Full Plot Details

Circa 1940 in Trinidad, still a British Colony, lives Ganesh Ramseyor, of East Indian origin, along with his wife, Leela. He longs to reach out to people, especially to Hindus, in order to promote the Hindu Faith, and be known as a writer. He does get considerable success, so much so that he becomes famous as a miracle worker, having cured a man of sharing intimacy with his bicycle; prevented a man from believing that he can fly; and convincing a young woman to end her fast. His fame spreads all over the island and thousands throng to seek his blessings, which he does dole out quite benevolently, without charging any fees from the poor and the needy. He then decides to spread his wings by challenging the local politician Pandit Narayan Chandrashekhar alias Cyrus T., and takes over The Hindu Organization, thence opening his way to a seat in the prestigious Member of the Legislative Assembly. Now literally the sky is the limit for Ganesh, and he knows that he can achieve any position - and it is then that he realizes that he cannot attain anything much without the support of the grassroots people - the very ordinary folks who had supported him. The question remains with his high position, will his contact with his people be limited, or will he forsake all power and ceremonial positions to be near his devotees?

Movie Reviews

Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 8/10 by Eleanor Ringel CaterA real clunker. A well-made, thoughtful, well-acted clunker, but a clunker nonetheless.
Des Moines Register - 8/10 by Jeffrey BrunerThe faithful will enjoy this sometimes wry adaptation of V.S. Naipaul's novel, but newcomers may find themselves stifling a yawn or two during the first hour.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 8/10 by Duane DudekA lyrical metaphor for cultural and personal self-discovery and a picaresque view of a little-remembered world.
Reel.com - 8/10 by Rod ArmstrongThose who savor well-drawn characters and exotic locales will find the touch of The Mystic Masseur to be most pleasurable indeed.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranThe result is an eccentric, amusing fable that moves at an unhurried island pace, a picturesque tale that Merchant seems to have invested with an almost personal sense of spirit.
Sacramento Bee - 8/10 by Joe BaltakeA bittersweet film, simple in form but rich with human events.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeWhat could have become just another cautionary fable is allowed to play out as a clever, charming tale %u2013 as pleasantly in its own way as its self-dramatizing characters.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 8/10 by Eleanor Ringel GillespieA real clunker. A well-made, thoughtful, well-acted clunker, but a clunker nonetheless.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 7/10 by Chris HewittA bore that tends to hammer home every one of its points.
