Deewana Mastana

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.

I have seen this movie at least 10 times and enjoyed every bit of it. a david dhawan special. Very good comedy acting by Govinda, Anil Kapoor and Johny Lever. story is about how Govinda and Anil Kapoor try to outdo each other to win the affection of Neha played by Juhi

Chawla. songs are also good.

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!

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 **********

David Dhawan has made many many enjoyable comedies in the 90's, but this movie along with Aankhen are his very best! There is nothing novel to the story about 2 guys in love with the same girl(Juhi Chawla in this case) and how they try to outdo each other. What makes the movie so enjoyable is the treatment and the terrific sense of comedy by both Govinda and Anil Kapoor. Johny Lever is also very good and he gets a lot of scope to perform and does well! Some of the most hilarious moments in the movie are when Satish Kaushik comes in as "Pappu Pager" and boy, that is what people talk about after coming out of the cinema hall! His dialogues had become quite a rage amongst the youth back when the movie release in 1997.

Govinda shows what he can do when it comes to comedy and his "baby steps, baby steps" is just superb! Anil Kapoor matches Govinda step to step in this David Dhawan comedy, which not many other actors could do it easily in a David Dhawan flick. Juhi Chawla is good at comedy as always and looks great!

I wonder how many times I have seen this movie.
