Box office collection: MSG opens to housefull shows ;
Bulk bookings promise sky high figures over the weekendThe
much controversial film MSG opened across 3000 screens nationwide on
Friday 13. Needless to say, it met with an overtly enthusiastic welcome,
thanks to the ardent fan following of the Dera Saccha Sauda chief
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh.
MSG was scheduled for a January 16 release, but got delayed due to clearance issues with the censor board.
In lieu of the controversy surrounding the film, the shows were not only booked in advance but are houseful for the weekend.
Bulk bookings promise sky high figures over the weekend, with each ticket costing around Rs. 450 to Rs.500.
The
story revolves around Guru ji (Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh), who is a
spiritual leader, and has a humongous fan 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 are now on a manhunt to track him down.
MSG has garnered an impressive box office collection, but appalling reviews.
