As for the first installment, the box office gross of the film is disputed, with a large difference between the numbers from box office estimates and the much higher numbers given by the film's producers. Reception was similar to its predecessor, with critics considering it propaganda and a very bad film overall.[7][8][9] It was followed by two films, MSG: The Warrior Lion Heart and Hind Ka Napak Ko Jawab: MSG Lion Heart 2, both featuring new and unrelated story and characters; Honeypreet Insan, Singh's daughter who co-stars in MGS-2, directed and starred in both alongside her father.
