Aa Gaya Hero is a 2017 Indian action comedy film directed by Dipankar Senapati starring Govinda in the lead role. Previously titled Abhinay Chakra, it was Govinda's comeback film.[3]
ACP Ravindra Varma (Govinda) is a daredevil and sincere police officer who has been called in to nab a dreaded terrorist (Milind Shinde). During his attempts to catch the terrorist, Ravindra Varma realises that there are two ministers (Surendra Pal and Makrand Deshpande) who work hand in glove with said terrorist.
Besides them, there are two brothers (Murali Sharma and Ashutosh Rana) who form the right hand of the two corrupt ministers. The films is about whether the righteous ACP Ravindra Varma manages to bring the crooks to book or not.
Govinda visited the BSF camp near Najafgarh, Delhi, to promote the film. He got an opportunity to have a conversation with the BSF jawans. He did a lot of activities there, from having lunch to making the jawans dance with their family members.[4] He also promoted the film on The Kapil Sharma Show, where he was joined by his wife and actor Shakti Kapoor, who was shooting nearby and decided to drop in and meet him.[5]

BookMyShow reviewed the film and wrote, "Catch the film in your nearest theatre to entertain yourself with a two-hour parody of the 90s, with signature Govinda dance moves and hilarious dialogues and action. Take along your friends to experience a laugh riot.[7] However The Times of India gave it 1.5 stars saying "Unfortunately, besides the actor's trademark dance moves, there is nothing worth watching here. The 'hero' might just need to make another comeback soon and hopefully a more 'relevant' one this time."[8]
