Munnbhai Lage Raho - Fantastic !

We saw Munnabhai Lage Raho, the second in the Munnabhai series and boy! - it is an amazing movie. It is better than the first one and both Sanjay Dutt as Munnabhai and Arshad Warsi as Circuit really come into their own in this movie. The movie preaches the values of truth and non-violence or in short "Gandhigiri" but it is conveyed in the subtlest of manners. It aims to tell you to be good without being preachy. How it manages to do that is basically what the movie is all about. I don't want to reveal the plot but it is one heck of a movie - you will love it from the beginning to the end.

All the characters are very well etched - all the actors perform superlatively. Apart from Dutt and Warsi, Vidya Balan excels as Munna's love interest Jhanvi, Boman Irani is good as the wicked and cunning builder and of course, Dilip Prabhavalkar is great as Mahatma Gandhi. As a closing note, I must mention the performance of Arshad Warsi as Circuit. Seeing him play this role, you know that this man is so immensely talented - he is a natural on the screen and it clearly shows. He was born to do this role and he does it to perfection.

Go watch Munnabhai - in the meantime, Munnabhai ... Lage Raho!
