With Govinda Naam Mera receiving rave reviews, Dharma Productions end 2022 on a high

The year 2022 might have been a roller coaster ride for the Hindi film industry with theatres reopening after the shut down due to Covid and the audience’s taste changing in the last two years. However, Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions has emerged victorious with its amazing line up across different genres and appeal, and with Govinda Naam Mera receiving rave reviews all over, the production is ending the year on a high.

The first release of the year for Dharma was the Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa starrer Gehraiyaan. The film marked Deepika’s first OTT release and it received praise for its intensity and sensitivity with which it dealt with the issue of adultery and cheating in a relationship. The music of the film too topped the charts everywhere with Doobey, Bekaboo and the title track becoming a permanent fixture in every person’s playlist.

The next release of the year was the Varun Dhawan, Kiara Advani, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor’s JugJugg Jeeyo. The film brought back Dharma’s signature family dramas and the audience lapped up on it like crazy, making it a commercially successful venture. The Punjaabban Song became the national dance anthem for the year with everyone across the nation doing its hook step in every other video. Varun also showed why people consider him a master at marketing and promotion and the acting comeback of Neetu Kapoor just worked wonders. Even on its OTT release, the film became one of the most watched Indian film digitally.

Now, Dharma has ended the already successful year on a new high as their latest release, the Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer Govinda Naam Mera has been receiving rave reviews. In our review for the film at Bollywood Bubble, we gave the film 3 stars and a part of the review reads, “By the end of the film, all you gotta do is brace yourselves as the plot thickens and the mystery unfolds! I had a smile on my face. To be honest, I was giggling. And, for what it’s all worth, isn’t that what we all want from the movies? A happy end!” It has indeed been a happy and successful year for Dharma Productions, with Govinda Naam Mera taking it to the next level. With an interesting line up for the coming year that includes Selfiee, Karan’s return to direction in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and Yodha, they are just aiming to make 2023 even bigger and better.
