After giving a new lease of life to Gandhian ideals and receiving rave reviews, Bollywood blockbuster 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' has come in for praise from a new group -- psychiatrists. The Sanjay Dutt starrer Vidhu Vinod Chopra production, a sequel to the hilarious 'Munnabhai MBBS', is not all about adherance to Gandhian principles via 'Gandhigiri', but a movie on mental well-being, they say. The movie portrays a transient mental state in a very positive manner, they feel. The film contains certain spells of delusions undergone by lead character Munnabhai essayed by Dutt, in which he feels that he is able to see and communicate with Mahatma Gandhi. This is a typical portrayal of a mental state, according to psychiatrists at Schizophrenia Research Foundation (SCARF) here, which is why the movie was screened in the international film festival on mental health organised by it recently. "The film is not about mainstream psychiatry. The striking fact is that it depicts psychiatric symptoms in a very positive manner and not as the usual 'sop' story about mentally ill characters," Dr Mangala, Consultant Psychiatrist at SCARF, says.
