MSG The Warrior Lion Heart movie review: Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh's film only for the lionhearted
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh stars in and directs MSG The Warrior Lion Heart, apart from working in 28 other departments. Here's our MSG The Warrior Lion Heart movie review.
Cast: Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh
Direction: Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh
Ratings: This film is beyond ratings
MSG The Warrior Lion Heart is not a film. Like the previous MSG (Messenger of God) films, this too is a propaganda piece made by the subject of the said propaganda, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh himself. And like the previous films, this too is strictly meant for fans of the self-styled (literally, he designs his and the entire cast's clothes) Guruji. And mind you, do not underestimate his fans, even if you have not come across them. They exist in enough numbers to push the IMDb ratings of MSG 1 and MSG 2 to 7.2 and 8.2 out of 10 respectively.
MSG The Warrior Lion Heart is about a lionheart warrior who is lovingly called Sher Dil (Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh). He can do anything. He is invincible. He has managed to live across time and space. In the two-hour-long film, Sher Dil is seen being a badass in a 300-year-old kingdom, which he protects from aliens, thanks to Mahabharat ke samay ke hathyar. He also exists in the present day and continues to indulge in more badassery while everyone around him cannot stop punching in the air and yell, Sher Dil Yaay!
If Martin Scorsese's Wolf Of Wall Street has its characters saying the F-word a record 569 times, MSG The Warrior Lion Heart easily has people saying Sher Dil more number of times than that.
If one found the trailer of MSG The Warrior Lion Heart really amusing and decided to give the film a shot just for laughs, then be aware that it is a very bad idea. After a point, the ridiculousness will make you question your life choices in the theatre and some parts of the film (a cave fight, in particular) are so, so offensive to all the five senses plus common, they seem like vignettes from an unwanted fever dream.
MSG The Warrior Lion Heart is, as expected, not just aesthetically regressive but also politically. In one scene where Sher Dil's sisters ask for a Rakhi gift, Sher Dil says he has two kaale kaloote (pitch black) boys ready as grooms for them, which is obviously treated as an annoying joke by the girls. In another scene, Sher Dil sermonises that non-vegetarians are demons like Hidimba, when asked why he is a vegetarian.
The worst is when a few goatee-ed men wearing surma (which in Bollywoodese means Muslims) are about to butcher a cow and they come across Sher Dil. Sher Dil goes medieval on them with the usual lecturing on how cows are our mothers, etc etc. Give him an Oscar for gauraksha already.
From the Alif Laila-inspired decor to the Shaktimaan-inspired special effects to the generally senseless plot, narrative and acting, MSG The Warrior Lion Heart is an attempt to push the idea that Superman exists and he is Indian, and he beats even Superman in his own arena. If you believe that, you will love MSG The Warrior Lion Heart and you will not read a 600-word review to know how it is. If you don't, close this tab right now.
