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 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.

You will really enjoy that movie at least better than movies these days! Vicky Kaushal proved that he is a versatile actor and comic timing is as good as his serious performances. You gonna love Mrs Malhotra's(;)) performance as well.

Pace of the movie was also good. You gonna stick to the screen whole time.

I believe they could also release that movie in theatres but anyhow they released it on OTT so enjoy it in your leisure.

If you watch Bijli song you gonna think its Shahid Kapoor who choreographed that song. Only actor who can do Govinda's role as good as Vicky is Shahid Kapoor.

Enjoy this movie and ignore negative comments.

This is a good time pass movie! If you are tired and simply want to enjoy/relax, then, Govinda naam Mera is for you.

Casting: All the actors so a decent job including Kiara (which is surprising). Bhoomi got very little screentime.. they could have utilized her more.

Comedy: It's an absurd comedy like old priyadarshan movies. Put logic aside and simply have fun.

Plot: Quite decent. The shocking reveal in the end was somewhat predictable but still keeps you hooked.

Music: I didn't like it much. But thik hai!

Overall do give it a try :) it's a good OTT movie. Happy that they didn't release it in theatres.

The Movie overall was great, it was something new and fresh; that's what it felt like to me, the beginning was little slow but as the movie went on, it picked up the pace really good, kept me hooked to the movie till the end. Great work. The acting of vicky kaushal and Kiara Advani was something refreshing to see, since it's been a long time since we have seen a new pair on screen, apart of them, bhumi did a great job as well; she gave us continoius laughter through out the movie. I wish that the starting could have been a little better but apart from that, movie kept us interested, so i would recommend it to watch it with family, since this is best one time watch film!.
