These were my expressions after exams.
At the theatre entrance gate: Yippee! Let’s watch KHNH.{guess I am the only soul who has not watched it as yet}
--Probability of tickets [POT]: 95% {can probability be expressed in %?}
At the tickets counter: Hope we get them …pleez, God Pleez
--POT: 55%
At the counter window: Sorry Mam {or is it mamu.?}only Munna…available.
--POT: 0%
~~So thus they entered the theatre unhappy, but happy ever after…
One sec, did I say unhappy or did I mean happy?
Read on to find out...
MUNNA Bhai M.B.B.S:
Doesn’t this name put you in a fix? A Bhai and a M.B.B.S? Not, if you have seen the trailors and heard or read the story.
~~The Concept~~
Can medicine be the only cure to an illness?
Can a bhai become a doctor?
Can Love and care heal an aching body .
Basically this movie has a basic base of love and care as a magical medicine.
A village runaway , naughty and good for nothing kinda boy comes to the city in hopes of making it big-time. He falls prey into doing wrong things a.k.a Dadagiri and Bhaigiriunder the name of social service. To such extent was his Shan Pattithat he fools his parents by keeping them under the impression that he is a doctor, a full-fledged hospital runs under his supervision!{what a …never mind!}
His eyes open wide{aankhein khul gayi}when his father learns the truth and is heartbroken.{boo hoo hoo ..iske liye kya maine isko bada kiya?..}
What does Munna do to make up for his mistake? Why Munna bhai “M.BB.S” ?
What is Gracy Singh a.k.a chingi doing in this movie?
Watch the movie to find out…
~~Performances~~
I am not a great fan of Sanjay Dutt…In fact; I wouldn’t have been able to stand him if it wasn’t for this movie.I myself, was surprised finding myself praising his acting.He has intelligently and comfortably adjusted himself to the Bhaigiri language and 'ishstyle'.
Arshad Warsi {short circuit as his name in the movie} plays the role of a faithful friend.
Dr.Asthana.plays the role of a serious ,egoistic doctor and a caring father.That’s it!
I felt that he was rather rude towards others.
Sunil Dutt and Rohini Hatangadi play Munna’s parents.They don’t have much role but whatever they had they played well.
Gracy Singh looks pretty, must say. She expresses well. Her every dialogue is accompanied by adorable expressions.I felt she did better than Lagaan .
Jimmy Shergill plays a patient’s role. Though he doesn’t look like one.He appears enthusiastic and glee throughout…Bole to ,Thanks to Munna’s medicine.
~~Other features~~
- Music and songs are mediocre. I won’t advice anyone to buy the music. But
Keeping in mind the concept of the movie no better songs could be composed.
To be honest, I don’t understand much about direction and production .So can’t comment on that.
Choreography was good.
~~Flaws~~
1.Some scenes are over exaggerated. There is one scene in which Munna converts his home into a hospital in few hours…Now is that possible?
2.He hurts himself so that he can remain in the hospital. How can someone hurt oneself and still smile?
3.A cabaret is done in the hospital to make a patient happy. What a way to make someone happy.And doesn’t that singing and dancing disturb the other patients.
Anyway, flaws are not there in which Bollywood flick? Keeping aside these flaws and assuming that such things happen only in movies one can enjoy this humour-filled movie, I assure that.
Watch out for:
1 Jaadu ki Jhappi- a cute term given to a hug by Munna.
2.Ragging in the college…fun to know that now juniors can rag seniors!
- Dr. Asthana’s laughter remedy. He actually starts laughing when he is angry. Now that is hilarious.
In short, one can watch this with friends or family. Their company, soft comments, laughter add 100% more to the fun , wat say?
Comments are more than welcome…
