A waste of 90 minutes of my life
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Blistering performances.
"Lage Raho Munna Bhai" is a sequel to "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S." and it's a rare case where I actually prefer the sequel to the original. Part of it might be the lesser use of annoying language like 'bro' and 'dude' but mostly I think it's because the story is a bit deeper and FINALLY Munna Bhai does manage to reform!Just like in the previous film, Munna Bhai (Sanjay Dutt) is a nice mobster...an odd oxymoron, I know. However, he IS a mobster and uses his best friend, Circuit, to break a few legs and use a few bullets to get Munna's point across to his 'clients'. However, a big change in this installment is that Munna is smitten with a radio talk show host. Although he's never seen her, he's infatuated with her...and is excited when he hears that a contest she is hosting will allow the winner to meet her. But, the quiz is about Gandhi...and dopey Munna knows nothing about the man. So, he and Circuit kidnap some professors and use them to help him win the contest. Not surprisingly, when Munna wins, his lies keep racking up and soon he's talked himself into delivering a lecture on Gandhi to the host's housemates. So, a sociopath is supposed to be talking about Gandhi's non-violent methods....it sounds impossible. But, fortunately, Munna soon gets the help of a friend...the invisible ghost of Gandhi himself!! How will this change Munna for the better? See the film.I was a bit shocked at the premise of the film, as many hold Gandhi in almost god-like esteem and having him in a comedy seemed odd to say the least. However, the filmmakers did a good job of this and kept infusing Munna with not only the words of Gandhi but his philosophy in order to balance the comedy with drama and poignancy. A thoroughly enjoyable film in every way.By the way, the small role of Sunny is played by Abhishek Bachchan-- -a mega-star of Indian cinema and I was surprised to see this guy in such a tiny part of the movie.
For me the start of this movie was so cheesy I actually turned it off as after watching the first ten minutes or so I really didn't think it was something I'd enjoy. However, my wife and I decided to give it another go and we stuck with it and managed to get beyond the terrible opening and boy am I glad we did.As the movie progresses it just seems to get better and better in every way. The story unfolds in a magnificent way, the characters become less two- dimensional, and the message of the films shines through so brightly ... well, I won't say any more as I'll leave that for you to discover.After the first ten to fifteen minutes I would probably have given this movie 3 out of 10, but by the time the final credits rolled that had gone right up to a well earned 9 out of 10.
This is the first Bollywood film I have seen, and I enjoyed it very much. The story was funny, romantic, and even contained a strong moral lesson. The actors all seemed to do a good job -- it is harder to judge with a subtitled film. The songs were generally well done and not too intrusive. The cinematography, costumes, and set design enhanced the film -- and made me want to visit India some day. About the only suggestion for improvement would be to shorten it a bit -- this was at least 30 minutes too long for a comedy/musical, in my opinion. One technical gripe about the DVD: the commercials at the beginning were too long and unable to skip.
This was a great movie. It was funny and entertaining, yet weaved a strong and very needed message through out the movie. It was great to see a movie that was able to entertain yet remind us of history and the message we may forget. I admired how the many different threads of this movie i.e. music, comedy, and history were brought together so well. Being American and having to read the sub-titles didn't take anything away from this movie for me. I was very moved by this movie, and would recommend it for every one to see. Sanjay Dutt being so handsome is an added plus in watching this movie ..wink..Labiba
