To me films like Dhule Raja, Raja Babu, Coolie no.1 etc. are still entertainers and i do not miss it when on TV (of course when i have absolutely no work). There was content in those films no matter how cheap they look today. And of course Govindas performance was praise worthy. <br /><br />Whereas, Players is a depressing rip off of a great film (1969, not 2003). Style is what they have focused more than content and performace (the story of most bollywood flicks).<br /><br />Another reason for Govinda movies to do well in the 90s is maybe because of the flurry of similar looking action flicks (compare any Akshay kumar movie). Probably a reason why audiences flocked to watch Govindas plain entertainers.ElmerFuddnavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560753025102995101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795516404305877299.post-21552825054563517572012-01-14T18:06:25.443+05:302012-01-14T18:06:25.443+05:30Still give it a thought.

During the 90s, people would flock in to watch Govinda in what were basically mindless comedies. Now, they were not intelligent movies by any mile but still these movies ran to full houses and were hits.<br />Shouldnt movies like that have a different rating status? I mean take Players for instance, maybe Abbas Mustan wanted to make a masala movie without making any sense and make it a hit the way Karan Johar and SRK do because maybe for them money is the be all and end all. <br /><br />P.S: I went to watch Players after reading your review and yes you were right it sucked.ElmerFuddnavishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560753025102995101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795516404305877299.post-55797176832713892102012-01-10T08:14:16.766+05:302012-01-10T08:14:16.766+05:30Hindi movies should come with a warning - "To...Hindi movies should come with a warning - "Too much exposure to Neil Nitin Mukesh can result in partial or total blindness"<br /><br />NNM = Perfect light reflector! <br /><br />P.S.
