Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003)

Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.: Directed by Rajkumar Hirani. With Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Gracy Singh, Sunil Dutt. A gangster sets out to fulfill his father’s dream of becoming a doctor.

“Inspired by the Hollywood movie u0026#39;Patch Adamu0026#39;, u0026#39;Munnabhai M.B.B.S.u0026#39; tells the comedic story of a thug who wants to become a doctor. The film has its major share of comedic moments and its dramatic moments. It is indeed an entertaining film with the famously lovable characters like Munnabhai and Circuit. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eRajkumar Hirani may have taken the idea of an older outsider wanting to become a doctor from u0026#39;Patch Adamsu0026#39; but in essence u0026#39;Munnabhai M.B.B.S.u0026#39; is its own film and it is the performances and comedy that make it worth the watch because most the dramatic moments are a little over the top. While the dialogue in the comedic scenes are witty and hilarious, the ones in the dramatic scenes are a mess.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSanjay Dutt totally nails Munnabhai. Itu0026#39;s hard to picture anyone else in the title role. The actor does full justice. It was nice to see Sunil Dutt after a long time and that too as father to his own son. The actor has a strong presence, even in a brief role. Gracy Singh is cute and adorable. Jimmy Shergill is awesome and holds his own as Zaheer and Boman Irani too does very well. However, it is Arshad Warsi who steals the show in a breakthrough performance as one of the most memorable film characters of recent time, Circuit.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMost of the songs are well balanced and are good additions to the film. I found Munnabhaiu0026#39;s romantic ballad hilarious when he tries to convince the suicider to cut the crap. On the technical side, itu0026#39;s alright. On the whole this is one enjoyable flick. One would have expected more from the second Munnabhai film which I found boring but why should that prevent the pleasure that comes from this movie?”
