Govinda rocks the house !!, 21 February 2006
6/10
Author: Hurdy_Gurdy_Man from Pune , India

The movie is amazing and Govinda proves that he is ENTERTAINER NO.1 and that the Govinda - David Dhawan combo rocks .

Rajesh (Govinda) has a very strict father named Dhanraj Malhotra (Kadar Khan) , so he flees to Europe . Meena (Karishma Kapoor) is sent to Europe for studies by her grandfather Dinanath (Paresh Rawal) . They meet , fireworks fly , tiffs ensue but finally cupid strikes . They decide to get married . Meanwhile , Dhanraj and Rajesh patch up .

But as fate would have it , Dhanraj and Dinanath quarrel accidentally without knowing each other's true identity . As a result the proposed relationship breaks . Now Rajesh enters Meena's house as a servant and begins to impress her family to win her over .

Though the second half is heavily inspired by BAWARCHI (1972) , the final outcome does not disappoint . Govinda is the tour-de-force of the movie and rest of the cast lend him able support . Cinematography of European locales is eye-catching . Catchy songs by Anand-Milind like "Saaton Janam" , "Sona Kitna Sona Hai" , "Main Toh Paidal Se Jaa Raha Tha" and the witty dialogues by Rumi Jaffery are the icing on the cake .
