Excellent!

Incredible movie! The comedy was expected, and having developed his characters so well, Rajkumar Hirani couldn't possibly not make people laugh in this movie, but the most inspiring aspect was the message which was conveyed in such a beautiful, unpreachy way, something the audience would connect to. Definitely, no documentaries or books about Mahatma Gandhi could have had such an impact on the audience, and after watching this movie, I respect him much much more.

The screenplay and direction was flawless. There was not a single moment when you wanted to take your eyes away from the screen, and the dialogues were as good as the first part, in fact better. Sanjay Dutt and Munnabhai are made for each other, and he couldn't have played the role better. But yeah, without Arshad Warsi, the movie wouldn't be half as good, and like the previous one, he's delivered. Vidya Balan really adds life to the movie, and if you really want to compare, I'd say she's done much better than Gracy Singh in the previous one. Incredibly beautiful, and she's got grace, I can only but praise her in this movie. Boman Irani, Diya Mirza and others have done there bit, and Hirani has very nicely used all these characters around the main ones. And last but not the least, Mahatma Gandhi, played by Dilip Prabhavalkar is something you will not forget. Throughout the movie, he wears this enlightened smile you fall in love with!

The movie does have technical glitches, for instance, if vidya balan works at worldspace, how did her show air on FM radio and things like that, but you don't really care much about these things when you've just been through 2 and half hrs of sheer entertainment, where you laughed, cried, and every possible emotion you can go through with a movie. The movie has an incredible feel-good factor to it.

So all said and done, the movie is a must watch, watch it asap! I doubt I'd find a single person around me who wouldn't like it.

After Black, Bollywood comes up with another classic this year (no comparisons though). A very touching movie indeed, with awesome performances by every actor, especially Vidya. I cant imagine anyone else in that role, and no one could've done it better than her. When she cries, it hurts you too, and when a film can do that, its worth all the praise! Hats off to everyone involved. The only negative in the movie is obviously the filmi ending with the 'tod de shekhar' thing, but that can pass....The music of the movie couldn't have been better. And the same goes for the starcast. A must watch film, with great music and great everything in fact. I would love to watch it again and again.

well, I never thought bollywood could come out with such a masterpiece! everything about the movie was awesome... and not a single soul in the hall was untouched by the incredible screenplay. Every actor was fabulous. Especially the girl... hats off to ya! Its been a long time or maybe the first time I've come out of a movie hall with such moist eyes. I guess the best scene was the one where the girl goes into the water which ends with her saying 'mother'... All the scenes were perfectly crafted. Also, the cinematography was awesome and creative..with wonderful colors and all. wow! A wonderful movie by a wonderful director! Plz make more movies like these.....
