BOLE TO GANDHIGIRI MAST HAI!

Im sure by this time every movie buff would have seen Lage Raho munnabhai and written loads about and have spoken even more about it.Sure,sometimes one gets the feeling the media is
overdoing the hype,but believe me if the media is doing anything right for the first time its this.When they have time to say that Angelina jolie was sighted at some pune lounge and make that a flash news they sure can spend some time popularising this fantastic work of celluloid.


Its fantastic because it has got a message and not to mention its commercial.There are a plethora of movies with a "message-with-a-difference" tag but most of them are horse shit cause they are preachy.To those who say this movie is preachy,I do accept there are some dialogues in the movie which could have been avoided but im not here to critique the movie.I leave that to better minds.

The most refreshing part about the movie for me is the fact they were able to make a movie that made gandhi cool and never once did they bring up the "videshi" lifestyle funda.I mean this movie had the potential to turn out into one of those that could have gone horribly wrong getting too high in desi sentiments but kudos to the director on having avoided that.

There is a general opinion that Ahimsa does not have a place in such an uncivilsed society.The movie answers them quite hittingly.You cheer for that old guy when he strips to get his pension.Thats the power of Ahimsa.Bravo! for bringing Bapu into the limelight.Its about time.

And lastly i would to draw a parallel with a very similar yet starkly contrasting movie,Rang De basanthi.The theme of both the movies was the same-Bringing about a change.Only that the methods adopted were different.Sure,both were noteworthy attempts,Infact RDB scores in screenplay and plot-delineation over Lage Raho,but to me,stripping in front of ann officer,on any day, scores over killing a minister.

So,those of you who havent seen the movie,please do.Cos,its not always that bollywood serves you clean unadulterated fun yet leaves you thinking at the end of it all.
