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

Munna Bhai gets hit !!!

Every one of you movie crazy freaks must be ready to wake up earlier than never before just to rush to the theatres and multiplexes at the earliest… kaiko??? Bole to apna Munna Bhai aala reeeeee!!!! Yes guys “Lage Raho Munna Bhai” is all set to hit the theatres on 1st September, but did you know what ‘hit’ Sanju baba while filming for one of the songs in one of the most awaited film of the year???
While filming a song in the sequel which goes, Apun ko mil gayi, arre ek kissing car, back seat pe jee bhar ke kiya pyaar (wonder where such cars are sold
), director Raju Hirani wanted a shot of Sanjay Dutt’s face covered with lipstick-kiss marks. The poor make-up man did all he could (and what did he do???) but couldn’t bring the realism in the make up… This is when the mischievous hero suggested to take the ‘help’ of all the ladies present in the crew… and sooner than he expected, a line of excited girls was anxiously waiting to pound on him… nahi yaar, it wasn’t to beat him up for such a suggestion, but to kiss him all over his face with their lips smeared with the thickest and brightest coats of lipstick!!! All we can say for the great piece of luck is – lage raho Sanju bhai
Pain in the ass continues for Sanjay Dutt !
While “Anthony Kaun Hai” is cruising away with all the accolades and collections at the box office, the lead actor of the film, Sanjay Dutt is involved in his own series of mujrim kaun hai??? Now don’t start flipping the pages of your television programme guides because it’s not a television serial. But it’s surely been running longer than any soap opera on the telly tube, or even DDLJ!!! We’re talking about the 1993 serial bomb blast case yaar.
A special court was in session today, 10th August 06, to pass a verdict on the 123 people, including apna Munna Bhai aka Sanjay Dutt. All of us were expecting the endless saga to finally come to an end finally. But alas! The court has postponed the d day to 12th September. We’re all with you on this Sanju baba n you’ll come out clean in the end for sure
