Mostly over

Well, the midsems are finally over (almost). And I will have to admit that they went by pretty disastrously. No need to elaborate further, as I have decided to not think about them until the results arrive.
So lets do a movie review, what? This time its Lage Raho Munnabhai.
This is the sequal to the immensely popular Munnabhai MBBS, which was given rave reviews by one and all. So how does Lage Raho do?
Again you follow the doings of Munnabhai and Circuit, in their efforts to bag a girl for Munna. In between Munna becomes convinced that Gandhi speaks to him, and becomes a proponent of Gandhism...Mumbaikar Ishtyle. Madness, Mystery and Mayhem ensue, until "le happy end" continues.
Good points of this movie:
It did not take itself too seriously.
The jokes were mostly situational, and not contrived.
There was an attempt at a plot, which is not common at all in Hindi Movies
Had some nifty songs (which I liked).

Not so good points:
It was not as laugh out loud funny as Munna 1.
While the plot was there, it was somewhat episodic in its handling. Its not something that I can explain easily...but it just felt like there were small discontinuities in scenes.

So all in all, the movie rates a watchable...maybe even a bit better. I liked the movie overall. And like the whole non-violence idea. Though the Bhai character of the movie suffered a lot as a result.

Well, the Zener Diode is still Work In Progress. Once I finish off with Management Accounting, hope to see it debut on my blog. But till then...Ta Ta!
