Later on, though, the carefree Munna also develops a friendly relationship with Dr. Suman, another faculty member of the institute, who turns out to be Asthana's daughter. However, Munna is unaware that Suman and his childhood friend "Chinki" are one and the same and Suman and Asthana hilariously exploit the ignorance. As time progresses, Munna's antics make him popular with his students: he arranges Circuit to bring an extra dead body to the institute for dissection purposes (a concept which fails as Circuit kidnaps a Chinese tourist and Munna himself is unable to dissect the dead body); he meets Karan, the suicidal patient he had saved earlier, and cheers him up with a song; he effusively express gratitude to an old, hitherto underappreciated cleaner at the institute, cheering him up significantly; and he argues with a doctor for treating Anand Banerjee ([[Yatin Karyekar]]), a patient who has been brain-dead for the past 12 years, like a dead body, and takes Anand into his own personal care, attempting to treat him in his own empathetic and compassionate style. Although these antics slowly endear Suman to Munna, her father considers Munna a troublemaker and seeks to rusticate him. He sets up the most difficult exam in the history of the institute to prove Munna unqualified and get rid of him, which leads Munna to send Circuit to pay a visit to Rustom's father once again. | Later on, though, the carefree Munna also develops a friendly relationship with Dr. Suman, another faculty member of the institute, who turns out to be Asthana's daughter.

Although he has no medical skills, Munna transforms those around him with his "Jadoo Ki Jhappi" ("Magical Hug"), a method of comfort taught to Munna by his mother, and the compassion he shows towards those in need. Despite the institute's emphasis on mechanical, cartesian, impersonal and often bureaucratic relationships between doctors and patients, Munna constantly seeks to impose a more empathetic and almost holistic regimen around himself. He enforces the regime of "common-sense treatment" and uses old-fashioned kindness and love to "cure" many patients at the hospital, encouraging the patients to make changes in their lives themselves, so that they need no medicines or surgery to live. Asthana, who perceives all this as symptoms of chaos, is unable to prevent it from expanding and gaining ground at his institute. He begins laughing uncontrollably in a way that implies him to have gone extremely insane in an attempt to practice "laughter therapy", which serves more to convey his anger than to diffuse it. Meanwhile, Munna decides to meet with "Chinki" at a nightclub when Suman and Asthana send Suman's close friend, Shalini ([[Neha Dubey]]), to act as an attractive, seductive but foul-mannered "Chinki" in front of Munna and Circuit. | Although he has no medical skills, Munna transforms those around him with his "Jadoo Ki Jhappi" ("Magical Hug"), a method of comfort taught to Munna by his mother, and the compassion he shows towards those in need.

Their plan works, and Munna is bluffed into believing that "Chinki" is not his type anymore, and thus decides to abandon his personal feud against "Chinki" and Asthana, but much to Asthana's chagrin, he announces that he has fallen in love with Suman. | ||
Later, Munna's meets one of Suman's patients, Zaheer Ali ([[Jimmy Sheirgill]]), a depressed young man, who has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. Munna arranges Circuit to bring a stripper inside the patient ward to entertain Zaheer, cheering him up significantly. At the same time, Rustom's dying father is also admitted to the institute, where even his son is unable to save him, but Munna and Circuit are able to bring life back into him with the help of carrom, which earns Rustom's respect to Munna and leads Zaheer to consider Munna an almost "divine" man. Meanwhile, Asthana tries to rusticate Munna several times but is often thwarted by Munna's wit or the affection with which the others at the institute, including, to some extent, Suman herself, regard Munna, having gained superior self-esteem by his methods. When Asthana learns about the stripper episode, he sees this as a potential reason to rusticate Munna on disciplinary grounds, but is unable to do so as Munna manages to stay on by throwing himself over a ledge and severely injuring himself, thereby confining himself to the institute's hospital. However, when Munna does recover, the hospital staff, patients and students stand in Asthana's way and refuse to let Munna leave, prompting Asthana to challenge Munna to take a test in front of him and the entire institute the next day to keep his enrollment, and everyone accepts the challenge. | Later, Munna's meets one of Suman's patients, Zaheer Ali ([[Jimmy Sheirgill]]), a depressed young man, who has been diagnosed with stomach cancer.
