Gandhigiri
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
Did you watch "Lage Raho Munnabhai"? No? Then go and watch now. This is a movie you can't afford to miss.
The Munna - Circuit pair is creating the magic again. But this time, through Satya and Ahimsa. In a time when people have started forgetting Gandhiji and his teaching, Rajkumar Hirani has made a great move by bringing back the thoughts. And that too in a style.
The movie is perfect combination of comedy, emotions and the thoughts. It makes you laugh whole time and then makes you think about it after you come out of theatre. The director has given equal importance to usual munnabhai and Gandhiji. This has been done without disturbing Gandhiji's image anywhere in the course of the movie.
The pension scene was the best one. The Diya's marriage scene when Circuit and Munna bhai deal with Batuk Maharaj was second best of the movie. Yet another was when Sanjay Dutt hits back the watchman saying "Jab dono galon pe mar mile to kya karna ye to Gandhiji ne nahi bataya.."
Boman Irani has given yet another fantastic performance in Lucky Singh's character. The snaps he takes with celebrities is absolute fun. Arshad Warsi was too good in managing the virtual Bapu.
Dilip Prabhavalkar has been so good in his make-up and acting that you won't recognize him until and unless you know this in well advance. My friends who read his name in the start were searching for him until the end of the movie. Abhishek Bacchan and Diya Mirza added the remaining flavour.
Few dialogues by Bapu are surely worth following. Such as "चाटा मारना आसान है, माफ़ी मांगना नही, ये कायरोंका काम नही है" and "अगर इन्सान की पहचान करनी है तो ये देखो की वो अपनेसे निचेवालोंसे किस तरह से बात करता है"..
You still reading this? Stop reading and watch the movie. Else you will regret not watching it.. :D
