Munna Bhai MBBS - DVD 2004

If you're not very familiar with Hindi cinema, the Munna Bhai films should be at the top of your list, as they introduce everything that is great about "bollywood" movies. Sanjay Dutt, who plays Munna, is a huge star in India, and this role reinvigorated his career after some rough patches in his life. His father in the film is played by his own real-life father, Sunil Dutt. The fact that Sunil Dutt would pass away two years after the release of this film lends even more poignancy to the scenes between father and son.Munna is a lovable gangster - despite his rough profession, his heart is always in the right place and he's surrounded by a community of friends and employees who love and depend on him. Sanjay Dutt fits the role as if it were written just for him. Arshad Warsi is perfect as Munna's ever-loyal sidekick. Boman Irani is a delightful and hilarious character actor (his appearance in the second Munna Bhai film is even more hilarious than in this one).The music is lovely and never over-the-top, and the playback singer Vinod Rathod (who sings Munna's lines) is the ideal voice for Sanjay Dutt. The film isn't simply comedy; it also offers a social critique of both the education and health care system in India. It might remind American audiences of the movie "Patch Adams", except this one is much better.There are some aspects which non-Indian audiences might find tricky. Some of the comedy is based on language - Munna and his friends speak a sort of low-brow slang - which can't come through in the subtitles very well. Also, the constant references to "bro" (the translation for "bhai", as in Munna Bhai) might seem odd to English speakers, but that's because we don't use the word "brother" in the same way that it's used in Hindi. There are certain catchphrases (like Munna and Circuit's repeated "no tension!") which might not be as funny if you don't pick up on them in the spoken dialogue.

This is an evergreen Bollywood comedy movie. Its influence can be felt in the fans of the Bollywood industry across the world as the continued love for the indelible characters here only grows. I re-watched this movie after maybe over a decade and still had a great time. Highly recommended.

Print is unwatchable. Waste of Money. Amazon should not allow such a bad print on its platform.

Excellent movie to watch with the family. This movie provides a lot of messages that help a person to understand the meaning of real life and how to enjoy and make others happy.

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Very funny, teaches a good lesson about education vs. humanity! Makes those in the medical field accept the god complex needs a break and just a touching movie in every way. Its funny, sensitive and dramatic. If you have not seen it, you are missing a really good movie!

One of the best bollywood movie with a message

Really enjoyed this movie, I highly recommend it! Simply amazing.

The quality looks like a recording of a movie theater showing. It’s so bad, we had to rent it elsewhere. Worst part is, you can’t even get money back.

This movie is one of Bollywood's greatest heartfelt comedies of all time. This movie is a gem of Hindi cinema. The DVD arrived on time and worked well in my PS4.

This film is a heart string one it makes you understand exactly what everyone's lives are about it is a mix of comedy fab songs and brilliant acting I love this film so much that I had to download all the songs for it and it was a fab film unfortunaly the 2nd one to this was a serious let down but this first one is brilliant worth watching

This film is just plain funny. Sure, there's a bit of a love interest in it that plays as romance, but the heart of the film is in the comedy.My English wife and children watched this (with subtitles) and fell about laughing. It's genuinely a feel-good film, although a couple of moments will make you think, and it leaves you feeling like you could watch it again - which we did.Highly recommended.

Lovely film .. somewhat eccentric but fun with a good message.

Classic heart touching social comedy - watch it again and again
