Gandhigiri...sounds cool!

Have to admit that I have not had the privilege to watch it. Had been to PVR today for a late night show, but the tickets were sold out. 3rd week and a Monday night to add to that! This might just be the biggest blockbuster after Shloay..well hopefully im not going hyper over it and blogging my conclusions without watching the sequel of the Munna - Circuit riproaring comedy Munna Bhai MBBS..Well some beg to differ that the movie was never a comedy..All respects to them for their thoughts :)

Coming back to the sequel..Where did the inspiration come from? None other than one of the most masaladar (spicy) news channel called star news...
They make a special story on everything and everybody...From the tiff between 2 celebs on a non descript TV channel to Rakhi Sawant to the boy who had been there in a tunnel for oh so long hours to god knows what...There's a special story for everything in this channel.

Mind you, they might just do a special series on yours truly if they come to know that I have done a special blog on "Lage Raho Munna Bhai"...;) Mark my word! Ahem ;)

Again coming back, this special story was really special. A hug to Star news for that! Inspired me to rush to the theatre as soon as it got over, irrespective of my schedules..
Not getting a tic is a different thing altogether..but yeah it did some real good cover on the story.

For instance, the guy who played Gandhiji apparently saw a pirated version of the movie being played in one of the night coaches. He complained the incident to the police and a case was filed against the company for showing pirated movies!
Now that, would he have done it if it was any other movie is a one crore rupees question. Nevertheless, the fact that it might serve as a lesson for other tour operators who show movies in their coaches is a satisfying feeling for a traveller!

Next good feel. Pop comes Raj Kumar Hirani. The reporter sticks the mike to his nose and asks the best cliche that could be asked..what's the response been like?
Hello, homework, someone please explain this reporter that my movie is a super duper hit!!! (Well that's your director thinking, not my words;)

And our magician, gleaming in the glory of showing the nation one of the finest samples of creative imagination recites an incident..

To quote -

"You see, the other day I got a call from one gentleman who said that after watching the movie he threw the ticket on the ground...but suddenly he realised that he should not be doing that..picked up the ticket from the ground and threw it in the dustbin.."

That's Gandhigiri at its best, I presume..and a nice one at that!

Heard that the movie is tax free in Delhi..and they want to show the same in the Parilament! Im sure that they would be quite fluent with the mamu language..and Gandhi? well, your optinism is as good as mine!!

Though I have not watched the movie, intend to watch it sometime, if the movie has and will be able to put in place a few things, we would be a great nation. The things which we as Indians should get in our head is as follows, again according to moi :

1. Do not piss on the roadside..That brick was not made for you to relieve yourself..And by the way, where will the poor dogs pee?

2. And the watery stains of that betel remains! When you build a house make sure you do not paint it! YOu got what i meant to say right? Target your house with that rather than roads, public toilets, neighbour's walls, dark corners of your office et al...

3. Do not honk when the traffic light is RED! Colorblind?

4. While at temples, do not push, shout, shove or belt out explitives to be in the front..remember you are at the temple!!

5. After cleaning your home, do not nicely pack the rubbish and neatly throw at your neighbour's door!

These are some of my suggestions..Make sure it is taken!!

Rest after watching Lage Raho Munna Bhai..Gandhigiri definitely seems cool!!!!

The Movie is very good...a good respite from melodramatic KANK where you identify with no one.

I recommend the movie. Sanju and Arshad are awesome

Rupali: Unfortunately the tics are sold out everywhere, everytime..must be a dinosaur hit eh ;)
yeah KANK apparently would be a movie which u might never relate to..but u kjnow what, there was a huge debate on national TV on the same...Going by what the reviews are lage raho was so much needed for us as Indians who have forgotten the basic values of existence:)

Yes does sound cool. Lot of deep rooted philosphy in light hearteds comedy.
Sanjay Dutt along with Arshaqd Warsi deserve some good praise.
Arshad Warsi deserves a National Award ... I think I am not the only person thinking on those tracks.

Huge debate on KANK!!!!You got to be kidding me !!
I am sure Karan sponsored it in order to nurse his ego that he made a serious film.
In the movie the way Shahrukh treats his kid is I would say close to abuse.No woman would give a second look to a guy who yells at a kid, let alone love him..And Rani loves him!!! Oh my God!If I were in her place I would have reported him to the police
