Govinda aala rey…
One place that celebrates life, death, re-birth, marriage and just about every festival is Bollywood. Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, Karwa Chauth, Valentine’s Day…. the actors dance and sing to bring the moment alive on screen. And the words that have made repeated appearances in Hindi are those of the Govinda—Govidna aala rey!
Be it Amitabh Bachchan collecting the entire nagri with Mach gaya shor saari
nagro main (Khudaar) or Ajay Devgn throwing an open challenge, Jiteyga wahi
jismain hai dum in the movie Sangram.
For Lord’s sake
As we bow our heads to the beloved flute-playing God, Krishna, this Janamashtmi, the excitement builds up not only in the temples but also in the families who firmly believe in the Lord. From dressing up the God to keeping fast and making a feast for the family, the day marks a transcendental storm in the kitchens.

On a song
One should never underestimate the importance of music in Hindi films. A film might or might not be a hit but if it has some original music to boast of, half of the work is done; probably the reason why in Mahesh Bhatt’s films music is always given a lot of importance. It’s this fact that Bisakh Jyoti refers to when asked whether he will be able to establish himself in the industry amid cut-throat competition.

relationship to reality,” said Wonderwall.
