In the glittering galaxy of Bollywood only a handful of stars have managed to sustain their stardom despite not doing movies for years. However there is one star who made this possible and it is none other than Govinda. He made his debut with the 1986 film Ilzaam which turned out to be a hit. One of Govindas biggest hits was released in 1993 which earned 10 times more than its budget. While the movie was a hit it was Aamir Khan who called the film obscene. If Shah Rukh is the King of Romance in Bollywood then Govinda is undoubtedly the King of Comedy. He has delivered many big hits in his film career. One of his most special films is the 1993 film Aankhen in which Govinda played a double role. Apart from Govinda the movie also featured Chunky Pandey Raageshwari Ritu Shivpuri Shilpa Shirodkar Kader Khan Sadashiv Amrapurkar Shakti Kapoor and Raj Babbar in key roles. When Aankhen was released it became a huge hit and went on to become the highest-grossing Indian film of 1993. Aamir Khan had said in an interview in 1993–94 that a film works because of a good story and stars only boost its success. The host then asked Aamir Khan that if this is so then how did a film like Aankhen do wonders at the box office even though its story was not good. Aamir said that though the director of the movie David Dhawan is his close friend he still doesnt understand why he directed the movie. Calling some scenes obscene Aamir said that he did not like the film. Aankhen was made for approximately Rs 2.5 crore. It earned Rs 25 crore at the box office and became the highest-grossing Indian film of 1993.
