I have not seen the original version ?Munnabai MBBS? ; but I can tell you that this movie is really hilarious. It is comic, entertaining and also social; Most importantly, unlike other Kamal movies communal angle is avoided as much as possible. Forgot to tell the Music numbers are surprisingly good. I will not be surprised if songs become hit like Manmada Rasa.
Almost all songs are good (Pathukulla Number One, Azhvarpettai Andava, Seena Thana, Vasool Raja). Art direction is good, photography is decent. Over all, direction, screen play, dialogue, music, etc.. is really good. Manamirunthal Maargabanthu ?..
Story is revealing, how a person can get Doctor Certificate through various malpractices? Also, this movie shows darker side of medical profession. There is lot of social angle in this movie while politely criticizing medical pros. If you look at some of the recent famous cases in Bihar and other places, this movie indeed talks about real life
Only characters in the movie were wasted in some places; Prabu is totally wasted or ignored. Sneha is good but seemingly putting more weight. Nagesh and other supporting characters have done their part. Prakash Raj seems to have imitated Thennali Jayaram. I think, now a days Kamal brings atleast one character from Malayalam film industry.
Over-all, the movie itself an enjoyable experience but for the sake of criticizing we can say that Kamal is getting into the monotony of Crazy dialogues and similar type of comedy stereotypes.
