While other films have come and gone, MSG-The Messenger still shines in over 500 screens all across India. Hakikat Entertainment confirmed that the gross collection was 126 crores by the end of second week. Considering the forces that conspired very hard to stop the movie, added to the fact that major territories like Punjab and Uttarakhand did not allow the movie to be screened, this is a sizable achievement especially when one considers that mainstream Bollywood fare has paled in comparison. Also, where the industry claims losses to the tune of 250 Crores due to the ongoing cricket World Cup, MSG stands tall.
Also, the anti- MSG drug and political mafia worked overtime to distribute pirated CD’s to reduce the number of theatre goers, reveal industry insiders. While it may have significantly dented revenues, but the over activity of the piracy circuit in itself is a proof of the mega success of the movie.
The movie has faced a sustained disinformation campaign from vested interests but who can be a better source of information on the movies’ than the distributors themselves.
“The response to the showcasing of the film MSG has been overwhelming. On opening with 500 shows across the PVR chain and further increasing this capacity on public demand, the movie is still churning out huge revenues even in the third week of its release.MSG has definitely garnered good business and showcased that spiritual and faith based films are also being welcomed by the audience”
said Mr Gautam Dutta, CEO PVR Ltd.
“MSG is enjoying unprecedented success amongst the audiences especially families in Delhi -Up territory and its one of the rare films in today’s times to enjoy a long run In days to come,”
Abbu Jain – Hansu Pictures Delhi was quoted saying.
“MSG collections in Rajasthan are stable in all the 3weeks. 2nd week was equivalent to 1st week and 3 rd week also has Rock steady collections in the entire circuit”
said Sanjay Chatar – Marudhar Entertainment
Pankaj Khemka ‘Director and Distributor of OHM Film in East Punjab Territory as well as Exhibitor at OHM Cine Garden Sirsa in Haryana have to say: “This is a lean time in the film industry. Thanks to MSG who has really brought back audience to the cinema halls and all the cinema halls from last two weeks are running successfully specially when world cup fever is on and India is doing very well. Despite all odds, the film is running remarkably well and I really congratulate to Guru Ji and Hakikat Entertainment for providing such a fantastic platform. We are also experiencing the new set of people who never used to come in cinemas are coming and watching MSG. The film is running successfully in third week.”
Infact, there have been countless amazing instances of life changing events with people who have seen the film. Dr. Pankaj Punj who works as an anaesthetist in a leading Dubai hospital has sent in his video response saying that MSG worked magic in his life. There have been countless instances of people vowing to quit drugs, smoking and alcohol after watching the film or interacting with Guruji during the promotional tours.
The pictures that Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan has posted on his official twitter handle show the amazing response to his promotional events.
It is amply clear that MSG has vowed audiences, it is equally clear that the film has succeeded in the face of overwhelming odds. The sun has truly pierced the clouds to shine in its amazing brilliance. MSG is a winner who has not only won adulation and appreciation but also triggered change in the way people think. The message of the film has brought hope to millions of despondent lives. That is what matters the most, as Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Insan has maintained throughout. The wait has eagerly begun for MSG-2.
