In grief, Modi submits his resignation which is eventually declined as he had done a lot of work for the party. He was transferred to New Delhi for groundwork. He returned to Gujarat from Delhi in 2001, just a month before the events of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

[25] On 9 April 2019, the film was certified by the CBFC allotting 'U' certificate with run time of 130 minutes. [26] Election commission has stopped the release of the movie till the elections are over saying, "that any biopic 'which has the potential to disturb the level playing field during the elections should not be displayed in the electronic media'". [27] The film was theatrically released in worldwide on 24 May 2019. [2] [28] A new poster of movie has been released a day before of release of movie with tag line "Aa rahe hain dobara, ab koi nahin rok sakta" marking Narendra Modi's victory in 2019 election. [29]

[30] Media Certification and Monitoring Committee (MCMC), set up by the Election Commission, has served a notice to the producers and T-series over an advertisement which was carried in two hindi newspapers announcing the movie trailer with an image of Narendra Modi. [31]

Reception

Critical response

The film was panned by critics, who termed it a hagiography and criticized Oberoi's performance. [32]

Ananya Bhattacharya of India Today took note of the film's bias towards the protagonist: "Even the most controversial parts of PM Narendra Modi's life – the Godhra riots – are planted on the Opposition as a way to keep Modi from serving his people". [33] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in wrote, "Any insights the movie offers into Modi's rise are inadvertent. The monomaniacal focus on one man above all else will surely be of interest to those who study how cinema can be used for propaganda". [34] Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India gave the film two and a half stars out of five and criticised the script, opining, "This one is too lopsided for you to appreciate. It leaves a lot unanswered. While it firmly believes ‘Modi ek insaan nahi, soch hai’, we wish the script was as thoughtful". However, she was among the few who appreciated Oberoi's performance- "He gets the mannerisms, accent and tone right and thankfully doesn't overdo it". [35] Writing for The Indian Express , Shubhra Gupta gave the movie two stars out of five and stated, "The film is not a mere bio-pic, it is a full-fledged, unabashed, unapologetic hagiography". [36] Kennith Rosario of The Hindu summarised the movie's narrative as "a obsequious love letter" to the protagonist which tells the audience "how sincere, hardworking, fair and honest Modi is, [and] that it makes you wonder if life is a parody of this film". [37]

The main opposition party of India claimed that the BJP lead government is using bollywood as a propaganda machine and the movie is aimed to serve a perilous mix of high-pitched nationalism and strongman branding of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. [38] [39]

Box office

The film collected ₹2.25-2.5 million nett on its opening day, and was the second best-performing film among all others released in India on that day, after Aladdin (2019). [40] The following day, it earned ₹3 crore nett. [41] Collections on Sunday showed minor growth with earnings of ₹4.25 crore. [42] Monday earnings dropped 20 percent from the opening day for a total of ₹1.85 crore nett. [43] On Tuesday, the film earned ₹1.7 crore nett. [44] The film earned ₹1.5 crore nett and ₹1.1 crore nett on Wednesday and Thursday. [45]

The film managed to earn ₹19.21 crores domestically in its first week. Next 3 weeks gross collections were ₹7.20 crores, ₹1.60 crores, and ₹0.5 crores respectively. Thus, it ended with a life-time collection of ₹28.51 crores in India.
