"Dil Khush ho gaya, Month end ki closing ke baad aisi picture dekhne mein mazaa aata hain. Closing ke barey mein bhul jate ho" This is what i overheard from a couple of guys who had come to the movie. They had just been through the rigours of the month end closing for their sales job (presumably) and guess the closing dint go well. They came to watch this movie for the same purpose as any other movie goer, to forget their worries and feel good ...Lagey Raho made them feel great!!
Rajkumar Hirani comes out with another masterpiece. After his debut film Munnabhai MBBS, he lives up to the high expectations of the viewers and does not disappoint the followers one bit. Lagey Raho Munnabhai is not a sequel.. it is a continuation of the Munna-Circuit Series and that is what helps Hirani pull off a class act.
Unlike the sorry attempts like Krish and Phir Hera Pheri where there was a very weak and flawed attempt to connect with the previous film, Lagey Raho.. is just an extension to the basic concept of using the characteres of Munna and Circuit and their simple experiences to come forth with a message.
The movie has Munna going gaga over Vidya Balan whom he has been devotedly hearing over the radio. He poses as a prof in order to impress her and befriends her. Love blossoms between the two. Akin to the hospital in Munnabhai MBBS we have a large bungalow called 2nd Innings house in use in this film which houses a group of elderly people who have been sent away by their children. Munna ends up getting involved in a fight with his long time friend Lucky Singh (a real esate warlord with a difference) to try and win back the old age home.
The movie uses this backdrop to try and put forth some of the teachings of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.The best thing about the film are the dialogues and the simple method used for story telling.
The music in the film is not outstanding but the way in which all the songs have been used brilliantly in true situational style jut to aid story telling rather than the current practise of totaly out of place nonsensical timing of songs really adds a great deal to the experience. Rajkumar Hirani's use of music and songs is a must learn lesson for all directors who throw in arbit songs and arbit scenes just for commercial purposes.

Must Watch movie,will be easily one of the best movies this year.
