Upen shakes a leg with Govinda

The bigger the stars, the more humble they are. It was the time for Govinda, one of the most popular stars of recent times to play the perfect co-star. He helped the non-dancer Upen Patel to do the right steps and also to match with him. Upen Patel who was very excited to have danced with none other than Govinda was made perfectly comfortable by him. The dance was for the promotional music video for their upcoming film ‘Money Hai Toh Honey Hai’. The film is directed by Ganesh Acharya and has Manoj Bajpai, Celina Jaitley, Aftab Shivdashani , Hansika Motwani and others in the casting crew.

Upen who has done only four films and a non-dancer admits that he was very nervous on hearing that he will have to dance with Govinda. But with Govinda around it seems that nobody can stay nervous. The song for which both the actors danced is very speedy and catchy; the dance track is being done by Nitish-Soni who is new in the business. Ganesh Acharya who is the director of the film is a popular choreographer first. His first direction was ‘Swami’ which starred Manoj Bajpai and Juhi Chawla and was major box office failure. Upen finds Govinda a very warm human being. Govinda who is in the film industry for decades is mainly known for his excellent dancing skills. Both Govinda and Ganesh as a choreographer have done many films together and this is Govinda’s first film under the direction of Ganesh Acharya.

Govinda Alaa re..............

With yet another girl being eliminated, the number of girls for the title of Indian Idol seems to be dwindling. It’s now becoming more difficult for the top 10 contestants to move towards the title.

Each week, the competition becomes tougher. In the coming week, the contestants will have to show their flair in singing both slow and fast numbers. The result: a mind-blowing show of talent and determination to excel. The best part of the show was that the celebrity guest, the janta ’s actor Govinda, also matched their talent with his own at singing and dancing! Govinda sang, danced and simply swept the contestants, audience and even the judges off their feet.

Puja kick-started the show with a superb performance and everyone followed it up with their best too. Chang once again proved his mettle. But it was Emon who dominated the show with his spirited performance, which had even Anu Malek acknowledging it with his trademark poetry!

But the two people who stole the show were once again Amit Paul with his heartrending Why did you break my heart... and Tum kya jaano mohabbat kya hai . If Amit brought the house down with his singing, Ankita burnt the dance floor with Govinda to the tune of Babuji dheere chalna and Babuji zara dheere chalo . The ace performer that Ankita is, she managed to entice Govinda to dance with her. Together, they were a riot!

Not to be left out of all the song and dance, Anu Malek and Alisha joined the gang on stage to bring down the curtains on a delightful evening. Govinda’s presence seemed to have brought out the best in everybody. And it was great to have Javed Akhtar back in the judge’s chair.

How did the celebrity judge, who sang and danced and rocked the show, feel about coming back after a hiatus? He candidly confessed that Salman Khan was indeed the friend who helped him out of his rough patch with a role in Partner, his comeback venture.

Now that he is back, he has promised he is going nowhere... he belongs to the world of glam and glitz and he is here to stay.
