I am just back after seeing the first day, last show of the film Lage Raho Munnabhai... and I got so smitten by the wonderful storytelling, that I thought of writing some of my thoughts about the film.
Yes... our very own, darling, sweetheart, streetsmart, tapori Munnabhai is back in the new film, this time as a history professor. Everyone has adored him in his earlier flick, Munnabhai M.B.B.S., but this film, let me tell you... is going to be equal, if not bigger, to its prequel. A Hollywood film is supposed to be made from the earlier film, then God knows what we can expect from the current release.
I am well informed that 'Munnabhai Meets Mahatma' was supposed to be the name of the latest release, but was replaced by a more cheesy 'Lage Raho Munnabhai'. And the way Gandhiji's ideologies have been depicted in the film through a crook is awesome. If we had Jadoo ki Jhappi in the earlier flick, then we have Gandhiji (and his ideologies) in this film. You see... comparisons between these two cult films are obvious. Both the films try to pass on a message at the end... Munna turned out to be a Godly doctor in the end of the earlier release even when he supposedly hadn't passed std X, how he did that is history; here he turned out to be the best professor... can you believe it; that he is a professor was initially a galti se mistake to impress his lady love, in the beginning of the film. And you know what he taught? stressing on the ideologies and leading life the Gandhian way.
Gandhiism will definitely get a new zeal of life through this film. Like his famous feeling uttered by Munna has done wonders... 'Gandhiji need not be there as statues in parks or the crossing of roads, need not be there in photo frames, or in the notes... but should find space in peoples's heart'. His sentiments are no longer accepted in the modern world... but Munna fights a modern battle in his Satyagraha way.
I would write nothing more... everybody should go and see the film by themselves. Lage raho Munnabhai... and give us more movies like this. Cheers......
