Deewana Mastana

Govinda. One of the most prolific, talented & stylish actors of his time. Give this actor any role, and he'll still pull it off with ease. Having seen most of this iconic actors films, I can very confidently say, that, Govinda is boon to Cinema.

'Deewana Mastana' is a romantic-comedy about two guys who fall in love with the same girl. Thus, follows a series of comedic moments, that lead to a long-drawn culmination.

As a film, 'Deewana Mastana', at best, can pass off as a time-pass entertainer. To be really honest, it's mainly Govinda's fantastic performance that works the most & he is without a doubt, the biggest strength of the film. Sure, there are moments that truly bring the house down, but, in the second-hour, the film drags itself a bit too much & loses pace.

The Writing Material is entertaining in the first-hour, but slips quite a bit in the second-hour. David Dhawan's Direction is good. Cinematography & Editing are passable. Songs are hummable.

Performance-Wise: Govinda, Govinda, Govinda. He delivers a fantastic performance, and owns the film. Anil Kapoor is alright. Juhi Chawla does well. Anupam Kher is top-notch. Johnny Lever is genuinely funny. Shakti Kapoor is fair, while Satish Kaushik leaves a mark. Salman makes a cameo in the climax.

On the whole, Watch it for Govinda.

Deewana Mastana review :

When David Dhawan's Aankhen (1993) had turned an all time blockbuster, veteran director Manmohan Desai had famously remarked that it was "his style" of filmmaking. Desai's son Ketan then collaborated with Dhawan to make a hilarious comedy titled Deewana Mastana with Govinda and Anil Kapoor in the lead.

The plot revolved around two undeserving suitors vying for love of a pretty psychiatrist played by Juhi Chawla. One is called Raja (Anil), a small time chor while the other is a man child called Bunnu (Govinda) who happens to be her patient as well.

Of the cast, Govinda was simply brilliant as the dimwit Bunnu who walks baby steps at home but proves to be a tough nut for the local goon Pappu Pager (Satish Kaushik in an unforgettable special appearance). Anil Kapoor was efficient as ever as Raja and was a formidable foe to Govinda's Bunnu. Johny Lever as Gafoor Bhai was terrific.

"Head ya Tail" proved to be a hit number and Deewana Mastana was a box office success inspite of clashing with another David Dhawan comedy Mr and Mrs Khiladi which released on same day. This was second instance for Dhawan when his two films released on the same day. The first time was on 29th December 1989 when his Aag Ka Gola and Jurrat released together.

Deewana Mastana was special for Dadar-Mahim movie buffs like me as the iconic Plaza Cinema re-opened with this movie after it became a target in the 1993 Bombay blasts. There was a huge crowd lined up at the advance booking counters and the film ran housefull for the entire week here just because the audience wanted to experience the glory of Plaza once again. It was indeed a treat for its regular patrons like me. The timepass comedy that Deewana Mastana was turned out to be was an icing on the cake.

Seen this movie about 100 times ( and no i am not exaggerating). The movie has it's moment. Nothing hi-fi, but pure pure comedy.

everyone in the movie plays great.. suitable for family viewing..

i saw the movie yesterday and i really liked it.The songs were really good and the performances were good by ANIL KAPOOR and JOHNY LEVER the first half was not so good but the second half was really interesting and it had a suspense.It was better than those comedy movies who are made for no reason and don't have a story.But this movie had a story and a good story.The ending was really good and no 1 cud get to know that who she married ANIL KAPOOR or GOVINDA so that was the mystery if i would rate this movie i would rate it 8/10 which is good and if i would rate it at box office i would rate it Hit,Because it deserved to be hit and now i am disclosing the mystery the person that JUHI CHAWLA married was **********

Two criminals flee and settled in a city where one of them found his love interest, who is a mental doctor. On the other hand, one of her patients is also in love with her. Thus, it becomes a love triangle where one must sacrifice his love. But the question is, who?

Some movies I never delete from my hard drive so that I can watch them anytime I want or whenever I need to change my mood. This movie is in the top 10 list of that. One of the movies, that I watched more than 50 times.

Govinda is a natural actor, he is incomparable in Bollywood. But it is Anil Kapoor's performance that surprised me a lot. I have never seen a comedy movie about Anil before it. His pair with Johnny Lever is just unbelievable. It can't be described how it worked. I love Govinda since Raja Babu. I love Anil as a serious and action actor, since Meri Jung. I love Johnny lever in every film of him. So, when the three come in 1 movie, it likes a jackpot for me. And another thing that makes the combination more enjoyable is the director David Dhawan.

The songs are also very good. Especially, there bina dil lagtan nahin o meri jaan, kya karoon, kya karoon... Tu jonahin, much bhi nahin..., O mummy mummy, o daddy daddy, ho jao ready..., Head ya tail, pyar Mohabbat dil ka khel... The music has a touch of retroness.

Sadly, it didn't recognize what it deserves. A huge huge underrated comedy flick. No less than Andaz Apna Apna I think. Which is also another masterpiece comedy.

Watch it to believe it!
