Munnabhai MBBS - the beginning of Sanjay Dutt's redemption

Munnabhai MBBS (released in 2003) was a movie that gave a new lease of life to the career of Sanjay Dutt. His depiction of a hood / gangster with a heart of gold (it helped that they did not show almost any depiction of violence from his end) earned a lot of applause, and most viewers empathized with the character. Add in a humorous side-kick called circuit (played pretty well by Arshad Warsi), and you have a movie that did incredibly well, spawning multiple sequels (the released 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' and the yet-to-be-released 'Muhhabhai Chale America'). The movie was also very different from anything that had a Vidhu Vinod Chopra touch (he has always made intense, emotional movies); this could be because Chopra was not the director, the movie being directed by Rajkumar Hirani.



The movie won a fair number of awards in 2004, including Filmfare Critics Award for Best Movie, and also won awards in the Zee film awards. The movie also won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film (something that is pretty important for a movie to get). The movie also was one of the last movies where the late Sunil Dutt played a role. Munnabhai MBBS core message is about caring for people, whether they be patients (including terminal ones), or they can be other people you come into contact with (including complete strangers).
It's about this local dada called Munna Bhai. He does not want his parents (Sunil Dutt and Rohini Hattangadi) to know the truth about him, and since his father had always wanted him to be a doctor, he keeps up the pretence of being a doctor. This pretence was successful till the time that Sunil Dutt met his old friend, J S Asthana (the dean of a medical college and hospital - Imperial Institute of Medical Sciences) and arranged the marriage between Sanjay Dutt and Asthana's daughter, chinki (Gracy Singh). Dr. Asthana finds out Sanjay Dutt's reality and rejects the marriage, while insulting Sunil Dutt. Sunil Dutt is very angry with Sanjay and leaves back for his village.
Now, Sanjay Dutt wants to become a doctor, and arranges to get top score in an entrance test through the forced help of Dr. Rustam Pavri (Kurush Deboo). He succeeds with top score, but does not know that this is the same college where his enemy, Dr. Asthna is the head. And thus begins the struggle between them, where Dr. Asthana is convinced that Munna (Murli Prasad Sharma) is there by fraud, and Murli wants to frustrate the Dean. In the midst of all this, he also gets attracted to the attractive Doctor Suman (who he does not know is Chinki).
The movie is very enjoyable, especially as you get to see how Sanjay spreads the magic of the 'Jaadu ki jhappi' (the loving hug), which removes anger, spreads the healing power of friendship and love, and gets more people getting charmed by him. However, in the end, Munna realizes that being a Doctor is a noble profession and he is not certainly a doctor and leaves the hospital, making Dr. Asthana happy. However, there is an element of magic when Munna is leaving, as the long supposed brain dead patient Anand (whom Munna used to specially care for) regains his powers of speech, inspiring Dr. Suman to criticize her father. In the end, Murli marries Dr. Suman, and also manages to convert Dr. Asthana.

Subaha Ho Gayi Mamu (Sung by Shaan)

Chanda mama so gaye sooraj chachu jage
Dekho pakdo yaaron, ghadi ke kaante bhage

Chanda mama so gaye sooraj chachu jage
Dekho pakdo yaaron, ghadi ke kaante bhage
Ek kahani khatam to dooji shuru ho gayi mamu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, manu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, re manu
Chanda mama so gaye sooraj chachu jage
Dekho pakdo yaaron, ghadi ke kaante bhage

Chanda mama so gaye sooraj chachu jage

Kitne sikke jode sabko yeh chinta hai
Jeevan hai ik bank pal pal ko ginta hai
Kitne sikke jode sabko yeh chinta hai
Jeevan hai ik bank pal pal ko ginta hai
Dekho apne pyaar ki saving javan ho gayi mamu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, mamu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, re mamu

Kaise hanste jaayen jab koi rota hai
Kisi ka dil jo tode kaise vo sota hai
Kaise hanste jaayen jab koi rota hai
Kisi ka dil jo tode kaise vo sota hai
Aa main tere aansu ponchhu are rumaal de na mamu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, mamu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, re mamu
Chanda mama so gaye sooraj chachu jage
D ..Dekho pakdo yaaron, ghadi ke kaante bhage
Chanda mama so gaye sooraj chachu jage
Dekho pakdo yaaron, ghadi ke kaante bhage
Ek kahani khatam to dooji shuru ho gayi mamu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, manu
Subah ho gayi mamu, mamu, re manu

