On Day One, ‘MSG: The Messenger’ has few takers
When 'MSG: The Messenger' hit the screens on Friday (September 18), it did not attract many viewers.
The theatre officials said that this time, a majority of the audience was from Punjab. There were also no security arrangements on the roads or around the theatres.
When ‘MSG: The Messenger’, a movie by the Dera Sacha Sauda chief was released in February this year, huge traffic snarls were witnessed around the movie theatres in the city. The roads leading to Centra Mall and Elante had to be closed. However, when the movie’s sequel, MSG-2, hit the screens Friday, it did not attract many viewers.
At PVR Cinemas in Centra Mall, around 40 people watched the first show of the day, while at PVR Cinemas in Elante Mall, the number was close to 50.
In Panchkula, with the Shalimar Mall remaining sealed, the residents watched it at the single-screen KC Theatre. However, only 35 people watched the inaugural show at the theatre. In the city, there were three shows each at Piccadily Square, PVR Cinemas in Centra Mall and Fun Cinemas in Galaxy Mall, while there were two shows at PVR Cinemas in Elante Mall.
