He is one of the finest actor. Perhaps the only one in the Bollywood who refused to buckle down in spite of terrible traumas and tragedies of life. Perhaps he is one of the best example of a never say die attitude. His guts and grits can be immensely motivating for persons running away from life and its realities.
His Bollywood journey has been both rocky and rocking. At a time when his professional obituary was almost being written he bounced back with "Munna Bhai MBBS".This movie became a runaway success and a cult classic.
He is one among the few in Bollywood who gets along famously with every one from the three Khans, to the macho Akshay and from big B to solo Govinda. His sheer presence in the movie screen has many times become reasons for the movie to create ripples at the box office. From Vastav to Khalnayak, from Aatish to Agneepeth he has always come out as a power house of superlative performance. I don't subscribe to any fan club yet I have seen almost all his movies. Many of them may not have been a paisa vasool but none were any disappointments. I have all my praise for him.
I feel he has been lucky getting away with 5 years imprisonment for his role in 1993 Mumbai Blast. Remember the blast was most destructive and left behind over 500 dead and 1000 crippled. Now don't you feel our most benevolent Munna Bhai should have given his "Jaduo ki Jhappi" to the Mubaites that day by informing the police about the conspiracy that was about to blast . Had he done so he would have become our Hero No1 beyond the reel into the real life. I am sure his act of safe keeping AK 47 and grenades cannot be called an act of innocence. After all he is not simply our Munna, he is our all time favorite Muna Bhai and I don't believe in calling Munnabhai a ...."Papu"!
