Bole to… Lage Raho Munna Bhai review!
“1st September will change your life” was what the slogan above Sanjay Dutt read in every advertisement of “Lage Raho Munna Bhai” and finally the day arrived! I was standing outside the gate of the multiplex with my manager beside me. He had the tickets to the first day, first show of the sequel to one of the most successful films of 2003.
The dude very coolly said that he wanted a 150 word review on the film by 6 PM. The gates finally opened and we were led into a rock and roll journey to the unbelievable world of MunnaBhai….
All through the laugh riot, I could think of only two things –
• How in the world can director be so clear with his concept, characterization, performance, editing, technical expertise, storyline and practically everything connected to his SECOND FILM!!!
• How in the world will I be able to sum it up in 150 words
Sorry boss, but with this film – it’s impossible to even begin talking about the limitless flick, being in limits! Don’t believe me??? Then try counting the words till now 
So what do you expect from the sequel??? Wanted to find out what happened to Gracy Singh? Were wondering as to how this one will be connected to the medical college episode (read adventure)? Were dying to know what happened to circuit and his family (the short circuit bit was hilarious last time? Did Abhishekh Bachchan make a guest appearance??? Well, Raju Hirani has answered all the questions with élan….
The movie starts off on a fresh canvas… with the unbelievably cute duo of Munna Bhai and Circuit getting deeper into the skin of the characters (which was claimed by the cast of Phir Hera Pheri in their half baked sequel, but could never live up to it). Though they never speak of the past events or happenings, things can be so easily related! All those who’ve seen ‘Munna Bhai MBBS’ recently, will surely relate almost every scene of this flick to it…
Though this venture has been given a slightly polished look, thanks to the graceful presence of the ever so beautiful Vidya Balan, the rough and raunchy form of comedy reigns supreme all through. For once, the advertisements of Indian Oil, Go Air and World Space radio are done in such a way that you don’t find them unnecessary, but impossible to do without!
Well, the story is what everybody is talking about, so it’s not what we’re going to get into! Let’s talk about Gandhi. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who is an integral part of the story… Did he actually appear? Like several movies, serials and plays, was Mahatma Gandhi’s character his soul, his voice, his vision or just some chemical locha in Munna’s head, compelling him to promote Gandhigiri??? The answers to all these questions are answered in the under 140 minute visual tale that indeed changed my life. Hope it changes yours as well….
All that comes to mind after watching a film full of joy, fun, frolic, happiness, love, heart wrenching emotions and thought provoking dialogues is one question – can we have another one please???????
Come on Raju; give us Bollywood’s first successful trilogy….
A MUST WATCH!!!
P.S: I crossed thrice the word limit boss, but bole to … sorry mamu 
The Khan connection
Katrina Kaif is in London at present, with Salman where they are shooting for their respective films. Sallu is shooting for Nikhil Advani’s forthcoming film and Kats is shooting for Vipul Shah’s next venture.
Katrina is pretty excited about her next film and she says, ” My next film revolves around me. And because it is the role of a girl based in London, where I grew up, I can identify with the role completely”.
While the gorgeous Katrina is in love with Salman, her two younger sisters simply loved Shahrukh Khan in Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. What more, one of them even cried through the film.
Katrina says, “My sisters are dying for me to do a movie with Shahrukh. They adored him in his new movie”. We too can’t wait to see Katrina with Shahrukh. Are filmmakers listening ???
