Sridevi's mujra with Govinda in Gair Kanooni (1989): Comedy King and Queen

Govinda and Sridevi bring on the laughs in the 1980s Hindi flick, Gair Kanooni.

In one of the few mujras Sridevi ever did on-screen (unlike say her '80s contemporary Rekha), Sridevi brought a comedic twist to the song Tum Jo Parda Rakhoge in Gair Kanooni (1989). A rare film where she was paired with Govinda (who is the same age as Sridevi but came into the film scene after her), the movie was an average grosser. 

The real crime here was that the writers and directors didn't utilise the natural comedic skills of the two stars to make a better film. Talk about a wasted opportunity!

The producers ended up making decent returns, despite the long delay in production. 

Govinda spoke extensively with the media after the tragic passing of Sridevi. He, like the rest of the nation, couldn't believe the news...
