Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hai

   
Jis desh mein ganga rehta hai------- yes, the answer is obvious. It is not only the River, but also the movie and the audience for such movies also exist only in India. The Hindi version of the Marathi hit, Ektajeev Sadashiv, is below average movie.
  

Ganga (Govinda) a happy- go- lucky boy, is an undeclared leader of a gang in the village which is all the time doing nothing but enjoying. Village Belly Sawari (Sonali-Bendre) is member of that gang. Ganga’s river of love starts flowing towards her. Unfortunately when her father comes to Ganga’s house and proposes formally, Ganga’s father shockingly reveals the story which took place, 27 years ago. It is a flash back which reveals, the rich background of the hero. As usual he is son of a very rich business man Shakti Kapoor, the whom every one presumes as Ganga's father is only the care taker/Guardian of Ganga. Ganga's father leaves him in the village as Ganga will be suffering from a mysterious disease which not even the world top scientist would understand. The only cure for the disease is he will have to live amidst the goats. The

Guardian father politely apologizes and convinces others of his helplessness.
   
Ganga now comes back to his father who is living in an highly sophisticated atmosphere. Ganga suffers from a culture shock as he is grown up like a 10th century village boy(not 20th). He now becomes victim of the jealousy, greediness etc., of the other family members for whom he is no more than a joker. Tina (Rinki Khanna) comes for his rescue and converts him to a polished gentle man. Eventually Tina falls for his goodness, innocence etc., as this is a relation which will match their social status, they even arrange for the engagement. Sawari withdraws as a typical tyageswari. For their bad luck, the things follow are  predictable. If Sawari is

tyageshwari, Ganga is worthy of the title Tyaraja the Great. He openly takes the responsibility of a rape/murder case of his brother. It ends with a happy note where his brother openly declares the innocence of his brother.
 
The Comedy King Govinda, is at his best. If he fails to tickle the audience, it is the fault of the weak script. Sonali Bendre is very beautiful and the roll suits her. Rinki Khanna needs lot of homework. Music is also ordinary. Choreography is good. Those who don't pay attention to the logics and want to kill time can go for this one
