Plot Summary:

The story revolves around Munna Bhai, a good-hearted but uneducated and somewhat dishonest man who runs a local goon gang in Mumbai. Despite his criminal activities, Munna is known for his compassion and generosity towards the people in his neighborhood. However, his parents believe he is a successful doctor, and he maintains this facade to make them proud.Munna's life takes a turn when his parents decide to visit him and insist on meeting his prospective wife. To cover up his lie, Munna decides to pretend to be a medical student. He enrolls in a medical college by bribing the dean, Dr. Parimal Tripathi (played by Boman Irani).

While at the college, Munna Bhai's interactions with the medical students, faculty, and patients lead to several humorous situations. He becomes particularly close to a terminally ill cancer patient named Zaheer (played by Jimmy Shergill). Munna's compassion for Zaheer and his pragmatic approach to handling patients start to win the hearts of everyone around him.

As Munna's charade continues, the college staff and students begin to uncover the truth. Dr. Asthana (played by Suresh Oberoi), a stern and rule-abiding dean, becomes suspicious of Munna's background and starts investigating.

The film takes a poignant turn when Zaheer's health deteriorates, and Munna's genuine care for him becomes evident. The climax of the film involves a medical exam where Munna's knowledge, despite his lack of formal education, is put to the test. The movie addresses issues like empathy, compassion, and the flaws in the medical education system.

"Munna Bhai M.B.B.S." received widespread acclaim for its unique storyline, powerful performances, and the social messages embedded in the narrative. The film's success led to a sequel, "Lage Raho Munna Bhai," which continued Munna's journey, incorporating elements of Gandhian philosophy.
