Raj Kumar Hirani- over-rated director?

I wouldn't like to tow the line and put it this way: Rajkumar Hirani 's direction is very repetitive and though the scripts may be novel, there is nothing new from him to offer as a director. His movies have one thing: one authority who is feared by many people and a protagonist who is willing to take him on through love and peace. In Munnabhai MBBS, Lagey Raho Munnabhai and 3 Idiots, Boman Irani's character was that of a hard task master or a tough to please guy. I would rather appreciate versatility in a director like Raj Kumar Santoshi who makes movies as different as Damini, Andaaz Apna Apna and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. or even Mani Rathnam whose Anjali is way different from Velu Nayakan.

What was so new in 3 Idiots? Do you own thing and dont be a herd mentality, well that's been done so many times. This subject is as cliched as Karan Johar's brand of cinema which he once tread in. But now at least Karan Johar has done something differnt and distinct with My Name is Khan.

Even so many scenes in Raj Kumar Hirani's films are similiar and copy of each other: the scene in which the professor asks Rancho to teach something in the class is similar to Boman Irani's character asking Sanjay Dutt to do an operation on the deadbody in Munnabhai MBBS. The ragging scene was present in Lage Raho Munnabhai and 3 Idiots. What Hirani does is take a buzzword like 'jadhu ki jhappi' 'gandhigiri' or 'all izz well' and uses it to the skies, digging it into the minds of people as if it was the mantra to get love, success and all the good things that make life beautiful And then we have the toilet humor, the slapstick humor and mutravisarjan, dont know why, but if the same lines in the film were used in a David Dhawan film or Priyadarshan film, critics would surely call it a potty movie. But since, Aamir Khan is in there,the movie has to be good. Come on Hirani, make a better movie next time, we know you are capable, just don't take the audience for granted
