What happens

Shikari (transl. The Hunter) is a 2000 Indian crime thriller film directed by N. Chandra. It stars Govinda, Karishma Kapoor and Tabu, in pivotal roles. It was the second collaboration between the Govinda-Karishma-Tabu trio after Saajan Chale Sasural in 1996. It was the first time that Govinda had chosen an anti-hero role while Karishma Kapoor chose an action-packed role, during which Govinda was briefly typed in comic roles and Karishma for glamorous roles. Govinda also wore prosthetic makeup for the first time in his career. It was released on the eve of Dusshera. Upon release, the film was an below-average grosser at the box office, but Govinda's work was mostly appreciated by the critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
