I always believe that when it comes to make a sequel of a successful movie it is very difficult to repeat the charisma of the first one because generally sequels are not planned & mere result of success of the first episode which producer wants to repeat (Make the hay while sun shines …kind of thing)
So the outcome is further stretched story & total chaos, but I am pleased to say that when it comes to ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ this theory is completely trashed.
Hats Off! to Mr.Rajkumar Hirani for such a wonderful movie. His two years of hard work in writing such a brilliant script has paid off with rich dividends for all the movie lovers.
One of the finest assets of the movie is its independent sole. Instead of stretching the Munnabhai MBBS story further Mr.Hirani has touched completely different subject where the only universal thing is Dhamal Jodi of Munnabhai & Circuit from Munnabhai MBBS.
Let’s look at the story line:
Munnabhai & Circuit Company is doing well in there Dadagiri business.
Munnabhai fell in love with Radio Jockey Janhvi.One day he gets the chance to meet his love but the trouble begins when Munna portrays himself as history professor & great Gandhivadi to impress Janhvi.He tries to gain knowledge through the books on Gandhiji & in doing so he meets none other than Mahatma Gandhiji himself.
Now here you have Gandhiji whose entire life was based on truth, non violence & on other hand Munnabhai who knows the language of Dadagiri & Marpit only. What happens next …??
You better watch it yourself because I am not a good storyteller & besides aim of my review is to get you out of you chair & run for the movie.
Let’s analyze the characters:
Sanjay Dutt as Munnabhai: Sanjay Dutt is Munnabhai or should I say Munnabhai is Sunjay Dutt.This man is literally leaving the character of Munnabhai .Award winning performance once again.
Arshad Warsi as Circuit: Without Circuit, Munnabhai is like Ram without Hanuman.
This guy has great timing for comedy. He is one of the finest actor film industry has got.
Round of applause for yet another fine performance
Vidya Balan as Janvi: She looks gorgeous & more importantly she has acted well in the movie.
Boman Irani as Lucky Sigh: Dean Mamu is back but this time Boman is playing character of Punjabi land dealer .He is such a versatile actor.Eventhough the character is gray shaded, you just can’t hate the guy.Rock solid performance by Boman.
Dilip Prabhavalkar as Gandhiji: He is the finest actor of Marathi cinema & theater .He has given total justice to the character of Mahatma Gandhi
Besides some nice cameo are played by Dia Mirza, Jimy Shergil, Atmaram Bhende, Kulbhushan khrbanda, Saurabh Shukla etc.
This Gandhigiri is worth a watch, to be very specific movie tries to place Gandhiji from Photo frame to you heart in simple but effective way.
So still sitting in chair??
Go get you tickets…..
