First of all I thank you for your fabulous responses to Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna review.

Today’s movie, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, a continuation of Munna Bhai MBBS, is an earnest effort to reestablish the Indian edifice of bonhomie. Chummy character of Munna Bhai gets chummier in this movie. It’s one of the best dishes served by Bollywood which contains flavor of love, belief, inner strength, brotherhood and clean comedy which you can enjoy in your home with all family sitting together.

Munna Bhai and Circuit are the same but this time Vidya Balan has taken the actress’ role. The rising actress has played her role beautifully and I think this film will definitely be another feather in her cap. Listen to “Good morning Mumbai” on radio and you instantly become her fan. Songs are lively and the choreography has been natural to fit Sanjay Dutt’s persona. The title song “Lage raho munnabhai” is also good.

The movie starts with tapori style activities and slowly moves on to rather sincerity. Many questions have been raised on our present day society and moral values. How far have we drifted from our culture? If you really understand what the movie’s trying to convey, you will see how beautifully the contents of immense seriousness have been served with a tinge of comedy and laughter. If you have got the slightest desire to change for the betterment, then this movie will definitely imbue and help you do the same.

The movie is really powerful -- when you go inside the theatre, you either get revamped or at least come out thinking about a revamp.

So, now if you’ve already been there, no probs, you know it all what I said. And if you haven’t been to the theatre yet, drop everything and go to the theatre first. No body knows, you are a better “You” tomorrow.

Dimensions:

This movie, in the name of chemical changes, recalls Bapu, his virtues and his visions of the free India. It has beautifully portrayed how those principles of “Satya and Ahimsa” are still alive and can be efficiently and powerfully implemented in our life, in the 21^st century.

Secondly, this movie says that win your enemy with love. If someone hits you, you don’t hit him back.

Somewhere, somehow, this movie has also portrayed the power of Love when it shows a dramatic and complete revamp of Munna when he falls in Love. This may appear a bit dramatic, but if you have known love sometime or the other, you may believe it.

Teachings of the movie are same as of Bapu and can be summarized as below—

1. Speak truth and be fearless.
2. If you do wrong to someone, say “Sorry”. It takes a lot of guts to say “Sorry”.
3. Don’t ever reciprocate hatred.
4. Importunate your rights in kind and innocuous fashion.
5. Always do right things and you need not lie.
6. No profession is shameful.
7. Drop superstitions.
8. Help others as much as you can.
9. Life is the greatest possession you have, don’t ever lose it.
10. Good times and bad times keep switching, so don’t worry if your times is not good, it will last soon.
11. Finally, don’t forget the teachings of those great saints and try your best to follow them; they will fetch you more benefits than you can think of.

So, now if you’ve already been there, no probs, you know it all what I said. And if you haven’t been to the theatre yet, drop everything and go to the theatre first. No body knows, you are a better “You” tomorrow.
