Deewana Mastana

Plot synopsis:
Raja (Anil Kapoor) is a minor league crook who sells railway tickets on the black market at Amirpur Station. Tired of his job he looks for new ways to make a quick buck. One day, along with his friend Ghafoor (Johny Lever) and a police inspector (Avtar Gill), he robs Rs 2.5 million from the railway treasury. Later, Raja and Ghafoor bump off the inspector and run away with the loot to Bombay.
At the Bombay airport, Raja sees psychiatrist Dr Neha (Juhi Chawla) and promptly falls in love with her. Raja and Ghafoor quickly find out where she lives. Ghafoor pretends to be a psychiatric patient while Raja takes on the name Raj Kumar and befriends her, telling her he has just returned from the U.S. However, Ghafoor cautions Raja not to hurry and be patient in matters of love.
The trouble begins when Bunnu (Govinda), the son of a wealthy businessman (Anupam Kher), is sent to Neha for treatment. He is crazy, and terrified of fire, heights, running, and water. Soon, he too falls for Neha and discovers he has a rival in Raja. Neha has to leave for Ooty with her father (Saeed Jaffrey) to attend her uncle's (Shakti Kapoor) wedding. She does not leave behind a forwarding address. Both Raja and Bunnu impersonate policemen and intimidate her secretary into revealing where she is. Neha is thrilled to see them in Ooty but is drawn closer to the ill Bunnu rather than Raja.
Things take an ugly turn when Ghafoor tries to kill Bunnu, who escapes. Bunnu contacts contract killer Pappu Pager (Satish Kaushik) to bump off Raja. However, that plan fails. Armed with a gold ring and garland, Neha calls Bunnu and Raja to court, ostensibly with the purpose of marriage. Both are surprised to see the other there.
Then they find out, Neha is getting married to someone else, Prem (Salman Khan) and Raja and Bunno end up being witnesses to her marriage. Raveena Tandon makes a special appearance in the end as both Raj and Bunnu walk off together.

Review:
a "must-watch once" to say the least..
Seen this movie about 100 times ( and no i am not exaggerating).
The movie has it's moment.
Nothing hi-fi, but pure pure comedy.everyone in the movie plays great..
suitable for family viewing...
very enjoyable.
I have seen this movie at least 10 times and enjoyed every bit of it.
a david dhawan special.
Very good comedy acting by Govinda, Anil Kapoor and Johny Lever.
story is about how Govinda and Anil Kapoor try to outdo each other to win the affection of Neha played by JuhiChawla.
songs are also good..
One of the funniest films ever made.
This is simply David Dhawans Best Movie he directed.
If you are a Bollywood fan and know your Bollywood cinema, then the jokes in this film will appeal to you.
Out of all the funny movies I've seen.
These include Andaz Apna Apna, Coolie No. 1, Dulhe Raja, No Entry, Garam Masala, Hera Pheri and many more.
Deewana Mastana belongs to the Anil Kapoor and Johnny Lever Teamwork.
They both gave a comically brilliant performance.
Juhi Chawla looks cute.
Govinda, a natural comedian wasn't as funny as the others.
The ending was the funniest endings I've seen.
After getting fed up of watching Bollywood Movies with the same storyline over and over again, about 2 guys like the same girl, and one sacrifices.
you finally get a love triangle, where to men meet, instead of becoming friends, they instantly become the worst of enemies, fighting to impress the actress.
So much jokes.
Good comedy.
David Dhawan- Govinda are a great team ever since SWARG(1990) though their first film was TAAQATWAR(1989)The film has a simple story but it's damn funny In 1997 David had 5 releases HERO NO.1(hit), JUDWAA(superhit), BANARASI BABU(flop), MR & MRS KHILADI(flop) and DEEWANA MASTANA(hit)DD's favourite jodi known in 2 hero films are Sanju and Govinda but actually Anil- Govinda came out the best here This film is also special because this is dedicated to Manmohan Desai who died in 1994 and his son produced this film The story is simple, a love triangle and how 2 guys fight and try for a girl but knowing DD and his comedy the film is made a fun ride and it worksThe start is good, Anil's character is well introduced and then the scenes involving Anil and Juhi are okay but the real fun starts when Govinda enters and his swimming pool scene is the most funny one His scenes with Juhi especially the scene where he tells about his sickness is hilarious The games Anil and Govinda play keep you in splits while the entire track of both acting like inspectors is hilarious Even the Papuu Pager scene is funny The ending too is surprising and well handledAny flaws The length is one, the film does drag at times and secondly too many songs Also the film was in making for 2-3 years and the looks of actors keep changing but all this is forgivenDirection by DD is superb Music is goodAmongst actors Govinda and Anil are perfect in their respective roles while Anil plays a tapori kinda role which he specialised and does a great job His timing with Govinda is perfect and also with Johny Govinda too does his best and keeps you in splits, he played a similar role in PARTNER(2007) but this is better Juhi Chawla compliments both well Johny Lever is hilarious, nice to see him less loud and over the top like he mostly is in other films barring some In this film he is kept under control and is hilarious Amongst rest Anupam Kher does his usual madness, Reema Lagoo is okay Shakti Kapoor is as usual, Saeed Jaffrey is theatrical as usual Salman Khan is okay in a cameo.
