God For Sale Bakthiprasthanam Review

Babu Janardhan's 'God for Sale' is a dopey exercise in film making that puts you to sleep in no time. It is both unfocused and diluted, and never really gets to express what it has in mind, (no) thanks to its almost one-dimensional characters.
Prasannan Nair (Kunchacko Boban), has a very modest upbringing at a village in Attingal, before he joins the Law Academy to pursue a degree in Law. Having passed out of college, Prasannan marries Anu (Anumol), conveniently forgetting all that his childhood sweetheart Vimala (Jyothi Krishna) had done for him
Prasannan soon goes leftist as far as his political ideologies are concerned, and turns out to be a far different man from the one who had once vowed to demolish the controversial masjid. Soon he converts into Christianity and when he exhorts his wife to follow suit, she makes a revelation that shatters his life. With no other option left, he forces himself to evolve into a Godman, earns hoards of followers in no time, and is soon jailed under allegations of having conducted human sacrifice.
What is perhaps most surprising is that though the film has been titled 'God for Sale' and had suggested that it was about a Godman, there is very little in it about the Godman himself. Though it starts off with the arrest of the Swami, it soon concerns itself with his biography, rapidly moving from one phase of his life to the next.
We cannot forget that there have been spectacular films already that have discussed the business
