It’s an unforgetta­bly bad dance saga

MUNNA MICHAEL Direction: Sabbir Khan Actors: Tiger Shroff, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Nidhhi Agerwal

- ROHIT VATS

Re member‘ Le na hai, le na hai’? That hit song from the ’90s was the last time we saw Ron it Roy dance. He shakes a leg again in Munna Michael.

His character believes that Michael Jackson lives forever, but he gets thrown out of his dancing troupe, loses faith in dance as a profession, and takes to drink (because, what else is there, right?). Then he finds an abandoned baby ina dust bin and takes him home. Don’t ask why. These things just happen. That’s how Bollywood works.

The found ling grows up to bea super dancer named Munna (Tiger Shroff), because what else would he be. He decides to pursue his ambitions in Delhi, where he begins teaching dance to Mahinder Fauji (Nawazudd in Sid diqui ), al and shark who secretly loves to boogie. All is going well until Dolly (Nidhhi Agerwal) arrives on the scene. She is hired by Fauji to dance in one of his hotels.

By this point in the narrative, no matter what happens, it is met with a song.

At some point, an assistant must have reminded director Sabbir Khanthat itis, infact, 2017 because suddenly the ’80s try to morph into the present via a dance reality show. Also, what better way to guarantee that Tiger gets all the screen time he wants?

Nawazuddin, meanwhile, is handed one of the most bizarre roles of his career.

He clearly knows how it’s all going to look in the end, but tries not to seem completely clueless.