Dekh Le (Sung by SUNIDHI CHAUHAN, ANU MALIK)

Yaar zara mahol bana
Har par main utha sadiyon ka maza
jo beet gaya so beet gaya
jo beetna hai vo hans ke bita

Yaar zara mahol bana
har pal main pee bas ek dawa
jee khol ke jee, jee jaan se jee
kuch kam hi sahi par shaan se jee

Dekh le
aakhon main aakhen daal
seekh le
har pal main jeena yaar
soch le
jeevan ke pal hain char
yaad rakh
marna hai ek baar
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

dekh le
aakhon main aakhein daal
seekh le

baiyaan
khushiyon ki thaam ke baiyaan
gam ki marod kalaiyaan
gam ka yaaron gam mat karna
chhod de ab to har pal marna
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

dekh le
aakhon main aakhen daal
seekh le
har pal main jeena yaar
soch le
jeevan ke pal hain char
yaad rakh
marna hai ek baar
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

baiyaan
saanson ki khudh pe daale
baiyaan
jeevan hai barf ki naiya
naiya pighle haule haule
chahe hans le chahe ro le
marne se pahle jeena
seekh le

Dostana - Interesting movie

I consider Dostana a new age movie. Here is a movie that took a subject that arouses great controversies in India (remember the controversy about Fire?) and makes a comedy about it, if you ignore the last 30 minutes of drama. The movie is eminently watchable, and does not try to preach in any way. At the same time, since the concept of the movie is more about normal guys pretending to be homosexuals, the movie really does not dwell too much on the parts that tend to squeamish to straight people (there is hardly any hugging or other intimacy, or even romantic talk shown between the 2 leads), and hence the movie certainly will not be portrayed as a movie that can be seen as the coming of age of homosexual movies in Bollywood.
However, the movie treats homosexuality as perfectly normal, to the extent that normal, single (and easily sexed up guys - since the opening shot shows these 2 guys getting up from beds after having spent a night with women) and handsome guys decide to play gays in order to get a house. The other people in the movie do not seem to have any problem whatsoever with them, and even the Punjabi mother accepts the situation after the initial shock and ritually accepts the partner as her 'bahu'.


The movie starred three hot actors, Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, with the location set as Miami. Abhishek and John do not know each other, but run into each other a few times, most recently as when they are looking at the same house together. They are fascinated with the house that is available, but are told that they are not eligible since the young niece of the owner is already staying there, and 2 males in the same house will not be permissible. That is when they (with Abhishek taking the lead and John being more reluctant) decide to act as a gay couple. If they are a gay couple, then there is no problem, and they get the part. Things are going well, and they bond with the girl as well (and the scenes between them are fairly good).
There are circumstances in between, when one mother (Kiron Kher) turns up (since she receives a document confirming the gay relationship) and is horrified at the relationship her son is in, but she slowly accepts the relationship and is fine after that. There is an absolutely hilarious scene when Priyanka's boss (Boman Irani in a short but great role), who is quite obviously homosexual, comes for a party at her home (in fact, he is called since Priyanka wants to impress him in the hope that he will make her the boss before he leaves). He however, does not oblige, and makes Bobby Deol the new boss of the magazine.
Slowly, the duo finds that they are coming closer to her, while she is falling for Bobby Deol and he is falling for her. This is when the movie starts to lose its sheen; you start to see emotions being displayed and the story starts to stutter at this point. Maybe the actors were not really good for such a role. They plot as to how to separate these 2 (although there is one interesting situation whereby when Priyanka gets to know about their efforts, she suspects that these 2 are after Bobby Deol (not after her)). They eventually use Bobby's 5 year old son to plant differences and succeed in their plan (although Priyanka turns both of them down and kicks them out of the flat when they profess their love for her). In the end, they repent and try to bring them together.
Lot of skin show (including an item number by Shilpa Shetty), one great song (Maa Ka Ladla and maybe also Desigirl) and some good views of Miami. The movie is eminently watchable and worth buying and keeping. The movie is directed by Tarun Mansukhani, and produced by Karan Johar. Music is by Vishal-Shekhar.
