Know more about the captain of the Ship, the director:  Dhawan started off as an editor before moving into directing. He specializes in directing comedy films, most of which have featured Govinda, Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor or Sanjay Dutt in lead roles, with Raveena Tandon, Karisma Kapoor, Juhi Chawla and Sushmita Sen playing the leading actresses. Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Johnny Lever and Paresh Rawal appear in his films playing supporting roles. His biggest success to date is 1993's Aankhen, starring Govinda and Chunkey Pandey. His Partner (2007) also became a big success at the box office.

Dhawan is on the board of Asian Academy of Film & Television and Asian School of Media Studies where he has been honoured with an Academy Award by Sandeep Marwah. He was a judge on the Star Plus show Nach Baliye 3 in 2008 and on the show Hans Baliye.

Dhawan first teamed with actor Govinda for the film Taaqatwar (1989). He then formed a collaboration with Govinda and went onto direct 17 movies with him as the leading actor, most of which were comedy films. The films made by their collaboration are Taaqatwar (1989), Swarg (1990), Shola Aur Shabnam (1992), Aankhen (1993), Raja Babu (1994), Coolie No. 1 (1995), Saajan Chale Sasural (1996), Banarasi Babu (1997), Deewana Mastana (1997), Hero No. 1 (1997), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (1998), Haseena Maan Jaayegi (1999), Kunwara (2000), Jodi No.1 (2001), Ek Aur Ek Gyarah (2003), Partner (2007) and Do Knot Disturb (2009). Aankhen became the highest grossing film of the year and one of biggest all-time blockbusters ever. Partner, which co-starred Salman Khan, grossed Rs.300 Million in India on its opening week, the second highest domestic opening week gross for an Indian film until then.The same year, Salman Khan invited Dhawan and Govinda on his show 10 Ka Dum to celebrate their film Partner. Dhawan got back to the trio of Govinda, Vashu Bhagnani and himself with the film, Do Knot Disturb.

My Gut Feel and comments:
David dhawan came back strongly last year with her remake of Chashme Baddoor, movie was indeed special with apt casting and sensibly handled non sense situation base comedy. Now with david dhawan is coming up with his latest offering with his son Varun Dhawan in main lead under ekta kapoor’s banner. Promos looks fines, songs are catchy and star cast is young.

It is the remake of successful Telugu movie Kandireega as ekta kapoor brought the rights of this movie in Rs 2 crore.   With time although our cinema evolved and similarly our audience evolved however still with single screen cinema has its share of audiences, main tera hero would found its audience there.  I somehow not very optimistic about this movie and expected it to be an average full on masala entertainer which would practically a onetime watch.


I would give this movie 2.5 stars out of 5 stars, five days before the release.
