I bought this because I saw the film in the cinema and loved it. However, the DVD version suffers from having English subtitles that are less 'poetic' than the film version. The only examples I can call to mind is changing calling someone 'Uncle' to calling them 'Dude' and changing 'Manglik' to 'My stars are cursed' but there were many others. Basically, they took a lot of the Indian flavour of the dialogue and changed it to be very English/American in style. This wasn't necessary in my opinion as, although I might not have known what 'Manglik' meant, it was obvious from the context, ditto the other changes. It quite literally loses something in this translation - but it is still a wonderful film!

Munna (Sanjay Dutt), small time crook and enforcer for a property developer, is in love with the voice of Jhanvi (Vidya Balan) on the radio. So when a competition on Ghandi, with first prize a visit to the radio station, is announced, he and sidekick Circuit (inveterate scene stealer Arshad Warsi) cheat to ensure he wins. In an effort to carry on the deceit, Munna studies at the Ghandi library until, hazy through lack of sleep, he begins to see and talk with the ghost of the great man himself. While Munna promotes Ghandiism to impress his love, his dishonest boss is plotting to steal the home she shares with her grandfather and his old friends. Soon, Munna has to rely on the spirit of Ghandi to redeem his boss, save the house and regain his love.
This is a true feel-good film, bathed in sunshine, with bright primary colours and maximum use of the Mumbai seafront. The songs are brilliantly catchy and the subtitles top-quality. Watching two not too bright crooks struggle to embrace the principles of truth and non-violence is hilarious, and Vidya Balan plays the straight man, ok woman, to their comedy duo with both grace and charm. The film touches gently on serious subjects without ever being preachy and, even at the end, leaves you to choose whether Munna is suffering from delusions or genuinely communicating with Ghandi.
If you watch this film, I guarantee you'll come away with a smile on your face.

If you like Indian movies,this film has got to be on your list.The only film ever not to go OTT with the plot.I always dreaded the song and dance routines in Bollywood films but in Lage Raho Munna Bhai ALL the songs were simply SUPERB.The actors were brilliant,the story line had a feel-good element to it.And including the Ghandi factor was pure genius.First movie since The Godfather where the sequel outshone the original.Just AWESOME!
