Popcorn
Refill:
A
frequent
trips
to
get
your
popcorn
tub
refilled
won't
do
much
harm.
Iconic
Moment:
The
scene
where
Nawazuddin
tries
to
impress
Nidhhi
with
his
dancing
skills.
Plot
The
year
is
1995.
We
see
Michael
(Ronit
Roy),
a
background
dancer
shaking
his
booty
to
Govinda's
'Goriya
churana
mera
jiya'
at
a
film's
shoot
in
Mumbai.
But
soon,
he
is
told
'age
isn't
doing
wonders
to
his
dancing
skills'
and
shown
the
door.
That
rainy
night,
a
drunk
and
dejected
Michael
chances
upon
an
abandoned
baby
near
a
garbage
bin
whom
he
decides
to
raise
as
his
own.
The
boy,
Munna
aka
Tiger
Shroff
grows
up
idolizing
Michael
Jackson
just
like
his
father.
Soon,
he
crosses
his
path
with
Delhi
ka
hoodlum
Maninder
Fauji
(Nawazuddin
Siddiqui)
who
hires
him
to
be
his
dancing
tutor.
Maninder
is
completely
besotted
with
Dolly
(Nidhhi
Agerwal),
a
club
dancer
and
wants
to
win
her
over
with
his
dance
moves.
Time
for
the
makers
to
throw
in some
bromance
followed
by
a love triangle,
daddy
track,
a
dance
competition
and
voila,
you
get
a
story
that's
as
old
as
the
dinosaurs!
Direction
This
is
Sabbir
Khan's
third
collaboration
with
Tiger
Shroff
after
Heropanti
and
Baaghi
but
sadly,
the
director
fails
to
present
Shroff
Jr.
in
a
new
way.
So,
there
you
have
Tiger
with
his
unbuttoned
shirt,
flaunting
his
chiseled
abs
for
most
of
the
screen
time,
killin'
it
on
the
dance
floor
and
beating
the
goons
to
pulp!
But,
what
next?
That's
where
Munna
Michael
goes
whimper!
The
only
difference
this
time
is
that, he
gets
to
mouth
a
different
dialogue
which
goes
like,
'Munna
jhagda
nahi
karta
...
Munna
sirf
pittha
hai'
The
film
suffers
from
flaws
as
large
as
the
potholes
on
the
Mumbai
roads.
The
biggest
of
them
is
the
time
frame
shown.
There
is
an
introductory
scene
where
we
see
a
young
Munna
dancing
with
several 'Ae
Dil
Hai
Mushkil'
billboards
placed
behind
him
before
he
miraculously
grows
up
to
be
Tiger
Shroff.
Wait,
there's
more
to
it.
If
that
wasn't
enough,
later
in
the
scond
half
of
the
film,
we see
Tiger
and
Nidhhi
happily
collecting
a cheque
that's
dated
21/07/2017.
Who
says
age portions
don't
exist?
Our
hero
dances
with
a
bullet
wound
on
his
thigh
and
mind
you,
his
pant
isn't
soiled
with
a
speck
of
blood
in
his
later
dancing
scenes!
Well,
you
will
be
treated
with
plenty
of
such
logic-defying
scenes
in
this
film!

Performances
Tiger
Shroff
is
a
dancing
machine
and
knows
how
to
break
the
bones
of
his
opponents
when
it
comes
to
action.
Period.
Nidhhi
Agerwal
is
underwhelming
in
her
role
and
needs
to
work upon
her
expressions
asap!
The
newbie
ends
up
being
just
a
glam
in
this
film.
More
than
Nawaz's
character, she
needs
to
take
dancing
lessons
from
Tiger
in
the
film.
Thankfully,
you
have
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui
who
tries
to
save
this
ship
from
sinking
with
his
impeccable
acting
chops
and
lovely
comic
timing!
Technical
Aspects
Hari
K.
Vedantam's
cinematography
is
rich
and
colorful.
Manan
Sagar's
editing
works
fine.
Music
Munna
Michael
has
lacklustre
songs
that
barely
register
on
your
lips
post
the
film.
Some
of
them
look
forced
in
the
narrative
and
only
add
minutes
to
the
run-time.
Verdict
Munna
Michael
is
miles
away
from
being
a
worthy
tribute
to
'King
Of
Pop'
Michael
Jackson.
There
is
a
scene
where
Tiger's
character
says,
'I
just
want
to
prove
that
Michael
lives
forever.'
Sadly,
Munna
Michael
ends
up
being
a
mere
wasted
attempt!
