Bad Luck Govind is the story
of an obsessive, compulsive, down on his luck, young man
Govind (VJ Gaurav Kapur), who has somewhat of a
mind-blowing disconnect with the higher powers of the
universe.
His bad luck is so strong that it immediately passes on
to those around him.
On arriving in Mumbai, his
luggage gets stolen and to earn some quick money he
decides to go for sperm donation. Here he comes across
Dr. Anu (Hrishita Bhatt) and a wannabe actor Vishal (Amit
Mistry) who helps him move ahead. Vishal takes Govind to
a local bookie Kapoor (Parmeet Sethi) and thus begins
Govind’s up and down, left and right journey into the
hands of wrong people who misuse his bad luck for their
own benefit. In the end Govind realizes his luck is not
really that bad in other aspects and new situations in
his life.
The concept is different and some initial few minutes
are engaging and have some freshness. Bus as usual in
other hindi flicks, as the film proceeds, it ends up
being a long story, when will it end??

Like, even cows stop producing milk when he walks by a tabela. Even fresh milk instantly
curdles when poured into a cup of tea, people fall of
their bicycles, and such funny bad luck moments.
Working in Delhi in a TV Channel as a production
assistant, he gets fed up of his forever running bad luck
and now heads to Mumbai to change his luck for the better.
A hilarious natural incident
with news anchor Mamta (special appearance Archana Puran
Singh) lands Govind in Mumbai from his native Delhi, where
the stage is now set for Bad Luck Govind, when six madcap
underworld 'bhai' bookies and a gorgeous nurse collide -
as their collective kismat's intertwine and explode in
more ways than one can keep count.
What follows is madness, mayhem and hyper drama as Govind
learns to romance life and rediscover faith in the power
of positive.
VJ turned actor Gaurav Kapoor is natural and the
appealing Hrishita Bhatt is just okay. Govind Namdeo and
Vrajesh Hirjee perform their own created image roles.
Amit Mistry is impressive, but Archana Puran Singh and
Parmeet Sethi are just above the mediocre levels.
Eventually, of course, Govind discovers the power of the
positive.
The debutante director, Varun Khanna is unable to
exploit a fresh premise which had the potential to be a
decent comedy but falls short of that.
