Khuddar- Govinda Sucks as a Cop


KHUDDAR 1994
by
Iqbal Durrani



A thoroughly illogical and poorly made film is Khuddar. Govinda  as a cop looks like a joke. He screams a lot, grapples with anger issues and  has strange notions of duty . The heroine , Karishma Kapoor, runs around in skimpy clothes, but all that is to support orphans, and later goes blind and homely. Strangely , the orphans also go missing once they serve the purpose of giving her character certificate.
Shriram Lagoo is strangely subdued. Kadir Khan is out of form. Shakti Kapoor is not as mean as he could be. This is the problem of scripting and direction.The film is full of corny dialogues. Anu Malik’s music is good.
Govinda once catches a flying pigeon and boasts that he could count feathers of a flying bird.(Why catch it then ? ) The film turned out to be disappointing, although I had better remembrances of it. Guess its time’s doing.
