The Mathematics of being Govinda

MUMBAI: He's probably the only man we know who can bring a smile to the face of ol' Grumpy', and then just as emotionally make them shed a tear. No wonder Govinda tops the popularity charts.
The Mathematics of being Govinda
<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">He’s probably the only man we know who can bring a smile to the face of ol’ Grumpy’, the fabled Dwarf. A man who can make a theatre-full of people laugh violently with his undisputed histrionics of hilarity, and then just as emotionally make them shed a tear at the depth of tragedy he puts into a scene.

He is the man every other star calls “The Complete Actor�, from Shah Rukh, to Aamir, to Anil, to everyone else. The heroines love him too; for he’s made stars out of many a nubile actress. No wonder <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Govinda</span> tops the popularity charts of everyone he meets. <br /><br />Flooring all with his inimitable <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">jhatka numbers</span>, his ‘<span style="" font-style:="" italic="">mere pant bhi sexy’ </span>numbers and his preachings on the <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">fundas</span> of <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">andaas</span>. As slap stick it might appear, believe it or not, the masses crave for more and more of their adorable Chi Chi’s magic performances. <br /><br />Now, after a long hiatus away from the media glare, concentrating on his work, he is back with yet another offering from the David Dhawan baton, produced by Subhash Ghai’s Mukta Arts, and co-starring Sunjay Dutt, Amrita Arora and Nandini Singh. And <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Ek Aur Ek Gyaarah</span>, inspite of promoting bad mathematics (yes, he begs to differ from Aryabhatta’s arithmetic), is ready to rock with vintage Govinda yet again.<br /><br />Read on and discover the real mathematics of the masses, Chi Chi style ... <span style="" font-style:="" italic=""> </span><br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Are you hoping that the Sunju-Govinda magic works again with ‘Ek Aur Ek Gyarah’?</span><br /><br />“It’s not just the Sunju-Govinda magic that will drive the <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">junta </span>to the theatres. Amrita Arora, David Dhawan and the entire team put together will create magic in this film. I feel the real magic lies in the spontaneity of making the film. Your finished product is the part of so many raw things, and the rawer the product....the more natural is the final thing. By the grace of God the film is looking really good...so this will not just be a surprise to the audiences...it’s been a surprise for us too.�<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Did you lose a lot of weight to be able to match Sunju’s muscle power?</span><br /><br />“It’s silly for Govinda to even try matching up to Sunju’s muscle power. He’s a six feet tall macho man...with a powerful personality. So I’ve just put my acting in to focus and given a lot of weightage to my performance instead.�<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">What’s </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="" font-style:="" italic="">Ek Aur Ek Gyarah</span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold=""> all about...</span><br /><br />“It’s a different kind of entertainment that David has tried with this film. The music by Ehsaan-Loy is also very up-market and catchy. I don’t wish to reveal much, as the more I tell you the lesser will be the surprise element. Whenever anyone asks me what this film is all about I say...it’s the story of two characterless people who by the end of it all bring out their real character.� <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">What’s so ‘different’ about this ‘different’ comedy film?</span><br /><br />“The title, to begin with...ha ha ha!!�<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">So how did the calculation go so wrong? </span><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="" font-style:="" italic="">Ek Aur Ek Gyarah kaise hua?</span><br /><br />“Ek Aur Ek makes two in mathematics, but on an emotional level one and one make eleven. When two people unite and become one through trust and loyalty, they have the power of eleven people."</div> </div>
