Product Description
Tony (Govinda) is a free-wheeling, fun-loving tourist guide who makes the most of every day and enjoys life as it comes. One day, while waiting for customers at the airport, he meets the beautiful Sonia (Aishwarya Rai) and immediately appoints himself her guide. Sonia, it turns out, is in town to search for her mother's grave, and Tony, who has fallen head-over-heels in love with her, does everything he can to help. The pair spend many fun-filled hours together, and Sonia takes great pleasure in the light-hearted ways of her new helpmate - but what will happen when she finds out how this happy soul really feels about her?

I love everything about this film - the song and dance is great, the plot compelling, the acting first class. The story tells of how Tony, a tourist guide, falls in love with a beautiful young girl (Ashwaira Rai) whilst remaining oblivious of another girl's love for him.
Non Hindi speakers beware - there are no subtitles.

Sanjay Dutt's career is one of Bollywood's cautionary tales, in my opinion... in his early films you can really see a definite screen presence and raw talent that evokes memories of his ultra-talented parents, Nargis and Sunil Dutt. Nargis in particular, was by any standards one of Hindi cinema's finest actors of all time. Watching his earlier films ('Naam' is one of them), I always feel that Sanjay could have had a great career, maybe not one that rivalled his parents' careers, but a great one nonetheless, if only he hadn't veered into the lifestyle that stole some of what could have been his best years. Now, he seems somewhat washed up and rather the worse for wear, and although he continues to work in Hindi films, his output now is mixed at best (and mediocre at worst).
Anyway, back to 'Naam' - as I said, Sanjay had tremendous screen presence in his earlier films, and this one is no exception. Oozing masculine, raw physicality, he plays the bad boy beautifully in this film - your heart aches for him even as you watch him go down a self-destructive path. His scenes with the unforgettable Nutan are so compelling - he holds his own opposite her, which is hard to do... Nutan was such a consummate actor. Kumar Gaurav does a good job as Dutt's foil in this movie... he could have had a better career, one feels, if he wasn't typecast so early in it. All told, this is a good Bollywood movie from the 80s (and there are precious few good Bollywood movies from the 80s, in my opinion) - what elevates it from the throng is Nutan's amazing acting (as always, restrained, graceful but powerful and evocative), combined with Sanjay Dutt's intensity and raw talent.

Govinda gives a damn good performance. Jackie is just about okay. Aishwariya is nice but Namrata steals the show from Aishwariya. Okay, she's not as good looking as her sister Shilpa but she can act.

Govinda is so cute in this movie. He is a good actor as well as a good dancer. I have been looking for this DVD for awhile now and I finally found it here on Amazon for a good price. Worth every penny.

one of the greatest performance of Sanju

It is one of greatest performance ever made by Sanjay Dutt. this movie is primarily based on the firm bondage between two brothers Sanjay Dutt and Kumar Gourav and gradually turned into the saga of Sanjay alone. This film also made Paresh Rawal as a stunning villain of Hindi film industry. The song Chtti Aihey by Pankaj Udhas is one of his most touching songs. Above all this film is the turning point of the career of Sanjay Dutt and the mile stone for director Mahesh Bhatt as a commercial director.
