MSG: The Messenger received mostly negative reviews from critics, who accused it of being a propaganda film promoting Singh's teachings, while also severely criticizing its quality.[10] It was also controversial for being allegedly insulting towards Sikhs.[11][5][6] Box office estimates indicated that the film grossed approximately {{INRConvert|16.65|c}} on a budget of {{INRConvert|30|c}}, although the film's producers claimed that it had grossed {{INRConvert|126|c}}[7][4] It was followed the same year by a direct sequel, MSG-2 The Messenger, and later by two other films, The Warrior Lion Heart and Hind Ka Napak Ko Jawab, with Singh similarly involved in all of them. SynopsisGuruji (Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh) is a spiritual leader who has a huge follower base. He has accepted the challenge of eradicating social evils including drugs and gender-related issues that have been prevailing in the society. Those with vested interests and apathetic towards the welfare of the society are now disturbed as there's someone who has taken control of the situation. They conspire to kill him.[8] Cast
ProductionThe film was shot at various locations of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala. The movie also features 1 million, three hundred-thousand extras. The film was completed in 67 days. The cast had almost no training in film or acting. For the song 'Never Ever' about 125,000 performers continued their shot for three days, and on a count of three, 70 thousand candles were lit within 45 seconds.[9] Singh held a three-day concert at the Shah Satnam Ji Stadium in Sirsa, Haryana, from 16 August, which is part of the movie. CertificationThe film was denied a release certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification and was sent to a revising committee. The members of the Central Board of Film Certification objected to the portrayal of Singh as a God in the movie.[10] On 15 January 2015 the film was cleared for screening by the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal. Singh denied that he had called himself God in the film (at the time the film was titled, MSG: Messenger of God). He further added that there was nothing objectionable in his film and that the Central Board of Film Certification had muted just two words.[11] Punjab and Haryana High Court also allowed the release of the film.[12] The film was fully cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification with a U Certificate and released on 13 February 2015.[13] PromotionThe trailer of the film was released on 19 December 2014 and crossed over 1 million views on YouTube within 24 hours.[14] On 16 January 2015, MSG: The Messenger premiered at Leisure Valley ground, a large park in Gurgaon city used for exhibitions and conventions. A team from Asia Book and India Book of Records recorded the official number of people gathered as 157,231 for the promotion.[15] ReceptionCritical responseThe film received mostly negative reviews.[16] Criticism focused on the self-aggrandizing nature of the film. Raja Sen, writing for Rediff, refused to rate the movie. "This is not a movie," he said. He described the film as a "propaganda piece" for "self-styled spiritual leader" Singh, and stated that the film "might be a theatrical release, but this can, by no means, be called a piece of cinema."[17] The Indian Express described the film as "excruciatingly awful only for non believers."[18] DNA called the film "three hours of torture so painful that you start laughing at yourself".[19] Rohit Vats reviewing for Hindustan Times urged readers to "watch it only if your survival depended on it".[20] Bollywood Hungama stated that the film "can be watched once... purely for the dynamics and the histrionics of the endearing Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan".[21] Times of India rated it one out of five stars, commenting that "the one star is strictly for Babaji's intriguing choice of outfits. A multi-coloured crochet two-piece (tight tees and knee-length pants) takes the cake."[22] Box officeThe box office gross of the movie has been contested. Bollywood Hungama, Box Office India, and other industry sources reported figures as low as {{INRconvert|10|c}}, while sources associated with the film reported results as high as {{INRconvert|120|c}}.[23][24][25][26] A report by the Business Standard gave tentative opening day figures of {{INRconvert|2.5|c}}, citing the limited appeal to non-believers, distribution to less expensive theatres, and competition from Roy as reasons for the relatively weak opening. The 2015 Cricket World Cup, which kicked off the following day, was also expected to detract from later ticket sales.[27] ProtestsVarious Sikh groups protested the release of the movie and demanded that it be banned on the basis that it was offensive to Sikhs.[28][29][30] However, a Dera Sacha Sauda spokesperson responded, "There is nothing against which the protests need to be done."[28] Soundtrack{{Infobox album| name = MSG: The Messenger | type = Soundtrack | longtype = to MSG The Messenger | artist = {{unbulleted list|Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh|Amarpreet Insan}} | cover = | alt = | caption = Soundtrack cover | released = {{Start date|df=yes|2015|1|7}}[31] | recorded = | venue = | studio = | genre = Feature Film Soundtrack | length = {{Duration|m=32|s=16}} | label = Sony Music India | producer = Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh | prev_title = | prev_year = | next_title = | next_year = }} The music was composed by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, and a sequence of the movie takes place as a live concert. The soundtrack album consists of 7 songs, all written and sung by Singh, himself.[32][33] Track listing
