Film Of The Week: Shola Aur Shabnam

Writers:

Comment- MUST SEE. One of the best romantic dramas where Govinda and the late Divya Bharti shine. This was a landmark film for Govinda after a spate of multistarrers. Shola Aur Shabnam was a complete entertainer directed by David Dhawan. An action film that gives scope for some memorable performances from Govinda, Divya Bharti, and Gulshan Grover. Govinda is at his usual best.

The first half of the film is a complete comedy provided by Divya Bharti, Govinda, and Anupam Kher.The spoiled and arrogant brother, Bali, of notorious gangster, Kali Baba, enlists in the National Cadet Corps, and wants to have his way with his fellow-students and trainer, Inder Mohan Lahti, with comical results. When he meets Divya Thapa for the first time, he is smitten by her, and wants to marry her by hook or by crook. But Divya is in love with Karan, and both plan to marry each other. Circumstances act against them, and they flee together, with Kali Baba's men, and Divya's Police Commissioner dad, Yashpal Thapa, in hot pursuit, to an unknown destination, surrounded by a web of lies, deception, and no known resource to assist them.
