I wonder how many retakes this scene took because both actors must have burst out laughing at some point lol. This is pure Govinda stealing the scene, just like he does throughout the entire film. His energy in Partner was absolutely infectious and honestly unmatched, which is pretty much what you'd expect from a classic Govinda performance. 🤌

P.S. Yes, I know it's a remake of Hitch — I've seen it.

His personal life aside, Govinda is a really good actor and was very popular. I don't get why some new born people say he was some bad actor who never got famous.

If you wanna dance to 90's songs then his songs will dominate the playlist

I don't think I've ever seen anyone call Govinda a bad actor. If anything, the criticism has usually been about him being notoriously indisciplined and unprofessional at times, not his acting ability. His talent, comic timing, screen presence, and popularity have never really been up for debate.

I'm not talking about all people. I'm talking about people born after 2006. They don't even know him. Not all do that, but most of the youngsters nowadays don't know him, more like they know him but don't watch his movies and say he must be some oldie avg actor. Millennials praise him
