If you are expecting a Lage Raho Munna Bhai kind of film, be warned; Gandhigiri is anything but that. Apart from a few stray references to Mahatma Gandhi’s ideology, it’s just the typical wannabe entertainer that is confused between wanting to put forth a social message and making the viewer laugh, at the same time.
The film opens with the introduction of the main characters; lovebirds Yuvraj ( Bhutani) and Disha ( Chawla) , Bansi ( Brijesh Karniwal) , the pickpocket, and Bakait Singh ( Mishra) , the gang-leader. The introduction goes on for almost an hour with new characters popping up faster than bhurji-pav stalls on the streets.
Four criminals, products of a corrupt system, end up in jail after attempting to rob an NRI’s car. Fortunately for them, the NRI turns out to be a Gandhian. He bails them out and vows to change their lives.
