One at the price of 2

[silvan-desouza · 6/10 · 23 March 2009]

GOPI KISHAN released in 1994 when suddenly Suneil had got 4 hits like DILWALE, MOHRA and ANTH

This is one of his solo hits

The film is age-old formula

Action + comedy

But thanks to several portions which are damn funny it becomes a nice fun even the revenge bit is well handled Climax is nice

Direction is good Music is good, especially HAI HUKU

Suneil brings a nice diversity in both roles, though his voice modulation is bad at times, he acts well in both roles one of his funniest performances He is good as Kishan too

Shilpa Shirodkar and Karisma fill the bill though Shilpa is annoying at places

Suresh Oberoi is good Aruna Irani, Mohan Joshi are typecast

Sunil shetty's one man show

[vjnambu · 10/10 · 7 March 2021]

Gopinath(Sunil Shetty) is a naive and timid constable who is ridiculed by his wife chandha(shilpa shirodhkar) and son tinku. Kishan(Sunil Shetty) is a convict released from prison recently. He wants to become a police officer but due to his criminal background he is refused of the job. One day gopi's colleagues see kishan misunderstanding him as gopi and takes for a mission. Kishan successfully beats and arrests those criminals. After, it gopi is in the top of the world as a daring cop. While kishan fights criminals, gopi gets the credit. Kishan's mission is to find his dad Suresh oberoi who is working as a don with sawant and eliminate the drug mafia. Rest of the film is how gopi and kishan are related. The highlight is sunil shetty as gopi. It was the first time, he played a comic character. It might be over the top for some people but I enjoyed his goofy antics. As kishan he is the routine action hero. Another highlight is the performance of the child actor tinku where his line mere do baap are hilarious. Both karishma kapoor and shilpa shirodhkar were good as heroines. Suresh oberoi, mohan joshi and aruna irani were adequate. On the whole, gopi kishan is a very entertaining comedy action film. Watch it for sunil shetty as gopi.

One of the best Action Comedies from the 90s

[superindrajit · 9/10 · 19 October 2011]

Action Comedies were not so popular in the 90s as mostly, typical action films used to rule the 90s. Some of these typical films were good while several were horrible. Sunil Shetty who debuted with the hit Balwaan(1992) underperformed with flop Pehchaan(1992). However, 1993 wasn't entirely bad as Waqt Hamara Hai(1993) was a hit and Anth(1993) was a superhit. 1994 was great with films like Dilwale(1994) and Gopi Kishan becoming hits. Whereas, Mohra(1994) was a big hit. Although, Hum Hain Bemisaal(1994) was a flop.

Gopi Kishan released in mid 1994 and it became a hit at the box office. The film is the same old formula of twin brothers separated at birth because the villains wreak havoc in their father's life. One brother grows up to be a cop while the other becomes a ordinary man who has just been released from prison. There are several well handled scenes like both the Sunil's confronting each other, the clumsy Sunil getting beaten up by some bad guy, the strong Sunil beating up the same bad guy and the cops thinking that Gopi has become strong because of Bajrang Bali(God). Several other scenes like this are hilarious and this saves a typical action film from being completely typical. The climax is good and for once, it isn't prolonged. However, the emotional scenes are boring and this slackens the pace of the film.

Direction by Mukesh Duggal is good, he gets a hit after producing the flop Platform(1993). The film is well handled mostly but there are the typical 90s clichés like politicians easily escaping jail(when it isn't possible).

Sunil Shetty is awesome as Gopi, he makes you laugh at several places though he does overact slightly. As Kishan, Sunil is good and it's good to see him fight normally. In films like Anth, he would shout will running towards and kicking the enemies(this was very irritating). Karishma Kapoor is good while Shilpa Shirodkar is decent. Suresh Oberoi is good as the troubled father. Mohan Joshi is typecast and repeats his typical villain act. Side villains like Arun Bakshi are typecast as the typical politician. The rest provide decent support.

Action is good, Music is decent. However, only Hai Huku and Kisi Ko Dil are hits and the better of the lot. The raunchy songs are lame.

On the whole, Gopi Kishan(1994) is one of the superbly handled action comedies from the 90s. These kinds of films made audiences and critics appreciate Sunil Shetty.
