Lagey Raho!

Hilarious! Total Paisa Vasool! Bole to ek dum jhakaas! That's Munnabhai-II for you. The reviews talked about Munnabhai & Bapu performing a 'past meets present' drama and I really didn't know what to expect. If nothing else was watchable, Vidya Balan would keep me occupied, so I decided to take the risk.

In the movie, Vidya Balan got pushed to the sidelines. This was a total Munnabhai (Sanju Baba), Circuit (Arshad Warsi) and Lucky Singh (Boman Irani) act! They stole the show with their hilarious antics and dialogues. An hour after the movie, I still can't stop laughing!

Munnabhai is fida over an RJ and he uses his usual trick to win a quiz and meet her. He convinces her that he is a professor and a fan of Bapu. When she calls him over to her place and deliver a lecture on Bapu, Munna tries to cram history at a library. This is when he has a chance meeting with Bapu himself. How this interaction changes Munnabhai and the life of all around him is what the movie is about. It touches social issues without being preachy or sentimental. I am sure even M.K. Gandhi would have loved this movie! :)

Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani are my new favourite comedians! Boy, they simply rock! Lagey Raho Munnabhai, Lagey Raho! :P
