Lage Raho MUNNA BHAI


I very rarely watch Indian movies and this was an exceptional case where I found this movie laying around our place and I was completely bored out of my skull; so, I picked it up and went off to watch it on my DVD player.

Munna Bhai is one of those movies where you can just laugh from the actors' actions alongside the subtitled jokes that play along nicely in the theme of comedy, romance and a pinch of wisdom.

Amongst the advantages of this movies is the artistic direction that is given the approach such as that which was used in Moulin Rouge in one of the scenes. The whole story revolves around a gang leader that has a successful 'business' and his only pleasure is listening to the female voice of radio VJ every morning and participating in her show when and if he can. When the chance presents itself for him to meet her after winning one of the contests, he introduces himself as a history professor but along the line he meets one of the leading historical figures that changed the way his fellow nationals lived their lives in their own country.

From the often musical medleys that you find in Indian movies along with their dance routines, there is also the mature directive approach that the director has chosen to take this movie through. There is also the many pranks that you find the actors spluttering out to make you really laugh out loud.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone, any age even if you don't speak the native Indian language. You will truly find this movie entertaining.

Just be sure to keep your subtitles on.

LRMB is an absolute laugh riot. Try to watch – Munnabhai MBBS – the first film in the series. The movie was so popular that Hollywood has evinced interest in remaking it.

Wow.

Hollywood, you say?

Very interesting.

I'll see if I can get my hands on Munnabhai MBBS.

Thanks for that piece of information.
