Lagey Raho munna bhai


To say the least, movie with a string of social messages encapsulated in class jokes.(basically an object oriented movie)
The movie is a sequel of Munnabhai MBBS and as in the prequel begins with a hilarious kidnapping . The movie revolves around Munna bhai(sanjay dutt) who is a underworld kingpin of mumbai and is known for kidnapping/getting disputed properties cleared etc. and he is in love with a Radio Jockey(balan) .To meet her he cheats a competition and gets a chance to meet her live in her program. On enquiring about his profession, he lies that he is a professor and thus start the fun. In the typical mumbaiya ishtyle, he is tells about gandhiji's theories and ideas. He is invited to RJ's house to give a lecture to her dad and her dad's friends which he gladly agrees. He studies about gandhiji for about 3 days continuously and by fourth day he starts seeing gandhiji infront of him. He is able to talk to him,see him & seek his advice on various topics.The fun multiplies when he starts giving Gandhiji's advice to people who are in trouble.For ex, he tells a guy to smile at the person when he spits paan on his door and clean in front of him, he tells a retiered teacher to remove all his clothes in front of the officer who had been asking for bribe to hand him his pension and so on ... The movie has a hilarious character circuit(arshad warsi) who is simply amazing . The movie is full of jokes and situational comedy but it also has a message for each one of us. It makes us remember the true values of Gandhiji which are there only in texts . It sends a signal that Gandhiji's values and philosphy can still do wonders . The music is not very popular but is good to hear . The direction,script and screenplay are great and you don't think outside the movie even once while sitting in the theatre.

In all a must watch family movie

chal mamu bole to apun ab kalti marta hain
