6/10
Govinda No.1

Warning: Spoilers
David Dhawan and Govinda made a great team in 1990s, after the success of SHOLA AUR SHABNAM,AANKHEN and RAJA BABU. This film was the first to be titled No.1, Followed by HERO NO.1 and many more. This film has shades of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's classic GOLMAAL(1979) Though only the fake double role part, but otherwise it has trademark DD characters and it succeeds in making you laugh. It does also have it's share of 90s nonsense, forced masala ingredients and song n dance, yet the camaraderie of Govinda-Kader Khan works big time, The film has a feeble plot but yet it's entertaining and makes you laugh most of the time

Direction is good Music is decent, the songs became famous especially Main to Raste, Husn Hai Suhana.etc

Govinda is hilarious and makes you laugh throughout, Karisma Kapoor is below average as in early days though her timing with Govinda is good Kader Khan is superb as Hoshiyarchand,His chemistry with Govinda is superb Sadashiv Amrapurkar as Shaadiram Garjode(see the name!) is also hilarious, Shakti Kapoor has a small role and is good,Mahesh Anand is as usual, Khulbushan Kharbanda is as usual,Harish and Kanchan are awkward rest are okay
