Due to its popularity, Malaika (and the song itself) was frequently compared to actress [[Katrina Kaif]] and her item number "[[Sheila Ki Jawani]]" from the 2010 movie ''[[Tees Maar Khan (2010 film)|Tees Maar Khan]]''.

==Influence==
The track is said to be inspired by an old [[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]] [[folk song]] "Launda Badnaam Hua Naseeban Tere Liye". Director Abhinav Kashyap accepted using the folk song saying that he, being from [[Uttar Pradesh]], was familiar with the song since childhood so he suggested the very song to be improvised and rephrased to fit the film's requirement.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Folk-inspiration-for-Munni-Badnaam/articleshow/6564833.cms?referral=PM |title=Folk inspiration for Munni Badnaam |last=Kamra |first=Diksha |date=16 September 2010 |work=The Times of India |access-date=16 September 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141210081602/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Folk-inspiration-for-Munni-Badnaam/articleshow/6564833.cms?referral=PM |archive-date=10 December 2014}}</ref> It was alleged that it was inspired from the Pakistani song "Ladka Badnaam Hua" from the film ''Mr. Charlie'' (1992).<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-interviews/Dabangg-Shame-Shame/articleshow/6722958.cms?referral=PM |title=Dabangg: Shame!

==Reception==
The reception by the public and critics was generally positive. Devesh Sharma of [[Filmfare]] noted the song's raunchy nature and praised it for its tempo, at the same time criticizing its "nonsensical" lyrics.<ref>{{cite news|last=Sharma|first=Devesh|date=21 August 2010|title=Dabangg|newspaper=Filmfare|url=http://www.filmfare.com/articles/dabangg-1322.html|accessdate=12 January 2012}}</ref> Atta Khan of Planet Bollywood said "... expect it to explode with Mallaika's entrance on the big screen and chances are, after watching that you may enjoy it..."<ref>{{cite web |last=Khan |first=Atta|title=Review |url=http://planetbollywood.com/displayReview.php?id=m080610115118|publisher=Planet Bollywood|accessdate=12 January 2012}}</ref>

"Munni Badnaam Hui" was referred to in many political situations, to varying effects. In October 2010, the [[Chief Minister of Gujarat]] [[Narendra Modi]] played a pun on the song to criticize his opposition party, the [[Indian National Congress]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Joshi|first=Harish|title=Cong paid heavy price for using CBI, says Modi|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-10-18/surat/28218324_1_tourism-campaign-bharuch-muslims |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708035814/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-10-18/surat/28218324_1_tourism-campaign-bharuch-muslims |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 July 2012 |accessdate=12 January 2012|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=18 October 2011}}</ref> It was one of many other popular terms used to criticize the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]] and its organization.<ref name=Sify>{{cite news|title=Jokes in the time of a floundering Games|url=http://www.sify.com/sports/jokes-in-the-time-of-a-floundering-games-news-others-kjzmuccjjie.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101001045923/http://sify.com/sports/jokes-in-the-time-of-a-floundering-games-news-others-kjzmuccjjie.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 October 2010 |accessdate=12 January 2012|newspaper=Sify Sports|date=25 September 2010}}</ref>

===Munni vs. Sheila===
After the song "[[Sheila Ki Jawani]]" featuring [[Katrina Kaif]] was released, parallels were drawn between Katrina and Malaika, as well as between the item numbers, in what was popularly known as the "Munni vs Sheila" debate.<ref name=Sify/><ref>{{cite news|last=Nagpaul-D'Souza|first=Dipti|title=Munni vs Sheila: The way of the 'Item Bomb'|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/munni-vs-sheila-the-way-of-the-item-bomb/729468/1|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=Indian Express|date=26 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Wangoo|first=Anupama|title=Sheila steals Munni's thunder |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-26/chandigarh/28217169_1_munni-badnaam-hui-malaika-arora-jawani|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701180033/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-26/chandigarh/28217169_1_munni-badnaam-hui-malaika-arora-jawani|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 July 2012|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=26 December 2011}}</ref> Subsequently, newspapers reported increased rivalry between the two actors, which was supposedly highlighted by various incidents.

==Controversies==

===Lawsuit by Emami===
The popular product by [[Emami]], a pain relieving balm called Zandu Balm is referred to at various times in the song. Emami filed a lawsuit against [[Arbaaz Khan]], the producer of the movie for trademark misuse, but subsequently reached an out of court settlement with the producer. Emami then utilized the popularity of the song to advertise the Zandu Balm brand by signing up Malaika to do commercials.<ref>{{cite news|last=Himatsingka|first=Anuradha|title=New Zandu Balm ad to encash popularity of Dabangg's song Munni badnaam|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2010-09-24/news/27590436_1_dabangg-song-mohan-goenka-emami|accessdate=12 January 2012|newspaper=The Economic Times|date=24 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Emami signs up Malaika 'Munni' Arora to endorse Zandu Balm|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2010-12-14/news/27587800_1_zandu-balm-arbaaz-khan-productions-emami-director-mohan-goenka|accessdate=12 January 2012|newspaper=The Economic Times|date=14 December 2010}}</ref>

===Public Interest Litigations seeking ban===

In December 2010, a [[Public Interest Litigation]] (PIL) was filed in the [[Lucknow]] bench of the [[Allahabad High Court]], with the petitioner asking for a ban of the song, claiming it was "indecent" and "immoral".<ref>{{cite news|title=PIL demands ban on Munni Badnaam Hui and Sheila Ki Jawani|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/123107/pil-demands-ban-munni-badnaam.html|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=Deccan Herald|date=23 December 2010}}</ref> Another person also filed a lawsuit in a Sessions court in [[Mumbai]] objecting to the use of the word "[[Hindustan]]" in the lyrics of the song. The film got a [[Central Board of Film Certification#Current certificates|U/A]] rating from the [[Censor board of India]] and was released without any cuts in the song, but the word "Hindustan" in the song was changed to "Policeistan" to avoid any further controversy.<ref>{{cite news|last=Bhattacharya|first=Roshmila|title=‘There was nothing derogatory in Munni...’|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Interviews/There-was-nothing-derogatory-in-Munni/Article1-598426.aspx|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130125065704/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Entertainment/Interviews/There-was-nothing-derogatory-in-Munni/Article1-598426.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-date=25 January 2013|accessdate=12 January 2012|newspaper=Hindustan Times|date=10 September 2010}}</ref>
