There should be a genre of films called fan-pleasers, if there isn’t one already. Munna Michael is precisely that by design – a dance-actioner that must keep its focus firmly on showcasing the dancing prowess of its leading man, Tiger Shroff. His repertoire reeks of such well-designed fiestas, most of them directed by Sabbir Khan, who helms this one too.
In their third outing together, Khan is well-acquainted with the strengths and weaknesses of his protégé. And thus, here’s a script smartly weaved, with little plot and more frills. You will be sold at the good ol’ hand pummeling,
Shroff spicing up the desi maar dhaar with mixed martial arts. His moonwalking a la Michael Jackson, the man who plays the posthumous muse to this project, is top notch. For Shroff alone, the story sails through comfortably. Foster parented by an erstwhile choreographer, chawl boy Munna [Shroff] has got the moves.
His services are called upon by a Delhi thug Mahinder [Nawazuddin Siddiqui], who is all shades of lovable and yet, can’t lure the woman of his dreams. The ladylove, played by Nidhhi Agerwal, suffers from acute daddy issues, whose omnipresent brooding persona stays with her throughout the film, even though he never makes an appearance.
