Spoilers ahead

Murli Prasad Sharma, better known as “Munna Bhai”, is a Mumbai gangster who runs an extortion racket. His hideout doubles as a makeshift hospital, a clever ruse to fool his visiting parents, Shri Hari Prasad Sharma and Parvati Devi Sharma, who believe he is a real doctor.

During one annual visit, Hari reconnects with an old acquaintance, Dr. Jagdish Chandra Asthana, the dean of a local medical college who had helped found their village’s first medical centre. Hari suggests marrying his daughter to Munna’s childhood friend, Dr. Suman Asthana “Chinki” — a plan Munna both dreads and secretly relishes, preferring a real vocation.
