One of the most over-hyped and overrated movies! The concept of 'gandhigiri' is interesting but the way it's used in this melodramatic, boring, inconsistent and lackluster film is childish. The performances are unimpressive and the toning and cutting down of Circuit is a crime. He was the best thing in the first movie and here he is wasted. Sanjay Dutt reprises his role and brings nothing new. Pretty much the same cast of the first film is repeated with the exception of Gracy Singh who has been replaced by the two beauties of 'Parineeta' (both of whom fail to deliver and Balan's 'Goooood Moooooorrrrning' is mind-numbing). Boman Irani is annoying, again. The soundtrack is forgettable and cinematography is drab. Hirani's direction lacks flow and skill. It's almost as if a hack like David Dhawan made the film. Someone needs to tell the director that merely having a good message is not enough to make a good film. Given that, this movie had potential to be great but alas! Even Gandhi is portrayed as a pathetic caricature. Moreover some heavy editing was required because of the dragging pace. The Sanjay Dutt- Vidya Balan romantic track is unconvincing. This is one of the most boring films of 2006.

Lage raho munnabhai.....what to say about this movie.I think this is the most positive & optimistic movie ever made in Indian cinema.Its not a movie showing life of Gandhi and his principles but tells you how these principles can be practically implemented to solve some very common problems like corruption.......using gandhigiri.This movie is a good blend of comedy,emotions and of course gandhigiri.Everybody has done good acting especially Arshad Warsi.I am sure after watching you will never forget this movie.If faced by situations shown in the movie,in real life, you will always be guided by their solutions as shown.So do not just watch this movie for entertainment but also try to take the message it gives.............

This was a great movie. It was funny and entertaining, yet weaved a strong and very needed message through out the movie. It was great to see a movie that was able to entertain yet remind us of history and the message we may forget. I admired how the many different threads of this movie i.e. music, comedy, and history were brought together so well. Being American and having to read the sub-titles didn't take anything away from this movie for me. I was very moved by this movie, and would recommend it for every one to see. Sanjay Dutt being so handsome is an added plus in watching this movie ..wink..Labiba

This has got to be one of the most inspiring films made in the Indian Film Industry in the last decade. The other films I can think of are 'MunnaBhai MBBS', 'Hydrabad Blues' and 'Nayak'. Though HB was an independent effort. The script of LRMB is too good. When Boman Irani says "Get Well Soon Munna" it struck me so hard. The whole plot is in loops. Taxi driver and running bride already have a connection from the previous scenes. The script may not be air-tight but its definitely very well edited and has imaginative loops. Although the backdrop of the film is love story it actually is a social drama. Beautiful!!! The concept that Gandhiji only answers questions Munna already knew was just too much. That shows how tight and well thought out the plot actually is which looks like a regular comedy.Boman Irani is very good. Sanjay Dutt is convincing. Vidya Balan is just cute smiles. She was much better in 'Hum Panch'. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is great as usual. Arshad Warsi walked away with the glory this time. No doubt. He got the best lines and every time he got the home run. Dilip Prabhavalkar was also very convincing considering the kind of job he had to do. Theatre and films are two different medium. I will definitely see him on stage now. Diya Mirza has improved. Jimmy Shergil was also very impressive. It was nice to see Parikshat Sahni after so long. Although casting says three names in the writing department but we know for a fact that the brain behind this fantastic film is Rajkumar Hirani. Great Job. Must have been a journey for a sound editor in 'Hero Hiralal' to direct a film after 15 years and that too 'Munnabhai MBBS'. There are so many fantastic scenes in this film but my favorite is when lawyers beat up Gujju lawyer Dhansukh Bhai Patel. It's a very positive effort with many social messages. The most important things about the film are that it is very modern, talks about real issues with humor and is not preachy. 9/10
