The big daddy is here. His 5 crore followers call him ‘Pitaji’. He can treat
anything & everything that medical science never gives even a second chance
to think about. Don’t get fooled by his multihued luminous dresses that could easily
give Govinda of 90’s a run for his money, his magical-miraculous superpowers
can beat all the anti-national masterminds coming together to stop him
promoting ‘say NO to drugs’ movement.
MSG- THE MESSENGER is a self-proclaimed film about Saint Gurmeet Ram
Rahim Singh Ji Insan, his social services and the massive fan-following behind
him working well as bouncy crowd in the film. It is nothing less than any
star-driven mass-entertainer in its lavish scale and self-indulgent attitude but
eventually a poorly conceived-badly executed audio-visual made to promote-propagate
and publicize the man himself. Unlike most of the mindless entertainers, here
only positive things are the social issues Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Ji Insan
raises his voice to but the intention gets over-shadowed by the glorification of
the man in such loud way you are left with no choice but to regret your
decision to spend any money on it.
‘Pitaji’ makes a heroic, slow-motion entry every time he enters the frame.
He utters dialogues on screen as if he’s addressing his fans in crores without
using any audio-instrument. Despite possessing a hulky-bulky physical built, he
can literally jump walls of any height or fly horizontally to kick goons. In one
of the funniest sequences, Pitaji breaks coconut by pressing it against his awfully
hairy upper arm muscles and offers the water from it to a TV reporter trying her
best to grill him with prejudiced allegations. You pity the lady not because
she’s made embarrassed but she had to sip the most unhygienic drink ever
offered to mankind.
The assassin here too is a brainless cartoon-ish villain carrying a
golden ‘boomerang’ ball with lethal chemical gas to kill crowds. Are we seeing
any inspiration from comic-book series ‘Chacha Chaudhary’ here? Of course, we
are! Look at the solution Pitaji could think of to counter! Chant the sacred
mantra aloud so that breathing air could divert the gas back to the assassin. No,
it’s not over! The evils have planted a female suicide bomber to Pitaji’s
ashram but no one has any clue about her; and that was the point I decided to
not test my tolerance for such idiocy anymore. The interval had made it easier
for me. I knew that nothing will happen to Pitaji since he had already made the
sequel ready for release.
As for as the recommendation is concerned, watch it if you really want to see how bad VFX work can get despite throwing hefty amount of money on it! Watch it if you are one of those followers with ‘Insan’ added to your name! Watch it if you have his songs in your mobile playlist! Watch it if you have ever donated any amount to Pitaji and his organization, MSG- THE MESSENGER is the most infertile outcome your contribution has created. I am hoping to watch the history getting made in coming few days as the 5 crore followers would sure make it a huge hit on the box-office. C’mon kids! Rush, Papa’s calling! Don’t bother to read reviews! I’m not even expecting you to!! [0.5/5]
