Naseeb

Super performance by govinda it's a super hit movie and very good dialogues. The performance of each actors are commendable. Dialogue delivery and performance of each character has well managed. The first part of the movie and the ending has well managed The songs are super hit and has huge craze during those days.

Govinda is playing a different character than his usual comedy and what a performance he delivered mind blowing and award winning performance. He has that natural dance moves and god gifted the acting skill which new actors does not carry. We want to see him more and more in movies.

This film by no means is Govinda's best overall film, but it does have one of his most superb performances ever put on film. This is a serious film and has Govinda in a very serious role, there is little to no comedy in this film (which is a good thing). This film proves that if given the chance Govinda can shine in dramatic roles, in my opinion his role in this film is only second to that of his role in Muqabla. I gave this movie a 7.5/10 but because the soundtrack was good as well, the overall score is 8/10 from me. This film deserves better reviews, its a wonder how some critics thought that just because this film wasn't a comedy that it wouldn't be good. They are thoroughly wrong, if you are a fan of Govinda or would just like to see a good film, I recommend this one.

Don't fall for lower rating, it's a great movie to watch. Don't miss it. What a performance by Govinda...Best part is dialogues...songs are so realistic that perfectly match the mood of the movie. I like it too much. You will also like it...just feel it.

I don't know why critics panned this film and why hardly anyone went to watch it just because it was a serious film starring Govinda. At this period in 1998 he was the comedy king and people felt serious film plus Govinda equals bad movie. So when Naseeb came out the theatres were said to be empty. Naseeb by no means is flawless but it ain't bad even if the story seems outdated.

Govinda basically plays a rich alcoholic businessman who meets Kader Khan and makes him a close friend. One day while dropping a worker (Rahul Roy) off home he sees his wife (Mamta Kulkani) who happens to be his ex-flame. On asking of Kader Khan, Govinda explains everything. How he fell in love, how he went away to make money, how when he returned he witness his love marrying someone else.

Along the way there are some twists and turns and the climax which is not bad. The flaws are the set-up and pictureisation of the movie. It seems outdated and looksmore like a early 1990s movie than a late 90s movie. Also Mamta Kulkani has put on weight that ain't much but is noticeable. She does what is required but lacks the presence of a Karishma or a Kajol. Rahul Roy who disappeared for awhile then came back in the industry has an outdated hairstyle and miss-fires. He talks rather slow almost as if he is trying too hard to get every word right. It would have been better off if a Anil Kapoor or even a Sunny Doel done this role.

For me the film runs on Govinda. Given perhaps the best serious role since Hatya. Govinda real does show he has the talent to shine. There are scenes where just the use of his eyes portray his emotion. In light comedy he is the usual brilliant Govinda. He also has some good lines in the movie like.

The best song is the title song which Govinda portrays beautifully.

Kader Khan is good and shares good chemistry with Govinda. Shakti Kapoor main line is " Rama o Rama", he is OK.

Overall Naseeb is worth watching because of Govinda. He does show his talent in this film, just a shame people never really gave this film or him a chance for that talent to be shown to the public.

One of the best performances ever given by Govinda and the muses recited in this movie were quite relatable.
