Plot

Michael (Ronit Roy) is a dancer inspired by Michael Jackson. One day Michael is fired from his job and disappointedly leaves the studio. On his way home, he finds a newly born baby crying on the side of the road. Michael adopts him and names him Munna (Tiger Shroff). Munna, just like Michael, grows up to be an extraordinary dancer and a diehard fan of Michael Jackson. Michael doesn't want Munna to become a dancer and instead insists him to do a proper job. Munna instead visits dance clubs with his gang and challenges their dancers, thereby earning money in the process. Michael gets ill and is admitted to a hospital. When Munna goes to see him, he once again asks him to drop his idea of dancing. Meanwhile the dance clubs in Mumbai have blacklisted Munna and his gang so Munna tries his luck at Delhi.

In one such club Munna clashes with a guy called Balli and beats his fellows. Balli happens to be the brother of Mahender (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a gangster. When Mahender comes to know about the fight his brother got into, he asks a police inspector to get him Munna who beat his brother. Before calling Munna before himself, Mahender watches a video of Munna dancing. Mahender gets impressed by Munna's dancing skills and asks Munna to teach him how to dance. During the dance sessions, Munna and Mahender become best friends. One day, some gangsters attacks Mahender and Munna saves his life. After that Mahender brings Munna to his hometown in Delhi and makes him his brother. Mahender tells Munna that he wants to be a good dancer because the girl he loves, Dolly (Nidhhi Agerwal) is a dancer in a club. Munna advises Mahender to give Dolly a gift.

Mahender instead of personaly offerring the gift, asks Munna to hand it (gift) over to her. Munna gives Dolly the gift and lies to her that he is a courier boy. Dolly and Munna becomes good friends. Munna than gives Dolly a letter of appointment at the Blue Star Hotel as a dancer. The Blue Star Hotel is owned by Mahender. Dolly accepts the offer. Mahender meets Dolly and ask her to be friends and gives her a jeep and a flat. When Dolly enters the flat, she finds Balli hiding in there. Balli tells Dolly that Mahender would keep her as a sex slave and nothing else. Dolly runs away from the house. When Mahender comes to know about the incident, he attempts to kill his brother Balli. Munna and other home mates stops Mahender. In this scenario, Munna comes to know that Mahender is married and that he was married against his will as his father forced him. After losing Dolly, Mahender gets depressed. Munna promises Mahender that he will get Dolly back.

Munna returns to Mumbai and coincidentaly finds Dolly who is here to participate in a dance show named Dancing Star. Munna mixes sleeping tablets in Dolly's drink. Just before completely going out conscious, Dolly tells Munna that she wants to win the show so that she will be able to face her father as she ran away from home to pursue her dancing career. Munna changes his mind and decides to help Dolly in winning the show rather than bringing her back to Mahender. Munna asks his friends to help Dolly by becoming part of his dance group. Munna had previously told Dolly that he cannot dance. One day, Dolly finds Munna dancing and training her dance group and finds that Munna had been lying to her.

Munna tells Dolly the truth. Dolly asks Munna to be her partner at the dance competition. Meanwhile Mahender comes to Mumbai in search of Dolly. Mahender acknowledges that Munna is betraying him. Mahender brings Munna's father Michael to Delhi and gives Munna 24 hours to bring Dolly to him or otherwise his father would be killed. Dolly and Munna go to Delhi and Dolly tells Mahender that she loves Munna and leaves his house. Munna, Micheal and Dolly leave for Mumbai. Balli finds them and tries to beat them up, but instead, Munna beats his people up, when Balli shoots Munna in the leg. Munna still goes and performs with Dolly, and they win. Mahinder, later, accepts Munna and Dolly's love and they stay brothers.

The film received mixed reviews from the critics. Meena Lyer of Times of India rated the film 2.5/5 calling its story, usual and predictable, saying, "You can almost record screen proceedings with your stopwatch because after every 15 minutes, there is a—song, fight, song, fight and some more blah."[11] Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times rated it 1.5/5 saying, "Now it's finally a film where everybody would look disinterested and jump at a chance to break into the song.[12] Shalini Langer of The Indian Express gave the film just half a star out of five saying, "Tiger Shroff as Munna Michael dance, Munna fights, Munna dance and fight together, this is what he is doing in the film.[13] Subhani Singh of India Today rated the film 1.5/5 saying, "The film's script has emerged from a basic one-liner: Tiger idolises Michael Jackson so let's give him every opportunity to dance like him."[14] Udita Jhunjhunwala of Firstpost gave the film 2/5 saying, " Put in enough of these two elements (Dancing and action) and who cares about logic, story, acting or originality.[15] Saibal Chaterjee of NDTV rated the film 1.5/5 and said, "As is obvious, Tiger Shroff's film has nothing original or novel on offer."[16] Kriti Tulsiani of News18 rated it 1/5 saying, "Munna Michael feels like an over-stretched version of an 80s film that rides high only on dance moves and action sequences."[17] Kennith Rosario of The Hindu said, "A clichéd endorsement for Tiger Shroff’s abs, fighting and dancing skills."[18] The film was rated 1.5/5 at Rediff.com and was called, "A wasted opportunity at best".[19] Zee News criticized the film by stating, "This film starts off with a promise and holds your interest till the interval. After that the narrative turns into a cliched Bollywood masala film that fails to impress."[20] Priyadarshini Patwa of MensXP.com gave the film 1.5/5 and said, "When Tiger Shroff is in a film, the directors forget the basics of filmmaking i.e. the script. Instead of working on the crux of the story, the directors decided to make a full-length feature film with lots of dance sequences and unreasonable fight scenes as the prime focus. And of course, one line of dialogue that Tiger uses throughout the film."[21] Mohar Basu of Mid Day gave the film 2/5 saying, "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."[22] Bollywood Hungama gave the film 2.5/5 and said, "The writing of the film is a major letdown. It seems that the scriptwriter (Vimmi Datta) didn’t have much to offer after a point and took the predictable, clichéd route."[23] Anupama Chopra of the Film Companion gave the film 1.5/5 and said, "Munnah Micheal is the stuff of pure comedy."[24] Davesh Sharma of Filmfare gave the film 2.5/5 and said, "What this movie lacks is self-belief and great music. If the whole point of the film was to make it a tribute to Michael Jackson then MJ’s original tunes should have been used." [25] Writing for Reuters, Shilpa Jamkhandikar said, "The story is straightforward and merely a device for Shroff to display his washboard abs and ample dancing skills.",[26] However Rajat Srivastav from Bharatmovies.com classifies it into masala category and termed it as a ticket-worth entertainer giving it 3.5 stars with reasons.
