Munna Bhai MBBS: A Parody of the Present Medical Practice

Ashaq Hussain Parray, M.A., M.Phil., NET

Munna Bhai MBBS

Munna Bhai MBBS has been a block buster movie, for it provides abundant comic relief and a critique of rules and conventions of the “superior” culture. The movie defies Bollywood’s generally followed conventions of plot and characters and climax, etc., and has a simple interesting and humanistic plot. The hero, who is considered to be inhuman as per worldly standards, turns out to be an epitome of humanity. Though a gangster, a failure as per civilized conventions, yet he wins the sympathy of almost everyone.

The Plot of Munna Bhai MBBS

The plot of Munna Bhai MBBS has, at its center, Munna - Murli Prasad Sharma (played by Sanjay Dutt), the son of simple village parents, who comes to the city to become something worthwhile in life. Unable to cope up with the atmosphere of the city, he turns into a 'bhai'. Circuit (played by Arshad Varsi) becomes his aide. When Munna's parents come to the city to see their son, he employs a make-shift hospital to convince his parents that he is a doctor.
