Next Up: Munnabhai LLB.




Who can be a better lawyer than Munnabhai, with circuit on his side 24/7. He has all the qualities of a good lawyer in his own tapori way.

Fact consciousness. An insistence on getting the facts, checking their accuracy, and sloughing off the element of conclusion and opinion.

A sense of relevance. The capacity to recognize what is relevant to the issue at hand and to cut away irrelevant facts, opinions, and emotions which can cloud the issue.

Comprehensiveness. The capacity to see all sides of the problem, all factors that bear upon it, and all possible ways of approaching it.

Foresight. The capacity to take the long view, to anticipate remote and collateral consequences, to look several moves ahead in the particular chess gam e that is being played.

Lingual sophistication. An immunity to being fooled by words and catch phrases; a refusal to accept verbal solutions which merely conceal the problem.

Bole to Sanjay Dutt ka acting ekdum mast. Sahi hai baap! Ekdum jhakaas!
