Munnabhai MBBS still
Rajkumar Hirani's Munnabhai MBBS is not just a film; it's a revolution in Bollywood storytelling. With his unique approach to combining humour, heart, and social issues, Hirani crafted a film that became an instant classic. Munnabhai MBBS wasn't just about a medical student's quest to prove himself; it was about love, friendship, redemption, and finding joy in the simplest moments. It introduced us to Munnabhai's lovable, carefree philosophy of life, beautifully expressed through his interactions with the people around him. Over the past two decades, the film's quirky dialogues have lived on in popular culture, remaining as fresh and relevant as ever.

Rajkumar Hirani's Munnabhai MBBS remains a testament to the power of storytelling that blends humor, heart, and social consciousness. The film's dialogues continue to resonate with audiences, proving that great cinema is not just about entertainment, but also about leaving a lasting impact on the way we think and live. As we celebrate 21 years of this iconic film, it's clear that Munnabhai's world, with all its quirky charm and heartfelt wisdom, will continue to inspire for generations to come.
Sanjay Dutt took to his Instagram handle to celebrate the milestone last year. Sharing montages from the film, he wrote, "Two decades of laughter, emotions, and a whole lot of jadoo ki jhappi! Celebrating 20 years of Munna Bhai MBBS, a journey filled with unforgettable moments. Grateful for the love and support that made this film a timeless classic. Hoping that Munna Bhai 3 will be made soon!"
In 2006 the makers of the film came up with the sequel titled 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' bringing back Munna and circuit with a new adventure. While the makers had promised a third part to the franchise it was never made. Looking at Dutt's post, it seems that the hope for a third part is still alive.
