Lage Raho Munna Bhai
A reformed Mumbai goon woos a spirited radio host by posing as a Gandhi‑quoting scholar, but must keep his charade alive while battling a ruthless developer threatening her beloved care home.
“They're back... and they're not alone!”
Synopsis
Munna, a lovable goon, develops feelings for Jahnvi, a morning radio host who also manages an elderly care home that an unscrupulous builder is trying to acquire. To catch Jahnvi's attention, Munna cheats his way to victory in a Mahatma Gandhi-themed radio quiz. When Jahnvi shows interest in him, Munna and his best friend Circuit try to maintain the illusion.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 18× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
