Lage Raho Munna Bhai

Did you know that Lage Raho Munna Bhai "is the third top grossing Bollywood film of the 21st century, according to boxofficeindia.com"? The Wikipediat article describes the Rajkumar Hirani directed / Vidhu Vinod Chopra produced film as "a 2006 Indian musical comedy film ... Sanjay Dutt stars in this film as Munna Bhai, a Mumbai (Bombay) underworld don, who begins to see the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi. Through his interactions with the image of Gandhi, Munna Bhai begins to practice what he calls Gandhigiri (Satyagraha, non-violence, and truth) to help ordinary people solve their problems. His sidekick, Circuit, is portrayed by Arshad Warsi."

Apparently this led to a surgence/resurgence of Gandhism now rebuzzed as Gandhigiri
