Vasool Raja MBBS

Kamal is the 'makku' payyan of a school teacher (Nagesh) and he elopes to Madras when he was young. In Madras he leads a rowdy life wherein he 'vasools' the money for lenders and get commission for that. Prabhu is his assistant cum friend and they have a huge team to run their 'business'. Meanwhile, Kamal lies to his parents that he is a doctor in Chennai and running a hospital in Nagesh's name. Whenever Nagesh and his wife come to see Kamal, he changes his house to look like a hospital and fools them.

Once Nagesh meets his erstwhile neighbour Prakashraj who is also a doctor and they agree to marry their children ie Kamal and obviously the heroine Sneha. Prakashraj later came to know that Kamal was a rowdy and cancels even the engagement without the knowledge of Sneha. Nagesh gets insulted by this and goes back to his village. Then Kamal vows to himself that he will become a doctor and then would marry Sneha. What he does to accomplish this is the rest of the story.

Kamal and Crazy Mohan are at their hilarious best particularly in the first half. But also there is a message in the film like in Anbe Sivam. There was a stress to the doctors to treat their patients like living humans and not like just another 'case'. There is also enough emphasis to cut down the formalities before admitting patients particularly during emergency situations and also in those cases of death. The film is really of very high moral value.

Kamal has also established that there is none in the industry even to get near him. His acting is really getting to greater heights in every film. Particularly his reaction when a patient dies of cancer was simply superb. Further, the way he changes his expressions from a funny situation to a serious one within the same scene was outstanding.

Sneha is absolutely ravishing. She really does a good job both in glamour and in acting. Prabhu does not have a 'huge' role like his body to play - still does a neat job. Prakashraj too does a commendable job. Almost everyone in the film have played their part well. I would definitely like to mention the role played by 'Kaka' Radhakrishnan. Hats off to the veteran.

The next important thing after Kamal in this film is its dialogues. Crazy Mohan has penned it too hilariously. Though there were areas wherein he includes his usual 'body - bra' jokes, he has done a great job which was also aided well by Kamal's timing. I dont think whether the director Saran would have got any role to do in this film but I opine that Kamal's films are better if he is not the director.

Then about music and songs. They are just ok. Both the duets are good and other songs are fine. Further, there is one sexy song which was aimed to delight a dying patient. But there was a slight tumble in handling those scenes related to that patient. That when he immediately starts dancing for that sexy song was a bit unacceptable. May be they could have handled it a bit more better.

Overall, the film was worth watching and I am sure that I will be seeing it for quite a lot of times. Also one thing that everyone has to bear in mind before going to the film is that this is not an out and out comedy film. This is a comedy film with a moral emphasis. I am not sure whether Munnabhai was this good but it couldn't have been better than this.
