If we put our bias of badly wanting to see Munzar together aside for a second and try to weigh good and bad aspects of Munna, Faris and Rehmati who are rivals for getting Zarnab, that's i think what we get:
Faris' resume
Already engaged to Zarnab. His strongest point. After watching this episode, there should be no doubt he really loves Zarnab. He has newly started to consume illegitimate money. Looks it's his first attempt. Reluctantly meets and friends with Mifa for her favors towards him.
Munna's resume
Fallen in love with Zarnab more intense than Faris and Rehmati. Obviously his money comes from haram sources though he's selective about it avoiding low level like Batha, murders etc. He's claiming a girl before Rehmati and his friends who's currently engaged. His weakest point if we want to see him as hero of the story. Plus Zarnab hasn't shown any such thing for Munna that he's calling an actively engaged committed in a relationship girl Rehmati's bhabi.
Rehmati's resume
Apparently in love with Zarnab to a level he can give his life. His money obviously comes from haram sources. He's claiming and already decently proposed a girl who he knows is already engaged while there's no response from Zarnab. He also isn't involved in Bata but can murder for his interests. So probably the baddest on the roster.
Coming this far i am a bit confused to see male protagonist of the story.
And then we have Munna bhai.While Faris, a good guy gone bad, represents one side, Munna stands out as someone who wants to improve himself. Personally, I admire people who strive for positive change, recognizing their mistakes and aiming to do better—and that's Munna.
Just as Faris may have reasons for his actions, Munna probably has his own background and circumstances. Growing up in poverty, surrounded by ghundas, with an opportunity to earn money without needing an education—what other choices did he have than becoming a bhain himself? Like everyone else, he needs a roof over his head and food in his stomach. If everyone around him is doing it and he's told it's not wrong, why would he consider it illegal or immoral to be a bhai? The realization that they are the bad guys hits him in episode 5 or 6. In episode 3(I think), the way Rehmati explained to Munna that what they were doing was just a job, not illegal or immoral, shows how Rehmati likely made Munna believe that everything they do is normal.
What sets Munna apart from Faris and Rehmati is that he genuinely wants to do good. He could easily abuse his power, but he doesn’t. He could easily threaten Zarnab, but he hasn’t. While these may seem like minimal expectations, but you don't have high expectations from ghudas. Munna has exceeded expectations by being better than that. In every interaction, he has shown Zarnab that he's not as bad as she might expect. He even declared that he no longer wants to be a thug, and Zarnab's gut feeling tells her he's sincere. Through their meetings and conversations, she sees him as a good man willing to change, which sets him apart from the other men.
Shouldn’t people who want to change be given a chance, especially when their sincerity is evident? If you could, wouldn’t you help someone improve themselves? Isn’t it impressive that a man making a lot of money is willing to walk away from it because he wants to lead an honest life?
Through Zarnab's dialogues, it's clear that she desires someone who would sacrifice everything to live an honest life—and that's what she will get with Munna.
