The team of Munnabhai MBBS is back with Lagey Raho Munnabhai. Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi, Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani - all the usual suspects are there but as far as music is concerned, things are a little different since Shantanu Moitra, who earlier composed for Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 'Parineeta', is roped in instead of Anu Malik, who was the composer for the first in the Munnabhai series. With Swanand Kirkire [the lyricist who got into limelight with Parineeta] being the major contributor as the song writer, one plays on to check if the album surpasses the score of 'Munnabhai MBBS' which picked up only after the film became a box office hit!

The sound of whistle that comes at the beginning of the title song 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' [and is also heard as a part of the chorus throughout the song] comes quite close to the signature tune of Titan watches. Well, apart from this similarity the song pretty much stays original and is in sync with the mood and theme of the film. Remaining true to the 'tapori' character of Munnabhai, the song is about the search of Munnabhai for his ideal woman! Vinod Rathod, who has been the voice for Sanjay Dutt for many a numbers, does a good job once again in this feel-good track that should enliven the proceedings on screen. The remix version that marks the end of the album has Shaan coming in place of Vinod Rathod. With a carnival feel given to this entire song orchestrated with western arrangements, it entertains yet again with Shaan making his presence felt.

Enjoyed the camaraderie of Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi in 'Munnabhai MBBS'? Then get set to relive the moments and enjoy further on with both coming behind the mike for 'Samjho Ho Hi Gaya'. Yet another 'tapori' number written by Swanand along with Farhad and Sajid, it has Sanjay Dutt sharing his experiences about his new found love with Vinod Rathod seamlessly taking over the singing part and both Dutt and Warsi interspersing the song with their one liners quite well. More than the rendition or the music, it is the lyrics that impress most as they tell a funny story with promise of a humorous picturization. Just like most of the tracks in the original film, this one too is mainly designed for the situation and does pretty well in that.
