Just try co-relating these character instances.
- Munna Bhai here becomes the Rancho, the protagonist, who swims against the tides in a "dead poets society" brandishing against all the norms. So the Doctor/ Radio Jockey is replaced by an intelligent engineering student.
- Here the role of Arshad Warsi is played by the duo of Sharman Joshi and Madhavan. They also double up the hapless "Jimmy Shergill" of both the version of Munna Bhai.
- Jadoo is Jappi / Gandhigiri is replaced by "ALL IS WELL".
- And eternal villain Boman Irani with his comic behaviour and predictive apologies at the end.
- Mistaken identity of the protagonist.
Raju Hirani has tread the tried and tested path of the formula for making a hit movie.
And able marketing. Trying to tap the large alumni market of all colleges in the growing indian economy who are willing to succumb to their newly inhabited habit of emulating the west and shed more money to be taken back to their memories by watching this movie. What else will make Aamir Khan still in demand and it just confirms that it is the same public who have grown watching Aamir movies since school days.
And it did have its result. Its is predicted this movie will the highest grosser of all time ( excluding Inflation and due respect to Sholay and DDLJ).
Without sounding too acerbic, this movie has its place and that works. And the new actor Omi Vaidya ,who palys Chatur, the alter ego of Rancho is a revelation. His dialogue delivery and his comic timings are second to none ( even Aamir's). Watch out his scene where he delivers a speech in "glory" of his professor.
Although all the jokes were a rehash but they were utterly enjoyable.
Overall, its a MUST Watch...in case you need to be taken back to your engineering days. And watch it with your friends if they are around.
