Lage Raho Munnabhai: Life is beautiful


I have been eagerly waiting for the sequel of Munnabhai MBBS and expected it to be a good movie with nice humor, but the movie turned out to be a complete surprise with complete laugh riot and a great social message.
The movies with social messages are generally serious though entertaining like Rang De Basanti but Lage Raho Munnabhai doesn’t make you serious for any moment and still delivers the message of living beautifully in this stressful world.
The movie focuses on the forgotten idealism of Gandhi and tries to bring it back in the society. It makes you believe that life is not about acrimonies, bitterness with each other, but in living with harmony and enjoying the every moment of life.
The movie revolves around Sanjay Dutt Munnabhai who tries to win his love and save an old age home called second innings from a rich and, greedy builder by following and spreading Gandhi’s philosophies. He not only wins the girl, but wins the heart of many people in the movies through his Gandhian attitude of problem solving. No doubt he has won my heart also.
I would like to give full credit to the director Vidhu Vinod Chopra for making such wonderful movies. The star cast is perfect with excellent acting from Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani.
I may sound a bit exaggerated but its my honest opinion that it should go for Academy Awards from India and can stand a good chance to may be win a few. After all, delivering such a strong message with excellent humor and entertainment is something very uncommon.
I think all the movie fanatic should watch this movie on DVD or if possible in theater, because this movie is worth watching and will leave its freshness in ones soul and mind for a long time with a strong belief in Life is beautiful
