All of u prolly wonder wat Mahatma Gandhi has to do with this movie … n I feel the earlier title was good enuf … “Munna Bhai meets Mahatma Gandhi”. Coz this time it isnt only abt Munna and Circuit but how Bapu’s principles changes Munna the goon to Munna the good man … the Munna who was so use to beating ppl and stuff … how he changes his ways by following the Gandhi principles is smth one cld learn frm … like i always say ‘there is a nicer way of saying things and doing them’ … this movie too teaches exactly tat … eg. … instead of getting angry with some1 and abusing him….Munna sends him flowers and wishes him well… there r many such instances in the movie …

Top 15 Movies (2006) – Till August
Posted on 21. Aug, 2006 by musicNmovies.info in Exclusives
1. Rang De Basanti : Youthful, down-to-earth movie which packages so called boring ideas interestingly with dialogues that give a lump in your throat.
2. Omkara : Honesty is reflected everywhere. A wonderful movie with superb acting by Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Kokanana Sensharma.
3. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna : Path breaking yet traditional, emotional yet entertaining movie laced with perfect performances from all. Rani is spectacular.
4. Water : Sensible Indo-English Film by Deepa Mehta, about hard lives of widow.
5. Krrish: Awesome special effects, and Hrithik’s acting was amazing.
6. Gangster : Striking well made movie with such emotional undercurrents which maybe unnoticed by an ordinary viewer.
7. Taxi No.9211 : Fresh, contemporary and bring light to artificiality in modern relationships.
8. Malaamal Weekly : Rib-tickling mass movies. You will be rolling on your seats which is great for a starless movie.
9. Chup Chup Ke : Priyadarshan packages content in an entertainment mode. It doesnot mock physically challenged anyways. Shaih and Rajpal Yadav are hilarious.
10. Corporate : A slick movie on an alien theme. We say a different Bipasha Basu and she was not anything less than other heroines of Madhur Bhandarkar’s films.
11. Ankahee : Disturbingly honest movie with lots of questions raced to the society. The girls, Esha and Amisha are great.
12. Fanaa: Not at all impressive, but Kajol !
13. Phir Hera Pheri: Silly, yet funny. Good to see team of Baburao, Raju And Shyam.
14. Aksar: Intresting plot, good acting.
15. Golmaal: Timepass comedy, nothing special about it.
So, there were musicNmovies Quick 15, what are yours ?
