Really Surprised!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

"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.

This good-natured sequel to Munnabhai MBBS is a lot of fun and thought-provoking at the same time. Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi continue to play two lovable rogues and Warsi is simply hilarious at times. The film's propagation of non-violent Gandhian techniques is refreshingly different. Boman Irani has a negative role and is very effective. Jimmy Shergill and Vidya Balan chip in with brief appearances. Some of Munna's 'Mahatma-inspired' solutions are definitely a bit odd but remain enjoyable to watch. The climax is surprisingly effective and is a real crowd-pleaser.Overall 8/10

This is not just a movie, it's an experience and no offense but you ARE a fool if you haven't seen this movie, and you are definitely not a human being if you haven't liked this movie. The three hours journey leaves you totally stunned as it makes you cry, laugh, and connect to the characters. Somewhere, in the movie, it makes you realize your wrong doings in life. You don't cry for the characters in the movie, but for yourself. I have seen this movie for like at least more than fifty times now, and still every time i see it, I learn a lot from it. Emotional is an understatement for this movie, it is much more than that. This kind of cinema has never been done and I am definitely sure can never be repeated again, not just in bollywood but anywhere in the world. The movie simply teaches you a way of life, a way for you to realize that you are not just a highly developed class of animals fighting for surviving on this planet but much more than that. Believe me, you will thank me after watching this movie if you are watching it after reading my comment, moreover you will thank yourself for watching it, you will feel deep in your heart a sense of relief and satisfaction as if you have done something great.

The most awesome film i have seen for a long long time.the way raju hirani has carried his story is unbelievable.if you thought m.b.b.s was awesome,wait till you see this film.the trailers didn't do justice to the film's content.i would have never believed it could be this good,until i saw it.its hard to imagine what the film holds in the second half,but i bet it is better than most of us could imagine.the way this film has inspired us Indians has to be seen to be believed.its impact can be seen in our politics as well.sanjay dutt has got what he needed to be remembered as one of the all time greats. all hail Munnabhai.
