Movie Review: Munna Michael
Movie Review “Munna Michael”
Rating: 2/5
Director: Sabbir Khan
Cast: Tiger Shroff, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Nidhhi Agerwal
The protagonist, Munna does not have a strong purpose. He is just too casual in his approach towards everything. Nawazuddin’s character is interesting, a gangster who tries to impress his love by learning to dance. However, the climax ruins the fun.
How can a man dance with a bullet wound in his thigh? Isn’t it a bit too much? But then in Bollywood films, you probably can do everything. The film is just boring, barring Tiger’s dance sequences. It is particularly difficult to sit through the second half. The story takes a new twist in the second half but poor execution spoils it. The action sequences are good but they seem to be deliberately included in the film just to make it watchable. Too many action sequences also won’t be able to save this film.

Tiger’s dialogue, Munna Jhagra nahi karta, Munna sirft pitta hai, followed by some well-choreographed action sequences are repeated too many times in the film. Some serious scenes become unintentionally hilarious. The songs are nice, especially the numbers Main Hoon, Swag and Beat it Bijuriya.
Tiger Shroff as Munna Michael: Tiger Shroff is an excellent dancer and the makers of the film have utilized his potential to the fullest. His MJ style dance is just too cool! With a weak script and limited acting capability, Tiger shines only through his dance.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Mahinder Fauji is the main attraction of the film. A 42-year-old gangester who doesn’t think twice before shooting a person, loses his heart to a young and talented bar dancer and tries to impress her by learning to dance. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is an actor who is not known for his dancing skills but the way he overcomes his weakness and grasps the art of dancing is truly inspiring and commendable! With his excellent comic-timing and acting skills, Nawaz once again shows what he is capable of. With each of his films, I rediscover this actor and respect him even more.
Debutante Nidhhi Agerwal as Dolly is a good dancer and matches steps nicely with Tiger. However, she needs to brush up her acting skills and get rid of her tendency to overact.
The trailer looked promising with some expectations if not a lot. But the film turned out to be a disappointment.
Even Tiger’s dance and Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s brilliant performance will not be able to save this film.
