Rediff Movie Critic has allways been harsh on films but for **"Lage Raho Munnabhai " **he has given 4.5 Stars and the review itself is very good, i will be watching it today so will post my comments later this day.
For people who want to read the review here is the link
Just watched it in theater today. It was non-stop comedy from begining till end. Nice that they had well developed new characters for same cast. A very well done movie over all and continued the legacy of MBMBBS of light comedy mixed with some thought provoking social issues.
It is first Indian sequal that is not only good but meets the expectation of viewers.
loved all the dialogues n jokes! saying its better than the first one may be a controversial statement but u can understand my reaction when i say that.
vidya balan looks superb! cute smile :) sanjay dutt looks too old to romance. circuit is one role arshad warsi plays very well. overall a hilarious movie!
ummmmmm.............i havent seen the movie or anything but didnt Munna bhai get married at the end of the first movie? The Parineeta chick is not with him in this movie, is she? I mean if she is, how the hell did they explain it?
this is not exactly a sequal ... instead of chinki in MBBS he likes RJ janvhi, and he decides to be a gandhian instead of doctor. watch the movie and dont strain your non existing part.
For the movie that teaches patience, it surely doesn’t test ours right away, cuz thankfully it wasn’t long like other so called big movies of the year. They kept it short and sweet. The movie was full of moments … be it the laughters or the truimph of truth, both pleased the audience like a charm. The plot was intelligent to say the least as it carries a lesson in its comic theme. I donno if any documentary on Gandhi could ever have an impact on such a mass audience; this one filled in a lot of trivia on Gandhi for me and it was truly inspirational. You can see some parallels to Rang De Basanti and quite ironically, these two seem to be the no.1 and no. 2 movies of the year.
While it doesn’t exceed the original Munna Bhai MBBS, it doesn’t fall behind either. It does have its glitches and some weak script moments, but it can all be forgiven for its sheer brilliance and lively performances. You can’t help but fall in love with Munna n Circuit; they just happen to create magic on the screen together. Vidya Balan plays her role well; she was very charming and outright adorable. Her ‘Good Morning Mumbai’ expression was cool. Boman Irani didn’t have as meaningful role as the first one, but he did complete justice with it. He came out safe even playing the antagonist of the movie. The cameo trio of Jimmy Shergill, Dia Mirza and Abhishek were justified as well… well may be not Abhishek’s role, but Dia Mirza added the glamour and Jimmy did his bit with one of the most sentimental scenes of the movie. The guy who played Gandhi deserves major props. The songs weren’t forced and the cinematography is excellent … the *samjho ho higaya *had excellent blends.
Wow… didn’t even realize i wrote that much… i guess i was bit impressed This movie is beyond the traditional comedies like Hera Pheri, Chup Chup K and Malamaal Weekly, it has bigger than life moments. Abhi tak parh rae la hai, watch it already Mamu… boley tou Abhi-ich make a plan to watch it, you won’t be disappointed. The government should applaud this movie and name some towns MunnaNagar and Circuitabad to honor it. Afterall, which other movie teaches such lessons and gives tributes to the nation’s founding fathers.
