lage raho munnabhai

When I was planning of this movie, I thought this is a simple extension of the dumb comedy. The only reason for going to this movie is to enjoy without thinking about it. But after the 2:30 hours of the movie, I can say one thing this is the one of the best hindi movies in a long time. Its been a while that bollywood had come up with two best movies in a year. I would say Rang De Basanti and Lage Raho were great. Both were on similar themes, try to compare the ideologies of the our freedom fighters fought and the situation in current india. One was using revolutionary background of bagat singh and the other is using mahatma's satyagraha.

I always thought mahatma's philosophy will not be viable in the current world. But this movie showed how his views can be used and how being honest and taking responibility of your actions can help you being a good human being. In daily life, we are always worried about other peoples opinion and what they think of us. May be its time we do what we wanted to do and being honest to your self and to the people around would help things get done in a right manner.

I thought of writing manythings, and so many people wrote many good things about this movie already, so dont wanna bore you all with this.

Finally, just wanna say excellent movie by director Hirwani and movies like these make people think about what a great nation we are from and how we all can be a different beings.

so long.

Hey, nice write up.
I have never been a fan of Gandhi and don't agree with many of his ideology. And many of his ideologies are still around, used for wrong reasons. Eg. dharnas that every party takes out or walk out of work as Bank employees do.

But as U said its a good movie and instead of big boring leture, well put into a comedy.
