Plot
This section requires expansion. (July 2015) |
Unfortunately, Shahida gets lost in India with no way to head back over the border to her home, and boards a freight train, reaching Kurukshetra, India. In Kurukshetra, a Brahmin devout Shri Hanuman Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, also known as Bajrangi (Salman Khan), is dancing merrily with other worshippers. Shahida spots and follows Bajrangi, and gets associated with him under strange circumstances. He assumes she's Hindu and separated from her parents. He buys her a Bajrang Bali pendant to protect her from harm.
On his way to Delhi, Bajrangi quizzes the little girl, and calls her Munni to find out which city she's from, but she doesn't respond to any Indian town names. While on the bus, Bajrangi narrates the story of how he met his wife-to-be,Rasika.(Kareena Kapoor) Bajrangi has promised to Rasika's father Dayanand (Sharat Saxena) that he will collect enough money for a house for Rasika and him to prove himself as a worthy groom. Bajrangi convinces Rasika to let Munni stay with them until they can find her parents. After a time, Bajrangi finally finds out that Munni is Pakistani and Muslim when she finds her eating meat at a neighbour's house. Bajrangi attempts to send Munni home, but realizes that she cannot go without a passport. He strikes a deal with the travel agent and uses the money he has been saving for the house to pay the agent. However Bajrangi is devastated when he finds that the travel agent has taken Munni to a brothel and takes Munni back with him, resolving to get the young girl to her home on his own.

Allegations of copyrights infringement
The movie includes a famous Traditional qawwali Bhardo Jholi Meri Ya Muhammad sung by Sabri Brothers from Pakistan. The qawwali was revamped with the voice of Adnan Sami Khan for the Salman Khan-starrer and went viral soon after its release. However, it received mixed reviews, with many finding it bland owing to the incompatibility of Adnan’s sweet vocal texture for something as raw as a qawaali[citation needed]. Pakistan’s biggest record label EMI Pakistan and Amjad Sabri qawwal, heir to the famous Sabri brothers, have called for legal action against the producers of the film and the qawwali in separate instances.[30]“Revamping the qawwali without my permission or consent is simply unethical and inappropriate”, Amjad Sabri told Roznama Express. “This is not an ordinary Kalaam; it’s the property of my family and will continue to be so for the coming seven generations. This is an asset of my father Ghulam Farid Sabri and my uncle Maqbool Ahmed Sabri.”[31]
