- TriviaThe film's central plot and story (that of Musaddi, a school teacher, trying to prove that he is alive to get his pension) is based on the show's episode # 1 from the 1st season. Jokes like the pension office employees asking Musaddilal to prove that he is alive when in fact, he is asking them for pension; asking Musaddilal to bring any type of document to prove he is alive and Musaddilal slapping one of the corrupt pension officer are some of the sequences that can be seen in the film as well.
Featured review
I will say give a try to this movie. You are going to love Mussadi, Patel, Bhatiya, Pandey, Ushaji and shukla
When it released, all India was fighting against the corruption with the Anna hazaare. Whole surrounding environment was talking about corruption and at that time this movie came. It was the perfect time for the movie but still it wasn't so successful.
Story: Mussaddi Lal (Pankaj Kapoor), a retired school teacher goes on a pilgrimage for three months after his wife's death. When he returns, he finds his pension has been stopped and the pension office has declared him dead. What follows is his endless struggle against the petty corruption in the government office where the infamous gang of five which are determined to fleece him till the very end.
The movie is about aam aadmi (no not about mango man ya common man) who faces corruption in every situation. Script is very well written and executed. To make a movie from serial is a tough work which Rajiv mehra (Director) has done very well.
In acting department there are all the actors which should be there in the movie. If I have to say anything about pankaj kapoor than I will say Hats Off to this man. He works so perfect as we feel that he is really that character.
All other has done good work but I loved Deven bhojani's work too much among them. He executed all the different characters very well and fitted perfectly in all situations. Hope will see him more in the movies also.
In end we can say that movie is totally fun ride with a serious message like corruption with strong acting by everyone.
