 Review On Govinda by RAGHUBHAI -- MouthShut.com
His full name is Govinda ahuja’s i think he’s punjabi, i know that because he pulled out a punjabi album in the year 1999 called kar diti jaan which had all punjabi songs, but was a big flop only had one good song, but spoke good punjabi though.
Govinda shares great chemistry with sanjay dutt on screen all together they have done 5 movies, Do qaidi way back in 1985, taqatwaar in 1987 which did decent business then Haseena man jayegi, jodi number one which were hits and ek aur ek gyarah did average.
Govinda needs to open his own film company or be a producer an start to do good roles then comedy, i would reccomend him trying villainous roles, that would suit him too.

On the other hand, Govinda was a political greenhorn, though his parents — father and small-time producer Ashok Ahuja and bhajan-singer mother Nirmala Devi — had been Congress workers.
But having struggled in the early years of his acting career, Govinda is as street-smart as the small-time crook he played in Bade Miyan, Chhote Miyan.
Smart lines such as, “Meri har kavita vastavikta hogi, mera har pravachan vachan hoga” (every poem of mine would be a reality and every sermon a promise) reminded one more of a bad Hindi poetry teacher than a good politician with his ear close to the ground.
