JORU KA GHULAM Cast: Govinda, Twinkle Khanna, Kadar Khan and Johny Lever Director: Shakee Noorani Music: Aadesh Shrivastava Rating: * |
This is a comedy film. Director Shakeel Noorani has made an attempt to copy a David Dhawan-Govinda film, but fails miserably. The film is inspired by Shammi Kapoor-Babita starrer Tum Se Aacha Koun. Dhaneshwar Pitambar (Kader Khan), a millionaire, has four daughters. His biggest problem is that all his daughters don't want to get married for different reasons. To solve the problem he puts an advertisement in the paper that anyone marrying any of his daughters will get Rs 5 crores. The daughters drive away the suitors who come to see them. The youngest daughter is Durga (Twinkle Khanna). Raja (Govinda) and his friend Kanhaiya (Johny Lever) rob people at the airport. In one of the cases, they rob an America-returned millionaire Raju Patel (Ali Asghar). Dhaneshwar who had come to receive Raju Patel mistakes Raja to be Raju Patel. He takes him home. Raja comes to know about the advertisement of Dhaneshwar's daughters' marriage. He tries to woo Durga to become rich by getting the Rs 5 crores. He even succeeds in getting Durga agree to marry him. But then Dhaneshwar tells him that he will give the money on one condition -- when all the 4 daughters get married. So creates a new job for Raju to find suitor for the other 3 daughter. As usual, he succeeds. Hardly any story. However if handled properly the film could have been a good comedy film. The highlight of the film is an excellent performance by Govinda. He is just too brilliant and has perfect timing for comedy. The Govinda-Johnny Lever scenes do succeed in making you laugh. Twinkle Khanna has slimmed down a lot and looks beautiful. She tried hard to match the steps with Govinda but has not succeeded completely. Aadesh Srivastava's music is average. A film to be watched only for Govinda's performance. Otherwise can give it a miss.
