Before Rajkumar Hirani became the industry’s gold standard for merging social messages with mainstream entertainment (think 3 Idiots or PK ), he debuted with a simple, madcap story about a gangster who wants to become a doctor. On paper, Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. sounds like a farce: a comedy about cheating in medical exams. In execution, however, it became the defining film that revitalized the "family entertainer" genre in the early 2000s. It is a film that prescribes "Jadoo Ki Jhappi" (magical hugs) as a cure for cynicism.
Example : “Aaj kisi ko bina matlab ki jhappi maaro — jaise Munna ne sick patient ko di thi.” Index Munna Bhai Mbbs
