The concept of 'Lage Raho Munnabhai', which also stars Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani , is reportedly so refreshingly original, it defies definition.
Dutt plays the philosophical 'Bhai', Warsi is the hilarious and touchingly loyal 'Circuit', and Irani, Munnabhai’s adversary, who pits himself unsuccessfully against Munna, is a rich builder, whose Gurdaspur roots are very much evident, in his lingo, his demeanor and of course, in his heart.
The battle between Lucky Singh and his nemesis Munna, has all the ingredients of a laughathon.
Vidya plays Jahnvi, the radio jockey Munna has lost his heart to, even before he could set his eyes on her.
The twist in the tale comes when Munnabhai comes face-to face with Mahatma Gandhi (played by Dilip Prabhawalkar) and both stick to their respective philosophies even while they were compelled to work together, for the same goals.
Right from the word go, 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' is a laugh-a-minute roller coaster, so much so that the audience is taken by surprise when they find tears springing unexpectedly in their eyes, or when the film makes them pause and think.
'Lage Raho Munnabhai' is scheduled to release on September 1, 2006.
