DIRECTOR RAJKUMAR HIRANI REVISITS THE CHAOTIC WORLD OF MUMBAI HUSTLERS MUNNA AND CIRCUIT IN THIS IMPRESSIVE FOLLOW-UP TO HIS 2003 HIT MUNNABHAI MBBS.
Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi reprise their roles as the goons with hearts of gold, turning in charming comic performances that are complemented by moments of tenderness and endearing innocence. Now a successful businessman, Munna’s thoughts have turned to love and he’s besotted with radio DJ Jhanvi (Vidya Balan). He contrives a way of meeting Jhanvi, who is led to believe that Munna is a history professor and an expert on Gandhi. Munna begins to read everything he can about the great Indian leader, who appears to him as a ghost, and even develops his own version of Gandhi’s philosophy. Without ever losing its sense of fun, the film makes serious points about Gandhi’s place in contemporary Indian society. Director Hirani has a rare gift for effortlessly combing quite sensitive drama with broad comedy and spectacular song and dance numbers. The results make for a truly magnificent entertainment.
