User Reviews
It has a dry script, exaggerated expressions and a meaningless plot.The theme may sound interesting but the treatment is highly amateurish.Overall the film tests the patience of the audience and verdict on the fate of the film is just unfavourable.
The box office says it all. Not a good collection, it fails to attract audience. A list of comedy films has hit the theaters and this is among them. The pace of the film is slow and there is a lot of loopholes in this film.
The movie revolves around a guy called Govind who gets befallen with bad luck continuously. He is so unlucky that even cows stop producing milk when he passes by them. One day due to a funny incident, Govind gets put on the limelight on television and has to go to Mumbai. There he gets involved with a bunch of underworld bookies. The premise sounds good but the execution is horrible. The actor who plays the role of Govind (a newcomer - Gaurav Kapoor) has no understanding of acting and becomes nauseating to the audience very soon. The plot has lot of loopholes and one fails to understand why Govind sticks with the bunch of hoodlums and doesn't run away. Overall, there is nothing good about Bad Luck Govind and the movie won't have any good luck in the box office.

And a bunch of actors trying desperately to do the 'tapori' act.
Govind (Gaurav Kapoor, of Channel V fame) is convinced that the moment he gets close to anyone, he brings them bad luck So a bunch of goons (Parmeet, Vrajesh, Govind) commandeer his services to put a hex on their rivals.

Unfortunately the film fails on both fronts.
One feels sad for Bad Luck Govind essentially because the plot had plenty of potential which wasn't tapped appropriately.
Playing a nobody is no easy job and calls for good talent.
