with black balls overflows, he’ll be thrown into hell. If the other cylinder with white balls overflows, he’ll survive. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
