Govinda Naam Mera

Govinda Waghmare, Vicky Kaushal, works as a backup dancer for Bollywood films in Mumbai and dreams of becoming a choreographer. His marriage to Gauri Waghmare, Bhumi Pednekar, is strained, and he longs for a divorce. But Gauri makes the split costly, insisting that Govinda pay her ₹2 crores—the amount she says was dowry at the time of their wedding. Gauri also has a boyfriend, Baldev Chaddha, Viraj Ghelani, who works as an insurance agent, adding another layer to the couple’s tumult.

The family saga behind Govinda’s world runs deeper. His father, Gopi Vishwakarma, Ganesh Acharya, was a renowned fight choreographer, and his mother, Asha Waghmare, Renuka Shahane, was a backup dancer. They fell in love while working on films and married, but tragedy struck when Gopi died in an accident. Since then, a long-running dispute has festered between the Vishwakarma side and Govinda’s family over a bungalow that Gopi had left for them in his will. The Vishwakarmas claim that Asha’s marriage to Gopi was a sham and part of film life, which has fed a bitter legal battle. To complicate matters, Asha has been playing the part of a paralyzed woman to gain sympathy and tilt the case in their favor.

Within this fraught web, Govinda entertains a darker impulse—he contemplates killing Gauri and even obtains a gun from Inspector Javed, his old friend, though he does not summon the nerve to pull the trigger. Javed insists on a payment of ₹2 lakhs for the gun, a debt Govinda cannot settle, and the pressure from Javed becomes a constant menace in Govinda’s life.

A break comes when Govinda and Suku Shetty, Kiara Advani, land a chance to choreograph a music video for the wealthy producer Ajit Dharkar’s drug-addicted son, Sandeep “Sandy” Dharkar, Jeeva. The project gives Govinda and Suku more screen time than Sandy, drawing the ire of Ajit Dharkar, who demands ₹30 lakhs in reimbursement for the money spent on the production.

Soon after, Govinda discovers Sandy injured in his car after a crash. With Sandy unconscious, Govinda and Suku seize a stash of drugs worth crores that Sandy had in his car, and Suku suggests they sell them. They return to Govinda’s home, where they stumble upon Gauri lying dead on the floor—at least, that’s what they think. They bury her in the garden to erase evidence, but the discovery unsettles them. The next morning, Manju, the maid, finds a broken glass piece stained with blood and reports it to Inspector Javed, throwing the investigation into a new direction.

The plot thickens as Suku reveals Govinda’s alliance with Vishnu Vishwakarma, and Baldev confronts Govinda, revealing he suspects Govinda of murder because Gauri had taken out a ₹2 crore life insurance policy with Govinda as the nominee. On the advice of their lawyer Kaustubh Godbole, Govinda and Asha decide to move the bungalow deal forward, selling it to the Vishwakarma family for ₹2 crores and starting anew elsewhere. Meanwhile, Sandy notices the drugs are missing, and an anonymous tip prompts Ajit to detain Govinda and anyone who knows him.

A raid at Ajit’s house uncovers more drugs, and the police grow suspicious as evidence shifts around. Some drugs are found at Inspector Javed’s residence, hinting at his possible involvement, while the Vishwakarma family learns that Gopi had acquired the land illegally to build a school, complicating their plans to flip the bungalow for a reported ₹150 crores to a real estate developer. The situation spirals into a high-stakes clash among all parties involved.

Six months later, Govinda calls Suku, Vishnu, and Charulata to meet him in Thailand. To their shock, Govinda is living a luxurious life alongside Asha and a very much alive Gauri. He reveals that Suku betrayed him by working for Vishnu, and that he, Gauri, and Asha had orchestrated an elaborate ruse: they faked Gauri’s death to claim the insurance money, drug money, and the bungalow’s sale. Baldev and Kaustubh, who were in on the plan, also stand to gain. The film ends with Suku, Vishnu, and Charulata drugged, unconscious, as Govinda and the others walk away laughing, having pulled off a complicated, layered con.

This story blends ambition, deceit, and family turmoil into a sprawling, twist-filled drama where loyalties shift and the line between truth and manipulation repeatedly blurs.
