GOVINDA

 

Born: December 21,1963

Govinda is a star celebrated for his impeccable comic timing and distinctive dance style. His slapstick humour won over audiences, and his unique moves turned many of his films into box-office hits throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Despite his popularity, he has often been viewed as an underrated actor who never quite received the memorable, substance-driven roles his talent deserved—a situation shared by several of his contemporaries. Govinda’s films were undeniably entertaining and enjoyed strong commercial runs, but he always needed visionary directors and serious filmmakers who could fully harness his potential.
