*Release of "Lage Raho Munna Bhai", India's most popular movie of 2006. The sequel to the hit movie "Munna Bhai M.B.B.S." took the whole nation by a storm as the main protagonist of the movie Sanjay Dutt and his aide Arshad Warsi work their magic again albeit in a different manner. The Bhai log are back but this time they are here not with their dadagiri instead they are out here to spread the message of non-violence given by the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi through their "Gandhigiri".
