See this is what I am talking about Govinda in a villain role, he's one of the few actors in bollywood that could do all kinds of roles, some actors aren't capable of all kinds of roles for exmaple Ajay Devgan, sure I like him in villain roles, or his silent roles he has given us in the past, but he cannot do comedy, like govinda or aamir khan, ajay devgan's miserable skills for comedy in hum kisi se kum nahin, proved that when the movie flopped.
The movie is directed by n.chandra who gave us good movies in the past TEZAAB, ankush, narsimha, humla, then he came back with shikari in the year 2000. The movie stars govinda, karishma kapoor, tabu, kiran kumar, nirmal pandey and johny lever.
The movie is about Om shrivastav (govinda) who escapes from jail and goes to south africa, telling everybody that he is businessman, and changes his name to mahinder pratap, with a help of a casino owner (swheta menon), Om organizes a meeting where he tells everyone that his plans are to capture the spice market and export spices lower then the current rate.
Om throws an open challenge to a rich bussinessman the spice king virender rawal (nirmal pandey) to back out of the bussiness, things get out of hand between the two then rawal warns om, however om murders him and tell his family members wife suman (tabu) and sister rajeshwari (karishma kapoor) that he is a close friend of virender rawal.
Rajeshwari vows to get her brothers killer at any cost, however she is unable to locate any bussinessman name mahinder pratap, om gets close to rajeshwari and the two falls in love.
Shweta menon who is aware of om's identity makes a deal with rajeshwari, about revealing the killers name to her for a big price, but before shweta could tell rajeshwari the truth she is murdered by om. In the meantime rajeshwari and om decides to get marry and suman (tabu) is not happy with the and refuses their marriage.
Rajeshwari learns that once suman and om were in love when they used to live in a small village in india, Rajeshwari flees home and tries to find out what's going on and om tells her that he has always been in love with suman, that was the reason he killed her brother.
The story line starts off interesting, when govinda lands in southafrica and tells everybody he is businesman, they show him being an intelligent criminal. The story line falls flat when govinda reveals that he loves suman. The movie has two many songs that just jumps out of nowhere, some are unwanted songs in the movie that you don't need in a movie like this. Cinematogrpahy is good in parts, but could have been better. Action of the movie is pretty good as well.
The only reason I watched this movie was, of course govinda and tabu, but I knew tabu wouldn't have a interesting role, so govinda was the reason I watched it for. Govinda proves that he can do more then comedy roles. He makes you watch the whole movie with his performance, even if the movies goes out of places, but not govinda's acting. Karishma kapoor I don't even want to talk about. Tabu looks nice and acts well in the role given, she doesn't have a good role as karishma but does her part like always. Johnny lever is funny he entertains you in his role. Nirmal pandey is as usual if you have seen jaab pyar kiya tu darna kya.
The music is okay my favorite were bahut khoobsurat gazal likh raha hun and shikari and shikar kiya, I am not sure I think the music is by anu malik
