A poor choreographer named govinda Waghmare (Vicky Kaushal) is torn between his love for dancer lover Suku and his marriage to Gauri (Bhumi Pednekar), who abuses and belittles him often (Kiara Advani). However, when Gauri is found dead and he is named the major suspect, his issues escalate and his life becomes a roller coaster.


The film, which is set in Mumbai, rapidly establishes govinda Waghmare's backstory of how he and his mother Asha (Renuka Shahane) inherited "Asha Niwas" and are now proprietors of this home worth Rs 150 crore. On his birth certificate, his name is misspelt as Govind A Waghmare. Cut to their current battle with Charulata, Asha's husband's ex-wife, and Vishnu, her son, over the same land (Akshay Gunawat). Additionally, govinda is juggling his lover Suku, who wants to marry him, and his wife Gauri, who wants a divorce but expects two crores in exchange. Most of the time, we are aware of what will occur before Gauri is discovered dead and govinda is accused of killing her. But by this point, the movie had enough of comedy, drama, tension, and an oddball murder mystery.

In this 90s-style thriller, writer-director shashank Khaitan aims to provide an appealing blend of humour and intrigue. With just the perfect amount of humour and unexpected turns, the premise is lighthearted. When new characters are introduced in the movie, such six-pack sandy and his father, they bring their own drama with them. The film's lighthearted tone and nonstop humour keep you entertained for the most part. The first half is plenty of hilarious moments, but it also drags at times and the jokes that repeat themselves (such "My name is govinda, not Govind") get old. The second half, though, is more entertaining and snappy.

In a never-before-seen role that is evocative of a classic masaledar 90s bollywood hero, vicky kaushal excels. With just the proper amount of vigour and comedic timing, he gives govinda life. The dancing routines Kaushal does to well-known songs like Radha Teri Chunri, Kajra Re, and Bang Bang, as well as his dream sequences, are amusing. Although Bhumi gives a sincere performance as the tyrannical Gauri, there may have been greater exploration of her complex bond with Govind. Suku is a role that kiara advani performs admirably and with the fervour that role calls for. renuka shahane is pure dramebaaz as Govinda's paralysed, wheelchair-bound mother. Their housekeeper Manju, played by Trupti Khamkar, and their lawyer Kaustubh, played by Amey Wagh, both have a natural sense of humour.

You'll start moving to both of the energetic songs, Kyaa Baat Haii 2.0 and Bijli. john Stewart Eduri's background music for the movie is cleverly composed and fits the mood of the narrative. Everything about Vicky and Kiara's performance, from their matching clothing to their dancing to the song Pappi Jhappi, makes you think of the absurdity and eccentricities of the comedy from the 1990s. 

Govinda Naam Mera is a clean entertainer featuring plenty of humour, bewilderment, and hilarity that is sure to amuse the crowd.
