Actor-Director duo of mindless comedies.

David Dhawan and Govinda was a popular duo in the 90s and was mainly known for making comedy movies. The first movie they did together was Taaqatwar in 1989. But the first movie they did together in the comedy genre was Shola Aur Shabnam in 1992.

The actor-director duo then went on to make many comedy movies together. They were:

Aankhen

Raja Babu

Coolie No. 1

Saajan Chale Sasural

Banarasi Babu

Deewana Mastana

Hero No. 1

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

Haseena Maan Jayegi

Kunwara

Jodi No. 1

Kyo Kii... Main Jhooth Nahi Bolta

Ek Aur Ek Gyarah

Partner

Do Knot Disturb

This actor-director duo was later on replaced by Priyadarshan and Akshay in the next decade for making mindless comedies.

The first comedy movie they did together was Hera Pheri in 2000, which later on went on to become a cult classic. This lead to them doing other comedy movies together. They were:

Garam Masala

Bhagam Bhag

Bhool Bhulaiyaa

De Dana Dan

Khatta Meetha

Their movies are less in number compared to David Dhawan and Govinda's filmography, but in comparison this duo of Akshay and Priyadarshan is still not far behind in popularity.

Which actor-director duo you loved more?

I personally used to like Priyadarshan comedies but just the ones until that film with Mahima and Sunil Shetty. I find David Dhawan movies unbearable, way too must slapstick comedy for my liking

David Dhawan and Govinda movies/songs still play to this day

Like Salman is my fav but nowadays the DD/Chi Chi songs and movies are all I seems to listen to now
