Govinda Week 2010!

Because all the cool kids are doing it, here's a post inspired by Govinda, that whacky lovable dancing wonder.  Sadly I don't own any of his films or there'd be a review here instead, but what I can offer are a couple of my favorite Govinda songs!


 "Usne Bola Kem Chhe" from Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hai is a song I first came across while watching SaReGaMaPa a few years ago.  Mauli Dave did an outstanding version, and it became one of my favorite songs.  It was only a few months ago that I thought to myself, hmm...maybe I should check out the original. (Be patient, the guy who posted this vid did a bit of self promotion in front of it!)





My only other exposure to Govinda (besides his brief bit in Om Shanti Om, which follows) comes from his appearance with Salman Khan at the 2007 IIFA Awards, where he performed to the hit song "Soni De Nakhre" from the film Partner.  I love love love him in this video.  He almost makes up for having to watch Salman and Katrina "dance."



And lastly, a very brief glimpse of Govinda in "Deewangi Deewangi" from Om Shanti Om.
