Great movie! Highly underrated.

[luigi700 · 8/10 · 29 March 2016]

When I watched this movie for the first time I instantly took a liking to it. Not only was the story excellent, the songs were also great. I really liked that in this movie Govinda has acted a serious role in this film, he shows off his versatility here and proves that he not only makes good comedy films but dramatic great ones as well. All the supporting cast have done justice to their roles, and Govinda's co-star Shilpa Shetty has done a good job in her role as well. The whole movie takes you on a series of unexpected twists and turns. This is a real great film to watch for all the fans of Bollywood movies and Govinda. I don't understand how this film got this score, it deserves a higher one. All in all I give this movie an 8/10.

Suspense/Comedy that is well worth watching!

Aman (Govinda) is mistaken for Rohit, the deceased fiance of Seema (Shilpa Shetty). Seema has become mentally unsound from grief, and her father (Kader Khan) persuades Aman to pretend to be Rohit to help Seema recover. Aman falls in love with Seema, but after professing his love to her, is arrested for the murder of his uncle. Aman, then sets out to discover the true facts about his uncle's death.

Oh-so-cute Govinda plays both the serious and comedic roles well in this film. He and Shetty have good chemistry, and Shetty is convincing in her part. The choreography is not extensive, Govinda not being the best dancer, but at times was quite cute. The music, while obviously 1990s, ranges from average to above. The plot is quite good, and delivers two clever surprises. Overall, it's a suspense/comedy that is well-worth watching.
