How to watch the Munna Bhai movies in order

Rajkumar Hirani's Munna Bhai films mix big laughs with big hearts, following a lovable Mumbai gangster and his loyal sidekick Circuit. Here is the order to watch one of Bollywood's most cherished comedy series.
Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. introduced audiences to Murli Prasad Sharma, better known as Munna Bhai, played by Sanjay Dutt, and his devoted partner Circuit, played by Arshad Warsi. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the 2003 hit saw Munna enroll in medical school to impress his father. The 2006 follow-up, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, brought Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy to a new generation with the idea of 'Gandhigiri.'
๐ Release Order
With two films, release order is quick and easy to follow.
- Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003)
- Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006)
Interestingly, the second film is not a direct continuation. It reuses Munna and Circuit in a brand-new story with different supporting characters, so each movie stands on its own.
๐ Story Chronology
Because the films are separate adventures for the same duo, there is no strict chronology. Most fans treat them in release order.
- Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003)
- Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch in release order. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. establishes the characters, their slang, and the irresistible chemistry between Munna and Circuit, which makes Lage Raho Munna Bhai even funnier and more moving. Both films blend comedy with social messages about compassion and non-violence, and both remain highly rewatchable. A third film has been discussed for years, so we will update this guide if it ever arrives. Fans of Bollywood comedy should check out Hera Pheri and Golmaal next.