David Dhawan has made many many enjoyable comedies in the 90's, but this movie along with Aankhen are his very best!
There is nothing novel to the story about 2 guys in love with the same girl(Juhi Chawla in this case) and how they try to outdo each other.
What makes the movie so enjoyable is the treatment and the terrific sense of comedy by both Govinda and Anil Kapoor.
Johny Lever is also very good and he gets a lot of scope to perform and does well!
Some of the most hilarious moments in the movie are when Satish Kaushik comes in as "Pappu Pager" and boy, that is what people talk about after coming out of the cinema hall!
His dialogues had become quite a rage amongst the youth back when the movie release in 1997.Govinda shows what he can do when it comes to comedy and his "baby steps, baby steps" is just superb!
Anil Kapoor matches Govinda step to step in this David Dhawan comedy, which not many other actors could do it easily in a David Dhawan flick.
Juhi Chawla is good at comedy as always and looks great!I wonder how many times I have seen this movie..
Funny but Not Memorable.
In this comedy, two small time crooks, Raja (Anil Kapoor) and Ghafoor (Johnny Lever) get lucky and rob a payroll delivery.
They go to Bombay with their loot, and Raja immediately falls in love with psychiatrist Dr. Neha (Juhi Chawla), and pretends to be a rich American to woo her.
In the meantime, Bunnu (Govinda) comes to Dr. Neha for help with his many phobias; he, too, falls in love with her.
Raja and Bunnu then begin a vicious rivalry to win her.The energetic and oh-so-cute Govinda, undoubtedly the star of the show, is a delight to watch.
His antics are well timed and nicely executed.
Johnny Lever won an award for his performance in this movie, but I felt it wasn't up to his usual standard.
Kapoor does a well enough job, but isn't a strong enough comedian to play opposite Govinda.
The music is nice, with average choreography.
The plot is fun, light, and occasionally silly, but though it does contain a twist, is not memorable..
Govinda Magic!.
One of the most prolific, talented & stylish actors of his time.
Give this actor any role, and he'll still pull it off with ease.
Having seen most of this iconic actors films, I can very confidently say, that, Govinda is boon to Cinema.'Deewana Mastana' is a romantic-comedy about two guys who fall in love with the same girl.
Thus, follows a series of comedic moments, that lead to a long-drawn culmination.As a film, 'Deewana Mastana', at best, can pass off as a time-pass entertainer.
To be really honest, it's mainly Govinda's fantastic performance that works the most & he is without a doubt, the biggest strength of the film.
Sure, there are moments that truly bring the house down, but, in the second-hour, the film drags itself a bit too much & loses pace.The Writing Material is entertaining in the first-hour, but slips quite a bit in the second-hour.
David Dhawan's Direction is good.
Cinematography & Editing are passable.
Songs are hummable.Performance-Wise: Govinda, Govinda, Govinda.
He delivers a fantastic performance, and owns the film.
Anil Kapoor is alright.
Juhi Chawla does well.
Anupam Kher is top-notch.
Johnny Lever is genuinely funny.
Shakti Kapoor is fair, while Satish Kaushik leaves a mark.
Salman makes a cameo in the climax.On the whole, Watch it for Govinda..
good work.
i saw the movie yesterday and i really liked it.The songs were really good and the performances were good by ANIL KAPOOR and JOHNY LEVER the first half was not so good but the second half was really interesting and it had a suspense.It was better than those comedy movies who are made for no reason and don't have a story.But this movie had a story and a good story.The ending was really good and no 1 cud get to know that who she married ANIL KAPOOR or GOVINDA so that was the mystery if i would rate this movie i would rate it 8/10 which is good and if i would rate it at box office i would rate it Hit,Because it deserved to be hit and now i am disclosing the mystery the person that JUHI CHAWLA married was **********.
David Dhawan's best.
David Dhawan's best.
I think DM has just weird one liners.
The whole film works on one-liners.
"Uncle Jee Payein Lagoon, Pooja Jee Bye Lagoon" types.
Its never ending.
When i watched this film in the theater i actually did not find it very funny but then people discussed dialogs in the college and I realized i didn't know a single dialog so i watched it again.
The first dialog that hit me was Gaffur's "Dosti Dushmani Main Badal Jayegee" and I loved it instantly.
Now when i watch this film I wonder how I missed such a fantastic dialog.
"Mujhe Gussa A Gaya Tha", "Interval Ke Baad", "Manipulative Kisam Ke Admee", "blakiya Kisam Ka Admi", "Dost Hain", "chicken Mat Khana" are other fantastic phrases.
My favorite remains "Apka turn-over Kitna Hai?"...
"Kabhi Turn Kar Ke Dekha Hee Nahin".
Kader Khan's guest appearance is brilliant.
Anil Kapoor is very funny.
Govinda is too much.
Govinda is too much.
Juhi is OK.
"Rajaji Aap Banate Kya Hain?"..
"Ap Ke Haath Main Kya Hai?"..."Machis".."Jee Bas Wahi Nahin Banate".
Brilliant 9/10.
