"Lage Raho Munna Bhai" is a Hindi comedy-drama film released in 2006, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. It is the second installment in the "Munna Bhai" series and stars Sanjay Dutt as Munna Bhai and Arshad Warsi as his sidekick Circuit.
The story follows the adventures of Munna Bhai, a lovable goon with a heart of gold, who has transformed into a "Gandhigiri" practitioner after being inspired by the teachings and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. Munna Bhai's love interest in the film is Janhvi (Vidya Balan), a radio jockey whom he falls for.
Munna Bhai, along with Circuit, finds himself in a series of comical situations and encounters as he tries to live by Gandhian principles in his own unique way. He becomes a well-known and respected personality in his community, often helping people with his unorthodox but effective methods.
However, the real challenge arises when Munna Bhai discovers that Janhvi's father, Parshuram (Dilip Prabhavalkar), is a prominent social activist who has been fighting for the rights of the poor and homeless people in the city. Munna Bhai, in an attempt to impress Janhvi and her father, decides to meet Parshuram and prove his sincerity.
To make matters more complicated, Munna Bhai starts hallucinating and sees the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi (Dilip Prabhavalkar) who guides and advises him on his journey. Munna Bhai's interactions with the spiritual Gandhi provide moments of wisdom, reflection, and humor throughout the film.
With the help of Circuit, Munna Bhai tries to convince Parshuram that he is a changed man and genuinely interested in serving the community. They embark on a mission to save Parshuram's house from being demolished by corrupt politicians. Along the way, they face obstacles, including misunderstandings, deceptions, and a tense courtroom drama.
Through his Gandhigiri approach, Munna Bhai aims to bring about positive change in society, spreading messages of non-violence, truth, and compassion. The film emphasizes the importance of humanity, forgiveness, and the power of love and understanding.
"Lage Raho Munna Bhai" was critically acclaimed for its engaging storyline, stellar performances, and the integration of Mahatma Gandhi's principles in a contemporary setting.
