The entire sequence of Pawan discovering that Munni is a Pakistani, is both laugh-out-loud funny and thought provoking. There are many scenes which stand out in the first half. The first half of the film is sluggish, mainly due to the forced love story of Pawan and Rasika (Kareena Kapoor in a guest appearance here, like most of her films) However, there are some enjoyable moments in the middle, particularly the initial interaction between Munni and Pawan (Salman Khan shows what good an actor he can be, when he’s working with an intelligent filmmaker) To be honest, it really is, but the treatment which Kabir Khan gives this film takes it to an altogether different level. The outline of the plot seems both clichéd and overtly melodramatic. We see shades of Munna Bhai in Pawan Kumar, the protagonist, who’s on a mission to dispatch Munni (an estranged 6 year old) to Pakistan.
A larger than life narrative, an utopia like treatment, a goofy righteous protagonist, and a need of the hour message. Watching Kabir Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan reminded me of the Munna Bhai films, especially Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Dayīajrangi Bhaijaan Review – It’s Salman Khan’s massy Munna Bhai!
