MUNNABHAI MBBS DICTIONARY


Some two or three years back,Bollywood, (India’s answer to Hollywood) gave us a hilarious comedy by the name of “Munnabhai MBBS”.
This was about a Mumbai Don who decides to get a degree in medicine by hook or by crook, just to impress his father who lives in a small town.
We were all in stitches throughout the picture.
This was followed with sequel “Lage Raho Munnabhai”. About the same don who tries to change the world by using Gandhism. This too was a very entertaining movie though it did not get the same laughs as the original.
For all those who understand Hindi I would advise to see both the movies. If they have problems with Hindi, they could try and get dubbed copies and watch the movies. I hope you do not burst.

Our own Lalit Narayan has sent us a dictionary of medical terms as understood by Munnabhai, the doctor.
