Critic consensus
Critical consensus on MSG-2 The Messenger is overwhelmingly negative, with most reviewers finding it unwatchable outside of its intended devotee audience. Several critics walked out before the film concluded, and multiple outlets issued explicit warnings against seeing it. Common criticisms include tacky CGI, garish production design, loud songs, and the film's function as self-promotional propaganda for its lead, who also wrote and directed it. The sole marginally positive note came from one reviewer who suggested it may work for audiences entering with aligned expectations, while another acknowledged it is at least shorter than its predecessor.

MSG 2 is a bizarre experience, and while definitely one that would make me want to ask Rediff.com for a raise, it's mercifully an hour shorter than the unending first release and may also prove to be a daftly enjoyable release for those partaking in the substances Mr Insan is so vehemently opposed to. (Or is he?)

Fashioned as a garish potboiler, the film has people romancing over local madira and flaunting posh aviators in tacky clothes over laughable loud songs. This time around, there is so much more to guffaw over besides his curly body hair.

The computer generated images of the animals like; the bull, the elephants, pythons and water buffaloes are a tad tacky. This along with the gaudy graphics, flashy effects and verbal assurances, I am sure would sway the gullible audiences. Overall this is a highly avoidable film.

If you don't know what to do by now, then let me spell it out for you- do NOT waste your time in this movie. Even if you are dared or are promised a huge sum of money. Just don't. It WILL be your worst nightmare. Okay let me put it this way; even if it's a matter of life and death, choose the latter.

The second installment of MSG--The Messenger is now running in theatres, and here's a warning in public interest: You'll be blown away by the supernatural powers of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insaan. That is, only if you're a die-hard fan.

Whether you're watching this film for entertainment or for religious purposes, it has something for you. The trailers are honest about what the film has to offer, and if you go in with the right expectations, you won't be disappointed.

I walked out of MSG – Messenger of God because to consider it worthy of being reviewed offended my sensibilities. Not because I'm Bengali (our sensibilities are notoriously delicate and sophisticated) but because I have a functioning brain and I know the difference between cinema and propaganda.

No point in reviewing something which is clearly intended to be a video of self propagation. We walked out of the theatre at interval. No, not just because of the assault on our senses, but also because of the stifling atmosphere that was created around us in the theatre.
Film review ·
This is a movie meant for those who already believe that the protagonist, who is also the real-life spiritual leader of the Dera Sacha Sauda sect, is God incarnate. If it hoped to convert others into believing so, it does a very bad job of it. In the movie, the pot-bellied, hirsute hero who wears the most psychedelic clothes known to mankind can turn bullets into a crown, swords into rose petals, produce electricity from the palm of his hand; and while doing all this, gambol in meadows with bunnies as women dance in the background. Rajnikanth can take a back seat.
Film review ·
The film opens with a disclaimer in English which says that it is a piece of fiction and that the lead character doesn't have miraculous powers. It should have been in Hindi and Gurumukhi as well, for most of the followers of the self-styled guru are proficient in these languages. It might still work for the devotees of Singh, but the rest can go by his advice, "Never Ever".

If you watch this movie with positive intensions then you will see how this man changed the aadivasi wow kill people wearing clothes, drink alcohol and ate animals but the critics are looking at the VFX effects this man can't show straight what god can do so he tries to show by VFX and remember that this story is based on true events he actually has changed them and open schools for them no one is looking towards it.
Film industry is serving just vulgarity on the name of entertainment. Youth love to follow what they listen and what they watch. That's why MSG saint decided to make the film from a different prospective. MSG-2 is a totally vulgarity free movie, so we can watch with our family and no need to worry about the cheap dialogue and item songs. MSG-2 is just WOW....
Everything in the movie is really rocking. Music is too good with really good lyrics. No age bars, no vulgarity, full entertainment.

You will be motivated to become good citizens after watching @MSGTheFilm The message to avoid drugs & non-vegetarian food habbits are scientifically presented More over towards blood donation spirit & to help needy ones , this film has created positive environment Youth is transforming all over the world after watching this . Just watch & U also come to know !!
Ever since MSG-2 The Messenger came out three weeks ago, people have been asking me again and again what I think about this movie as a viewer and my usual short answer is: "A blockbuster". This has been the consensus opinion among nearly all the viewers who have watched MSG- 2 The Messenger. It's a movie which is based on the true events. The purpose of the movie is not to make money but to educate the society with entertainment and to be honest it has done all three. Every actor in the movie has acted so realistically that sometimes it seems that you are watching a documentary. All the characters are convex and credible, and sometimes I noticed being sympathetic towards some of them but then I realized that I was watching a film about the tribes. It is literally impossible to look away from the screen. What I liked most of all was the actors' performances. The raving music and brilliant stunts of this sequel lured me into the cinema. MSG -2 The messenger revolves around the tribals who have been living in isolation for ages and the MSG who brings them to the mainstream social life. The stunts performed by the MSG does create more attention. The makers have really been able to create a buzz with this movie. It is a film which must be experienced on a theatrical screen to be fully understood. The movie's an astonishingly detailed, visually painstaking state-of-the-art that advances what the cinema can show us—even as the human story at its centre feels a little thin after a while. MSG 2 is hilarious from the beginning and until the ending credits. Accept MSG 2 as pure, popcorn-munching show and nothing else. Take my assurance you won't go away disappointed.
