After OMG 2, director Amit Rai has brought a new concept with Ohh My Dog. Amit puts loyalty at the center of a crime story and lets dogs lead the way. Split across Assam and Bihar, the film follows a boy searching for his missing pet and a dog refusing to give up on his vanished human.
With real trained animals driving the emotion, the movie tackles smuggling and trafficking without speeches, choosing quiet persistence over drama. It’s ambitious, uneven at times, but anchored by sincerity and a simple belief: devotion doesn’t quit.
Two chases, one thread: When dogs don’t give up
Ohh My Dog tells two separate stories that never meet on screen, but are held together by one idea: a dog refusing to let go. In Assam, ‘Apu’ and his companion ‘Momo’ are a pair. One afternoon, ‘Apu’ throws a ball out the window so ‘Momo’ can fetch it. The dog doesn’t return.
A routine worry quickly turns serious when a visit to the police station brings up talk of an illegal trade targeting dogs. ‘Apu’s’ mother is told to brace for the worst. ‘Apu’ doesn’t. With his teacher Krishna supporting him, he starts tracking leads himself, using whatever he can find to look for ‘Momo.’ For him, this is personal, not a cause.
In Bihar, the focus shifts to ‘Prince,’ a young man who vanishes without warning. His dog ‘Oscar’ won’t stop. Where people get stuck, ‘Oscar’ keeps moving by following trails, raising noise, and eventually pulling other street dogs into the effort. ‘Prince’s’ friends ask ‘Masterji’ for help, and the local inspector gets involved, though the force itself is tied to a darker operation around organ trade in the city.
Director Amit Rai keeps both plots apart. The story set in Assam can be considered a kid’s stubborn search against heavy odds. The plot set in Bihar can be considered as an instinct taking over where systems fall short. There are no big speeches about the crimes in the background. The film just shows how smuggling and trafficking shape the world these characters are moving through, and keeps the camera on the rescue itself.
Because the stories don’t intersect, the pull comes from watching two kinds of resolve at once. You’re not waiting for a reveal to link them. You’re watching to see if care and consistency can win out over fear and rot.
Animals in front, people behind them
This film puts dogs at the center and builds everything around them. The main characters lead scenes with expression, movement, and timing. Choosing real trained dogs instead of VFX gives the movie a grounded feel. The strongest bits are small: a dog refusing to leave a scent, a boy calling into the night, a pack responding to one bark.
Newcomer Maahi Rai plays ‘Apu.’ He’s most effective in the quiet moments where he is waiting, searching, and letting disappointment show without overdoing it. Geeta Agarwal as his mother carries the burden of saying difficult things out loud while still hoping. Sulakhyana Baruah as ‘Krishna’ is the adult who backs the plan instead of dismissing it.
In Bihar, Pankaj Tripathi’s ‘Masterji’ has limited screen time but gives the kids a steady place to go. Pawan Malhotra comes in later and brings drive as a cop who actually wants to do the job. The villains work because they’re played with casual cruelty. The inspector and his team make the corruption feel tangible.
The film reaches for a lot. It frames itself as a thriller led by dogs and folds in smuggling, organ trade, and the bond within street packs. That’s a lot to carry, and at times the pace slows and the urgency dips. A tighter focus might have hit harder, but Rai chooses to run both tracks.
The score lifts the tense parts without pushing too hard, and the songs add softness to balance the heavier material. The point of the film stays consistent: to show what dogs give to people, and to put that on screen without turning them into props.
Ohh My Dog is sincere and at times moving. It doesn’t chase clever twists. It stays with loyalty. Because of its scope, it misses some sharpness, but it leaves you with the main idea intact. When everything else stops, devotion keeps going.
For anyone who lives with a dog, this is the kind of film you watch with them beside you. It may not be flawless, but it’s made with a clear purpose: to remind us who’s been with us through all of it.
