Average comedy film but good action film
22 March 2020
Bunnu(Govinda) and Munnu(Chunky pandey) are two pranksters always creating headache for their millionaire dad Hasmukh Rai(Kader Khan). Their happy go lucky life takes a turn when they find out a political conspiracy where chief minister(raj babbar) is impersonated by a look alike so that natwar shah(gulshan grover) a millionaire involved in a scam could be released. Bunnu and munnu are found by its mastermind criminal tejeshwar(shakthi kapoor), where bunnu is caught but munnu escapes. Bunnu manages to escape but gets shot and is assumed dead. Munnu gets framed for murdering bunnu and now he's on run. On the other hand in a village there is bunnu's lookalike gaurishankar(Govinda) who is the son of hasmukh rai's long lost twin brother neelkanth(kader khan). When gaurishankar travels to city he's misunderstood as bunnu and reaches to hasmukh. Bunnu is found alive and while going back is caught by gaurishankar's love interest chandramukhi(Shilpa shirodhkar) and gets stuck with her. Tejeshwar wants to find and kill munnu and bunnu so that their plan doesn't go in waters. How bunnu and munnu saves the day is the rest of the film. Govinda performs his dual roles very well. Chunky pandey was also good but got overshadowed because of govinda's dual acts. Shakthi kapoor was menacing as tejeshwar, kader khan also played his dual roles well. Among heroines only shilpa shirodkar got something to perform. Songs were excellent and my favorite was angna mein baba, lal dupatte waali and bade kaam ka bandar. But comedy of the film is just average. David dhawan and govinda's previous film shola aur shabnam and future films had better comedy than this. On the other hand, action and thrilling parts were good. There are some illogical scenes too. On the whole david dhawan packaged very well aankhen as a comedy action film.
