Govinda, who is best known for movies like Hero No.1, Coolie No. 1, Dulhe Raja, Hadh Kar Di Aapne, and more, is one of the versatile actors in Hindi cinema. Fondly known as King of Comedy, he once signed more than 70 films in his initial career at the age of 21. The 61-year-old actor hasn't had any successful releases for decades. Let's revisit his filmography from 2008 to 2019 while analyzing what went wrong after Partner.

Analyzing What Went Wrong After Partner?
Govinda had his last successful venture in 2007, i.e. Partner. He collaborated with David Dhawan, his lucky charm for the 2007 romantic comedy. Co-starring Salman Khan, Lara Dutta, and Katrina Kaif, Dhawan's directorial was a superhit.
Govinda's comedy charm is missing in his movies from the recent times. Also, the Hero No.1 actor should reunite with David Dhawan to end the dry spell of his career as he has delivered most successful movies with the director, especially in the 90s.
