Lage Raho Rajkumar Hirani and gang

I have pretty much stopped watching movies - too long, too hackneyed, too boring, too crowded, too braindead for my liking.

However, we went yesterday to Lage Raho Munnabhai and boy, did we enjoy it? Hilariously funny, thought-provoking, fast-paced - excellent movie. The hero, in my book anyway, was the director and screenplay writer - Raju Hirani and a dude called Abhijat Joshi. Kudos, gentlemen - to have the balls to write a script like this, weave in Gandhiji, make the whole thing contemporary, add humour, keep the pace going for 3 hours, and make it appealing to SEC A guys like wifey and me, as well as lower SEC junta in rural Bihar. It requires a special creative talent to make something like this happen.

If you haven't watched it, please go. I recommend a good multiplex, buy some good food and drinks, pay a bit extra for good seats and indulge yourself. We spent a good 600 Rs for food, parking and tickets - can't think of better ways of spending that money.
