Film Review: Munnabhai MBBS

Yup - so yesterday I finally got around to watching Munnaibhai MBBS - a Hindi film. I decided I 'd review it for all of you out there.

First, I 'd have to say that this film is really different from the usual assembly line type films that Bollywood usually chucks out to the audiences. This film, although it did have some boy-meets-girl stuff - actually had a unique and funny storyline. The story revolved around Munnabhai - a man who as a child ran away from his village and became a gangster - BUT - hisa parents believe that he is a doctor!

So everytime they visit him he has to put on the drama of being a doctor who has his own hospital ...unfortunately they find out and then he decides to prove himself and goes to medical school - albeit cheating on the entrance exam... and thats where the fun begins.

Although Munnabhai is a gangster he is actually quite a nice caring person and people at the medical school warm to him - that is everyone expect the Principal!

Overall this was a very funny film and I think a bit refreshing after all the similar hindi movies around today.
