Story

Arun Prajapati (Salman Khan) has been trying to be a successful TV anchor, but success has always eluded him. He blames God (Amitabh Bachchan) for this lack of success. Arun is head over heels in love with Aaliya Khanna (Priyanka Chopra), who is a TV anchor and a well-known star working in the same channel, but he has never been able to express his love for her.

When Rocky (Sohail Khan) is appointed as an anchor for the channel, Arun starts believing that Rocky will win Aaliya. Later, Arun is sacked from the channel. He has nobody to blame but God Himself, whom he later meets in person. An argument ensues between the two, at the end of which God then decides to give Arun the power over all things for ten days, wherein Arun may prove that he is a better operator of the universe.

Arun uses this power to put Rocky into an uneasy spot and win Aaliya's heart. After God scolds him for only making things better for himself, Arun starts listening to people's prayers. He later realizes that considering each person's wishes individually would be too time-consuming, so to save time and effort he grants everybody's wishes, including the wish of criminals to be free and Rocky's wish that Aaliya marries him.

He later asks God why is everything happening towards him. God explains it is his own fault and that everyone cannot blame Him for this. Arun feels bad, but God forgives him and starts his life over again. During the game show, he tricks Rocky into lying about loving Aaliya Khanna (who was present on the show, as it was the channel "Zoop"'s first game show), and Aaliya turns on him. Arun wins the heart of Aaliya.

Did you know?

1. Writer 'Rumi Jaffery''s directional debut.
2. Director Rumi Jaffery denied his movie was a remake of Bruce Almighty before the film released; and claimed this was inspired by an Indian folktale about a Brahmin.
3. Rumi Jaffery only stepped into direction due to encouragement from Amitabh Bachchan and 'Salman Khan' who signed on to play key roles too.
4. The film took over 3 years to release due to various reasons/rumors from 'Salman Khan' being arrested, Khan and Priyanka Chopra not getting along with each other and Amitabh Bachchan falling ill, amongst other unconfirmed reasons.
5. Originally the movie was titled 'God is Great'; 'Salman Khan' suggested it needed a Indian touch and suggested 'God Tussi Great Ho'. The word Tussi simply means 'you' in Punjabi.
6. Authorities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ordered a ban on the movie as many Muslim viewers felt that the movie violated Islamic teachings of a man blaming god for all the things which aren't going right for him and also that a man (Amitabh Bachchan) enacted the role of God. The main reason why the viewers were unhappy was due to the creator of the film himself is Muslim.
7. Yash Tonk was signed for the second lead role, but he did the shooting for 4 days and decided to drop out of the project as he got busy with TV work. Sohail Khan was roped in on the last minute.
8. 'Salman Khan' was apparently unimpressed with the initial promo snippets and got the marketing team to create new promos.
