Bhai ne Kaha Dikhata hai to Dikhata hai

Bhai ne Kaha ki Dikhata hai to Dikhata hai. Believe me it’s not chemical locha.


Yes, we all saw with Circuit. Such beautiful hallucinations that taught us to speak truth once again. Yet another sweet concept from Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Bapu preached, Sanjay Dutt dictates those sayings and infuses them into life.


Sanjay meets Bapu in GandhiGranthalaya, he comes out with him and walk together until they reach VidhyaBalan’s ‘2nd Innings’. There are six others like Bapu who learn Gandhigiri from him – Murli Prasad Sharma, the professor of History. Otherwise he breaks bones and gets housed emptied. Circuit accompanies him in the process. Everywhere. Bhabhi kidhar hai? To call upon an emergency meeting in the lavatory. To escort Bapu to taxi. To advise not to be out till late in the night.


There are many mini-concepts throughout the movie, like in between the lines in a book. Get well soon – means you are ill with lies and deceits. So sending flowers to say get well soon. Teach Patience to overcome someone’s wrath. Clean those dirty peeks with your own hands, one day he shall stop and say those words – Sorry. Munna is the process mediator while Victor, Sunny, girl searching for a better alliance… are the impact mediator of the so-called gandhigiri.


When Vidhya appears on the screen as a radio jockey, boys whistle till she listens to them, while it is girls who are simply raving when Abhishek puts those mogra beads back on the head. Kulbhushan is with double K while Dia is out pretty bride. Boman is engrossed in getting pictures done with Bush in his farmhouse.


Sanjay is looking purely fresh and young over his age, every time he smiles his most winsome smile. Pal Pal Pal Pal, Har Pal… Kaise katega har Pal… with Vidhya is a melodious number. The most amazing scene on those wooden banks near sea – Munna has to say sorry to Circuit. He does not forget to give that jadoo ki jhappi to Circuit. And in the end, Circuit is simply overwhelming…
