Patch Adams ...The best movie i have ever seen. The way Adams develops a relationship with a fellow student and patients. In India, we have our indian version of this movie "Munna Bhai, MBBS" in which a local gangster sets out to fulfill his father's dream of becoming a doctor. Munna Bhai (Sanjay Dutt) , a bhai or a Tapori (a leader in the Mumbai underworld who speaks in Bambaiya Hindi) and his sidekick (who provides the comic relief of the series), Circuit (Arshad Warsi). Munna is generally a happy man; except during his beloved parents' annual visits to Mumbai. They wanted him to be a doctor and he doesn't want to disappoint them ... so, whenever his father (Sunil Dutt) and mother (Rohini Hattangadi) visit, he turns his gangster pad into the faux Sri Hari Prasad Sharma Charitable Hospital and pretends to be a medical doctor. One year, however, Munna's plan goes awry. His father meets an old acquaintance, Dr. Asthana (Boman Irani) and the two older men decide to marry Munna to Dr. Asthana's daughter, Dr. Suman (Gracy Singh). It is at this point that the truth about Munna is revealed and Munna's parents are heartbroken. Munna Bhai decides that the only way to redeem himself is to become a doctor. So he decides to go to school in order to obtain an M.B.B.S. degree (this is the undergraduate medical degree in India, which stands for "Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery"). With the help of his friend Circuit and others, "gains admission" to the Imperial Institute of Medical Sciences, where he runs head-on into Dr. Asthana, who just happens to be the dean of the medical school. While Munna Bhai's skills as a medical doctor are questionable, he transforms those around him with the "Magic Hug" and the compassion he shows towards those in need.
