Quotes
About Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003): "It's a kind of satire on the medical profession, but at
the same time, it's a fun film, though not a slapstick comedy. The
jokes and dialogs aren't written to evoke a forced laughter; I'd say
it's situational. Munnabhai is comical because of the way he is. But at
the core, it's a very emotional film. It will be a really fantastic
film. The script is amazingly hilarious. It's not an inspired story,
it's original. Munnabhai was one role I couldn't refuse, as it's in a
league of its own. Suddenly, due to one jhatka in his life, he decides
to become a doctor. So how a bhai enrolls in a medical college and goes
to study medicine is very funny as an idea."
