7 Govinda Songs Which Make You Fall In Love With Him Instantly

Govinda aka Bollywood’s Chichi Bhaiya is one of the most favourite actors of cine-goers across generations. He is widely known and appreciated for his expressions; there’s another dance going on in that area altogether. During the era when Govinda songs ruled the screens and hearts, one knew that they are up for a joyride even before entering the theatres. Needless to say, Govinda became a brand in the 90s. Back then, films were mainly about romance, comedy, action and dance, and he undoubtedly flourished in all these sectors only to become the ‘Hero No 1’.

Govinda carved a niche for himself and found his foot in the movies. One way to know if an actor has gained the love of his audience is when they go crazy for his songs. He was a quintessential desi dancer, but adding his style and swag to the choreographed moves was what made him stand out. Govinda songs are loved till date and those peppy numbers have been etched in our memories forever to cherish and dance to. Let us dig into some of his popular songs and groove to them while we are at it!

Sona Kitna Sona Hai

Govinda has some of his best songs with Karisma Kapoor. They have the best chemistry onscreen. All their songs have a special place in everyone’s heart. They both compliment each other so well that you just get mesmerized by their performance every time they grace the screen.

In this song, we see all the people in the background looking at these two dancing. But, they have danced like no one’s watching. Their expressions in this song are to die for. It instantly lights up your mood and how! Not only in India, but it is popular across the globe. Trust this song to make you want to get out of your bed and break a leg. It is one of those songs that always make us nostalgic and appreciate them like never before!

Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare

This song sums up the 90s in every way possible. It is one song that has all the elements of the 90s: from locations and costumes to music and dance moves. But, the thumkas in this song are the best part and stars of this song, Govinda and Raveena Tandon, have danced their hearts out.

The song is about the two of them expressing their love for each another but the highlight is the quirky lyrics used in this song. Sometimes actors perform in a way where they themselves do not have a clue of what they are doing, and it is one of those songs. When legends come together and create a number, we get Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare!

Tujhko Mirchi Lagi Toh Mai Kya Karu

The dynamic jodi of Govinda and Karisma has never failed to entertain the audience. This song is all things quirky and one of its kind. The song is conversational yet we are so engrossed because of a variety of things. The effortless dance of Karisma in that saree, the breathtaking energy they both bring to the song, the innocence of the background dancers and the list goes on.

Only David Dhawan has the eye to bring this kind of entertainment to the big screen. The Mumbaiya essence in this song is just outstanding — be it bhel puri or the hook step of tujhko mirchi lagi toh main kya karu. Everyone has danced like it might be their last!

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda in one frame — now who wouldn’t want to watch that? Both of them have unique personalities and impeccable screen presence. Both are known for their unique style of dancing. And watching them both perform together in this song is nothing short of a treat for sore eyes.

Even if it is just a step of them moving their feet, still, they have done it with amazing expressions and unmatchable co-ordination. They have made even the ordinary look extraordinary with their talent. The vibe of this song is just pure fun. Both of them can be seen enjoying what they are doing and expressing the joy of having fun in life to the fullest. It’s that song where everyone goes ‘Aha!’ after hearing it.

Soni De Nakhre

Govinda in the movie Partner is one of his most-loved performances by the audiences. His comic timing and over the top expressions are so much fun to watch. The unexpected pairing of Katrina Kaif and Govinda was the highlight of this movie.

After watching the opening shot of this song, we instantly know what to expect from it. Govinda is simply hilarious in this song: he makes you laugh and at the same time makes you fall for him. Most of us have mispronounced ‘Oh Keindi Pump Up The Jam’ lyric. In the song, Govinda’s character Bhaskar is trying to woo Katrina with his dance and tries to do steps that come naturally to him which are rather single screen. But Salman’s character of Love Guru makes him do fancy steps which are much harder for him. It’s just pure fun and entertainment to watch him dance in this situation. The song truly deserves more and more love.

Kisi Disco Mein Jaaye

The stars of this song are Govinda, Raveena Tandon, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan and the most darling ‘Ooh’. The way the expression ‘ooh’ is used in this song is the cherry on the cake. And when Govinda presents every ‘ooh’ on the screen with a different expression, you know that no one could’ve performed on the song better than him. The song is about a couple who wants to spend time together and do all the fun things.

At the start of relationships, we all want to do the typical things with our partners and get to know them better. Most of the times, your family does not know about your relationship and you have to sneak around and lie to them because you want to do all those things with your loved one and that’s what makes it fun at times. The hook step of this song is evergreen. If you are as free and madcaps with your partner as Govinda and Raveena are in this song, then you are lucky!

Bam Bam Bambai

Though there are many other hit songs of Govinda, this song has been loved by fewer people but they have dedicatedly listened to this. This song is from the movie Swarg, undoubtedly one of the best works of Govinda. Your heart reaches out to him for the loyalty he shows towards his Sahab Rajesh Khanna and his family in the movie.

This song plays where we see his character has found a way to survive in the city of dreams ‘Bambai’ (Bombay), now known as Mumbai. People come to the Maximum City with aspirations and dreams to succeed in their careers. Even the smallest of work encourages them to move forward. In the film, he is celebrating his initial achievement and is learning to survive. He is looking at all the positives and specialities of Mumbai and appreciating its beauty. Clearly, you can take the person out of Mumbai but you cannot take Mumbai out of that person.

We all have heard Govinda songs when we feel low. We love to dance to these songs when they are being played especially on speakers. Every time they have made us smile and made us happy about life. Thank you, Govinda! You have gifted love and laughter to everyone out there, and there is no greater gift than this.
