The movie Banarsi Babu was a comedy flick directed by the famous comedy director David Dhawan who has given several comedy flicks with the lead star Govinda like Raja Babu. The movie is also a similar comedy flick but lacked the essence of Raja Babu. The story stats with Chaube ( Kader Khan ) starting a joint venture with his village-friend’s ( Kulbhushan Kharbanda with wife Reema Lagoo ) son. Gopi ( Govinda ) has a partnership alliance with Manchala ( Shakti Kapoor ). Chaube has a beautiful daughter Madhubala ( Ramya ) who was studying her higher studies abroad.

David Dhawan and Govinda produced movies have always been hit making them a successful and renowned pair. Though the movie lacks good music but it is the comedy of the movie that makes for this gap. But this movie suffers from loss of humor and good dose of laughter that has been their trademark always. The movie isn’t that great but the audiences will be hoping to see better movies from the duo.

The songs of the movie are:
1.    Banaras Ka Bhaiya
2.    Paan Ka Ek Beeda
3.    Saas Meri Bade Nakhre Wali
4.    Madhubala
5.    Meri Gori Gori Bahen
6.    San Sananan
7.    Sasuri Garam Garam
