I see more of "Munna-Bhai MBBS" in this. It is the same singer singing same old song but in a different voice. Guess what.It is a good try.but still u can figure it out.
Positives.
Sharman Joshi-Raju Rastogi- made an honest effort
Kareena Kapoor-Pia - thanks to raju hirani.has controlled kareena from her usual over acting traits
Nothing specials
Aamir Khan-Rancho- Amir has done similar "chamatkar wala"(miracle man) role in "Tare zameen par". I feel that there is a similarity between amir and kamal hasan. Though kamal tries variety of roles, amir and kamal like to act in movies which gives them all the importance and others get left overs (if any).
Boman Irani-Viru Sahastrabudhhe- It has become a Cliché now as Rajkumar Hirani will always teach this poor guy, a lesson. I feel sorry for Boman Irani. For how long will Mr. Boman Irani be asked to perform similar roles. For GOD-SAKE Raju! Can’t you think of anyother actor?.This does make me feel over bored.
R Madhavan-Farhan Qureshi - Though I feel that madhavan is a talented actor, I dont know whether he is required in this film? Someone else could have done that role.(His role in rang de basanti was short and effective).
Some intresting scenes:
Chatur Ramalingam’s welcome speech.
The way Raju Rastogi’s family gets introduced.
About the makers.
For those who think that Rajkumar Hirani is an absolute genius, I am sorry to disappoint you! His trade mark film "Munna Bhai MBBS" needs an introspection. I request you to see "Patch Adams" - Robin Williams.
I dont want to get into each scene and introspect this movie. I know that you can always critisize any movie. But "Film-Fraternity of INDIA" must understand that there is no use in making similar movies with different messages. "PLEASE MAKE ORIGINAL MOVIES".
Verdict.
Better than usual commercial potboilers but NOTHING SPECIAL.
