We bet you would run to speak to your BFF after watching the tale of Munna and Circuit!

2. Sanjay Dutt as Munna Bhai is the goon with a heart of gold

To play the character that is a goon with a heart of gold, Sanjay was Rajkumar Hirani’s pick and Dutt managed to nail every bit of it. From playing the shy Munna in front of his childhood crush Chinky to being the trustworthy friend to dying Jimmy Shergill aka Zaheer, Munna proves that in every bad person there is something redeemable and good. One just needs to find it. Sanjay Dutt surely won over fans with his sincere and honest act as Munna and fans can’t wait to see the third part of the film!

The love-hate relationship that Munna shares with Dean Ashtana is one of the major takeaways of Munna Bhai MBBS. After Munna’s truth about being a goon comes out in front of his father due to Asthana, he vows to become a doctor from his college and also marry his daughter Chinki. From troubling Asthana to the point of him having a laughter attack to refusing to leave the college after being suspended, Munna does everything to irk the dean and take his revenge. But, this process, the audience gets a lot of laughs in return along with another reason to watch the film. 

4. Jadoo Ki Jhappi is all we need to ward off troubles

Munna’s mom tells him in the film that Jadoo ki Jhappi can cure almost anything and he believes in that. Even when he enters the medical college, we often see Munna change people’s moods with just a warm and friendly hug.
