Oh 90s. Dear, dear 90s. What an era.
The age of (no) innocence.
The age of tasteless dance moves.
The age of harassment, justified. Harassment, glorified.
Presenting a signature song from the '93 movie Ankhen, which made girls all over India put away their red dupattas and black kurtis in storage. Forever.
Enjoy the cringe-fest.
The age of (no) innocence.

Presenting a signature song from the '93 movie Ankhen, which made girls all over India put away their red dupattas and black kurtis in storage. Forever.
The song starts with Govinda and Chunky Pandey prancing around in signature Govinda clothes. I don't know who is worse in identical clothes -- the Eli re eli sisters or these two brudders from two mortified mudders.
While Govinda demonstrates appropriate roadside behaviour...
Chunky Pandey decides to talk to Raageshwari's tummy like some expectant father.
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF A DANCE MOVE IS THIS?!
And, um, this is how they apologise for their misbehaviour.
But the girls come around, of course. That's the whole point of these songs.
I don't know what is more disturbing -- their gestures shown above or their lyrics shown below.
Pehli mulaakat mein ladki nahin khulti
Har ajnabi pe dil ki yeh khidki nahin khulti
Khidki nahin khulti, yeh khidki nahin khulti
Yeh khidki nahin khultiiiiiii.... haan!
Govinda shows a few more of his moves...
...while Chunky Pandey continues talking to his unborn baby.
Then very suddenly, the four of them decide to enter the Punjab Youth Club BANGARA competition.
Though to be honest, this doesn't at all look like a bhangra move to me.
Enjoy the cringe-fest.

Your entire blogathon has been a cringe-fest, Sayesha; much to our entertainment!
This was a time pass film with so many people in double roles... At that time, when we didn't use to think too much or read between the lines, even these songs sounded fun..
Today, I wrote three fictional short stories that start with Once Upon a Time...
Once Upon A Time
I love the choice of song. I also love Govinda, and the movie! This is very confusing!
Prathima,
LOL. Thank you? :D
Charan,
Yes, double roles and double meanings were very common in the 90s.
chengiz,
I know what you mean. I know this song quite well but I don't remember being so offended by the video the way I am now.
