As i was driving back, the FM was on in the Car and like it usually happens if you are a movie buff, whenever a song plays from the times gone by, one suddenly feels a surge of memories, emotions associated with the time when you hear or watch that piece of music or movies...The radio was playing the song from "Hero No 1".Govinda
The name that every avid movie goer in the 90s remembers with fondness...Govinda, the man who had it all but yet didnt quite get it all...If ever there will be a Golden list conpiled of the actors in Hindi cinema who were blessed with comic timing, Govindas name would be deeply ingrained in that...There would be very few actors in Indian cinema who could better Govinda in pure comic timing...I can think of the late mahmood, Sanjeev kumar and Kadar khan.....
Also if there were ever a list to be made of the best dancers in Hindi cinema, Govinda would again figure right at the top of the list...
An actor with brilliant comic timing, and extra ordinary sense of dance...This is the thing thats different about Govinda....When other dancer actors dance, Like Hrithik roshan or tiger Shroff, the dance looks so much more professional and like a real tough job to do....But when Govinda dances, its all heart and less of technique..one cant take their eyes of Govindas bountiful frame, when he gyrates his ample body with the grace of a slithering snake and mouth wide open ready to laugh out the loudest laugh........
Mid 90s was also a period when me and many of my friends, were transitioning an important phase in life...From school to college, moving from teens to 20s....thats a tricky time to be in life stage....when one is in their 20s, then Higher studies and jobs ensure that your primal worries remain only about survival....But its that delicate phase when one is moving from teens to 20s, is when things can go awry.....
Luckily for us we had Govinda and his movies to transition us through that phase...
Salman Khan wasn't quite the star that he is today...Aamir was as usual selective..shahrukh was overdoing his lover boy Rahul image with Kuch Kuch Hota hai, dil to paagal hai , mohabattein..movies that made one shed litres of glycerine and tears in the halls....Akshay Kumar was struggling to find his act together....
Those were the days when Govinda was ACtually a much bigger commercial success with the very successful template of movie making with David Dhawan....Thank you Govinda for helping me and many of my friends help make that smooth and simple transition to Early 20s...those were the days of Single screens and you were the man of the hour then....
Hero No 1, Coolie No 1, shola aur shabnam, Anari, bade miyan chotey miyan, Haseena maan jaayegi Jodi No 1, some of your all time rib ticking movies....
I still cant get your character of Chacha ji in haseena maan jaayegi, out of my mind.....Thanks for giving us those songs and those movies and more than anything else thanks for making 90s so cool with your work..........
