Munnabhai 3… Nah!

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

It could have been a documentary with a social message but then “” is just a half baked film. Despite a half decent concept, it changes gear from talking about today’s harsh realities of the debt culture to hilariously implausible Bollywood fiction. The story revolves around four individuals caught in the vicious debt trap of EMIs just to fulfill their short term desires.

Ryan (Arjun Rampal), a DJ at a nightclub, buys loads of credit cards to maintain a lavish lifestyle; Anil and Shilpa (Ashish Chaudhary and Neha Uberoi) take loans to fund their wedding, house, and honeymoon; Chandrakant (Kulbushan Kharbanada) takes a loan for his teenage son’s foreign education and Prerna (Urmila Matondkar) takes a loan to manipulate the case of her husband’s suicide to claim insurance cover.

Having been fiscally profligate, all of them default on their monthly installments and thus their bank hires Sattar Bhai’s (Sanjay Dutt) recovery agency to get their money back. However, after meeting Prerna, the goon in Sattar Bhai vanishes and he suddenly embraces the good ol’ Munnabhai mould. Rather than thrashing the defaulters into repaying the money, he helps them solve their problems.

It seems that after “Munnabhai MBBS” and “Lage Raho...”, Sanjay Dutt is stuck with the bhai image. Undoubtedly no one in the industry can be a better bhai than Sanju Baba but this time it just turns out to be quite trite. Arjun Rampal, after being solid in “OSO” and “Rock On”, disappoints, Malaika Arora Khan is best as a glorified dancer and is just about okay in terms of acting and Urmila doesn’t offer much to comment about. The first half is passable fare but the movie loses pace thereafter and moves from reality to a world of its own. Dialogues like “Are you sure?” No, I’m Arjun!” are mundane and make you cringe and say “No, Thank You” for this movie.
