Crooks that tickle the funnybone!

Sanjay Dutt as Ballu in Khal Nayak and Munnabhai in Munnabhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munnabhai and Hum Kisise Kum Nahin

What can you say about an outlaw who dresses up in ghagras and struts to Choli ke peeche kya hai?

For most part of Subhash Ghai's lavish drama, Dutt is a whimsical rebel on the run. But when it comes to having fun, Ballu sure knows how to bring the house down.

From goondagiri to Gandhigiri, the actor has done it all. Not to forget his eager sidekick, Circuit (Arshad Warsi). The Munnabhai films saw the swindling bully and his loyal comrade practice the art of kicking and reform with admirable gusto.

In Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, Dutt's Munnabhai, an underworld don, didn't rely on jadoos ki jhappis alone. This desi version of Analyse This saw Dutt trip badly for his shrink's (Amitabh Bachchan) beautiful daughter, (Aishwarya Rai).

A fairly funny premise, let down by a feeble script and incompetent direction.
