Govinda Naam Mera

Started watching after some positive words from top reviewers but still I had zero expectation. It was a complete surprise from bollywood. It is not that we have not seen such movie but yes it had everything that keeps you hooked till the climax of the film. After first half film takes different turn. Those twists were very interesting and unpredictable but yes at some points you could predict. Vickey Kaushal done super job and pulled his best again. Rest actors played their characters very well. I would say jokes and humour could be added more. A perfect watch for those who love comdey, suspense and plot twist movie.

When creators of this content gradually killed the buzz of this movie, left alone in the abyss of disdain for gaining nothing. When reviews were bombing like the frequent claps of joyful child.

I just sat in this same scale of perishing cold night today, just to earn my precious yawn for my sleep and stop watching in between somewhere and put myself in the much needed relief. And hopefully forget about the bitter memory of this very junk like a regular drunk. As this was the case for the major releases of Bollywood in OTT platform for quite sometime.

But Alas!.. I was gradually engaging, gags of laughs coming out of no where. I can predict the story but I want to watch how it unfolds through the great performance of every performer. The screen tightly gripped me as I was ready to forfeit.

Renuka Shahane..What a performance yaar. I watched Kiara no better work than this. Vicky was as good as always.

This movie was no where near a perfect comedy, nor thriller, nor action. But it was a perfect Bollywood movie that I grown up on.

Or maybe I lost hope and found a fake crystal thinking its a diamond.. But thanks for the trick, it worked on me out of no where.

*Govinda Naam Mera* is a quirky blend of comedy, drama, and suspense that aims to entertain with its over-the-top characters and unpredictable plot. The film follows the life of Govinda Waghmare (Vicky Kaushal), a struggling background dancer caught in a love triangle with his dominating wife, Gauri (Bhumi Pednekar), and his glamorous girlfriend, Suku (Kiara Advani).

What Works:-

*Vicky Kaushal's Performance: Kaushal shines as the timid and hapless Govinda. His comic timing and ability to switch between drama and comedy are commendable.

*Unexpected Twists: The film keeps you guessing with its constant plot twists, making it an engaging watch.

*Energetic Pace: The fast-paced narrative prevents boredom and keeps the audience entertained.

What Doesn't Work:-

*Over-the-Top Comedy: While the film aims for humor, some of the comedic elements are overdone and can be cringe-worthy.

*Thin Characterization: The characters, especially the female leads, are somewhat stereotypical and lack depth.

*Predictable Climax: Despite the initial twists, the film's climax is somewhat predictable.

*Govinda Naam Mera* is a one-time watch for those who enjoy mindless entertainment with a side of suspense. While the film has its flaws, it's a decent attempt at a quirky comedy with some unexpected moments.

*** Govinda Naam Mera Hindi Movie Review***

Directed by Shanshank Khaitan starring Vicky Kaushal Bhumi Pednekar Kiara Advani in lead role...

Premiered on Disney+ Hotstar platform on 16th December 2022

A Story with Predictability....3/5 ⭐

Plot of the Movie

Vicky playing the titular role is going through various issues of abusive wife, step brother torture, career issue. Then a murder happens and that turns Govinda's life.

Analysis...

1) Vicky Kaushal from his serious portray roles in Uri , Raazi , here we could see a guy in a fun mode. The local mumbai dialect delivery was quite interesting

2) Kiara Advani had given a notable performance.

3) Bhumi' s performance doesn't offer anything new. Moreover, her screen presence was also less.

4) When movie reaches to its last 30 minutes, predictability triggers & then just wanted to watch to get the answer of "HOW"??

5) Govinda Naam Mera offers laughter from Renuka Shahane ( govinda's mother) , Amey Wagh ( govinda's friend).

Decision to release on a streaming platform was good.

Govinda naam mera is a surprise package. Watched it with least expectation but it went on to become a great entertainer. Had fun watching a movie after so long. Shashank Khaitan's crisp & tight screenplay was tremendously engaging, though his cameo wasn't. The story is a winner with all its twists and turns. But the biggest takeaway from the movie was Vicky Kaushal, such an effortless actor with an incredible comic timing, the guy is a sheer entertainer. He should definitely try this genre more. Thank God Varun Dhawan was not selected for this role. Special mentions Amey Wagh, Bhumi Pednekar, Daya & Tripti. Kiara Advani's dialogue delivery was a bit eerie. Rest it's a Great watch altogether!
