This movie came at a time when every big heroine wanted to act opposite either to the Khans or Govinda. Govinda was at the top of his game in those days. Even his flop movies used to do more business than average movies. Especially David Dhawan and Govinda combination was like Shahrukh-K Jo combination.Amitabh was trying his hand at his comeback.He desperately needed a hit at that time.This movie and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" were released on the same day. Though KKHH went on to become a blockbuster, this movie was nonetheless entertaining.Raveena was probably the only actress after Karishma who could match up to Govinda's standards. Even though she was nothing when compared to Karishma who shared an incomparable chemistry with Govinda, she was only other possible alternative. This was the second last time Amitabh had a heroine opposite him(the last being "Suryavansham"). Though he looked old, but curvaceous and wholesome Ramya Krishnan was not a wrong choice to be casted opposite him.Anupam Kher and Satish Kaushik provided full entertainment in supporting roles. Songs were typical Govinda style with "Kisi Disco Mein Jaayein" and "Makhna" being the top chart-busters of that time. Bollywood was so much of fun in those days. If one makes these kind of movies today, it won't run for even a week, but it certainly entertained people in those days.One of the things to be noted was Govinda towering over Amitabh. It was evident that Govinda was in charge here and not the Bachchan.
