5 Reasons that make the Vicky Kaushal – Bhumi Pednekar – Kiara Advani starrer Govinda Naam Mera a must watch

The much talked about and keenly awaited release Govinda Naam Mera is all geared up to release on December 16. The film starring Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar, and Kiara Advani will release directly on OTT, with the film streaming on Disney+ Hotstar. While there still is time till the film releases, Bollywood Hungama gives you five reasons why Govinda Naam Mera is a definite must watch.

Casting: Starting off we have to admit the unique casting of the film is a massive draw. With powerhouse performers like Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and of course Kiara Advani, who has been on a high this year, one can expect nothing less than perfection. In fact, witnessing the chemistry between Vicky and Kiara will be a sight to behold if going by past experience from Lust Stories the two are sure to captivate the audience.

Performances: Coming to the performances, with Vicky Kaushal playing a never seen before character, the Uri actor will be seen in an out and out tapori role, contrary to the usually serious characters he has played on screens. Besides this, Vicky will also be seen shaking a leg to the foot tapping numbers in the film.

Apart from Vicky, Govinda Naam Mera also boasts of stellar performances from Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani. While Bhumi has over the past enthralled us her on screen presence and characterisation of various roles, Kiara on the other hand has fast become the nation’s favourite this year.

Unique Story: Unlike conventional Bollywood entertainers, Govinda Naam Mera features a quirky story with twists galore. In fact, the film promises to be a masala potboiler that will entertain the young and old alike.

Dialoguebaazi: Coming to the dialogues in the film, need we ask for more proof after Bhumi Pednekar revealed that the film features some unconventional material. In a statement made by the actress talking about the film, Pednekar revealed, “I honestly have loved delivering the punches in the film and I have to admit that I have been given some of the most hilarious punchlines by Shashank”. Continuing further the actress had added, “What I love the most about my dialoguebaazi in Govinda Naam Mera is that they are from the heroine’s side and that’s refreshing for a romantic comedy in the Hindi film industry because traditionally only heroes used to get all the great dialogues in a genre like this and make people laugh.”

Music: Talking about the music of the film has already feature two songs that have captivated the audience in the form of ‘Bijli’ and ‘Bana Sharabi’. With three more tracks to come, we are sure that we will be seeing Vicky dancing a lot more. In fact, the actor a while back had gone on record to state that for Govinda Naam Mera he had taken dancing tips from wife Katrina Kaif. Given his teacher, we are sure that Vicky will burn the dance floor.

In conclusion, Govinda Naam Mera, which features, humours, thrills, suspense and a story that will enthral all makes for a perfect holiday potboiler to be enjoyed by the entire family.

SCOOP: Akshay Kumar’s OMG Oh My God 2 deals with sex education; the actor confirms that it’ll release in April or May 2023

Akshay Kumar released a record of 4 films this year in cinemas and 1 on OTT. And in 2023, he’s expected to have multiple releases, as expected. The superstar recently made his presence felt at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia where he shared an interesting detail about his upcoming film. Akshay revealed on Saturday, December 3, while having a conversation with moderator Kaleem Aftab that one of his forthcoming films talks about the importance of sex education. Akshay stated, “It’s a very important subject. In a lot of places, (sex education) is not there. We have all kinds of subjects we learn in school and sex education is one topic I would like all the schools in the world to have. (This film is) going to take time to release, it’s going to be April [or] May.”

Akshay Kumar, however, didn’t mention the name of the film. Fans were left wondering which film this might be. Bollywood Hungama has the answer to it. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film Akshay Kumar spoke about is none other than OMG Oh My God 2. It is a hard-hitting yet entertaining courtroom drama wherein a concerned citizen moves court and asks for compulsory sex education in schools.”

OMG Oh My God, which was released in 2012, was also a courtroom drama and starred Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. It was the story of Kanji (Paresh Rawal), an atheist, whose shop got destroyed in an earthquake. When the insurance company refused to reimburse him citing ‘act of God’, Kanji filed a case against God. Akshay Kumar played Lord Krishna and how He became a part of Kanji’s struggle formed the crux of the film.

In OMG Oh My God 2, Akshay Kumar is rumoured to be playing Lord Shiva, evident from the first look. The source continued, “A film named OMG Oh My God will of course have a divine connection. The writers and director Amit Rai have smartly incorporated the God element and the unusual court case revolving around sex education. The makers are confident that it’ll pull audiences and ignite a discussion.” Besides Akshay, it also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam.

Interestingly, Akshay Kumar, while talking about the film at the festival, also hinted about its release period – April or May 2023. An industry expert told Bollywood Hungama, “The month of April is crowded with releases. May 2023 is an apt time. Besides Yaariyan 2 and Swatantraveer Savarkar, no other film is scheduled for release.”

Aamir Khan gets emotional as he recalls the time when they were almost on the streets

After the debacle of Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan announced a break from doing Bollywood. The actor-producer recently celebrated a special moment in his life as a proud father as his daughter Ira Khan (with first wife Reema) and her fiancé Nupur Shikhare hosted a special engagement bash for their family, friends and relatives. Now, the actor has given a heartfelt interview to Humans of Bombay in which he recalled the time when his family struggled for family. He revealed that his father Tahir Hussain was a great producer but a bad businessman as he was always paying off debts.

Recalling the struggling days, Aamir Khan said, “I remember there was this film called Locket. It had Jitendra, Rekha, Kader Khan, like some of the biggest actors. At that point of time, actors would do about 30 films a year. So if you are not that famous a producer, you wouldn’t get that kind of priority. So my father would get pushed around. This film got stuck for dates and it took eight years for my father to make it.” Talking about how people would often call at his residence, demanding their money, Aamir added, “Situation was so bad that we were almost on the streets.”

He continued, “Unko problem mein dekh ke takleef hoti thi kyuki un logon ke phone aate the jinse paise liye hain. Unka jhagda shuru hojata tha phone pe ki ‘main kya karu, mere paas paise nahi hai. Meri film atki hai, mere actors ko boliye dates dein mujhe, main kya karu.’ (we were so troubled and hurt to see him in that condition. People, who had loaned him money, would call. They would start arguing and fighting as my father would insist that he doesn’t have any money to pay them off. He would question them saying that his film is stuck because actors are not giving him dates, what should I do?)”

The actor became emotional when he reminisced about how he, a 10-year-old boy then, felt helpless about not being able help out his father. “The thing that would trouble us most was to see our father like that. He was a very simple man. Maybe he didn’t have enough sense that he should not have taken so much loan,” he added.

“My father was an above average producer. His sensibilities were nice and he did choose good stories but he didn’t understand business. We can only draw this conclusion because his films have worked well but he was always in debt,” he concluded.
