König der Herzen

This must be a joke... Just to make it clear, this is definitely a nice film, and has some very nice songs. But it is just one of those ordinary B-grade films with good-looking actors and great costumes, which lack real story lines. So how exactly did this film win the Best Film Award? Shocking, and simultaneously laughable!

Aamir and Karisma did pretty well and Karisma's flashy outfits added some value, but these two did not deserve the Best Actor/Actress awards for this film by any means whatsoever, especially considering the brilliant Nana Patekar and Manisha Koirala, who gave sterling performances in that same year's gem Khamoshi: The Musical, which was the most deserving film to win the Best Film award. This was possibly the most pathetic year in the history of Filmfare and any Bollywood award. It's so sad.

The film disappoints big time. It's boring at times, too melodramatic at others. And it's not that I expected to see a masterpiece from Dharmesh Darshan, but you would expect to see a representative of Bollywood's best commercial flicks. It's not even close, and the biggest proof to that is that today nobody really remembers Raja Hindustani as such. We remember Dilwale, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, but this film sucks in comparison.

Watch it if you want to have some nice time, but don't expect to see an unforgettable, amazingly special film, or even a particularly good film, because your expectations will be disproved.

One thing that lingers about this movie is the music, which is innately Indian and the melody is reminiscent of the yester-year Music Makers. Aamir khan who is one of the better actors and Karishma who is easy on the eyes unlike her sister, also happens to be a good actress. There is the usual cast of "Appetisers-side dishes" including Johhny lever, who has better talent doing Bhangra than comedy. This actor has talent with mimicry and impersonation but is a annoying comedian. The Story is a typical Bollywood, where the girl meets a poor boy whose habitation almost always happens to be tourist spot that good looking Rich girls happen to visit. They are invariably are snobbish or the Script writers make them that way till the 23rd reel of the movie to make way for the musical numbers-which just happens to be pure treat.

This has got to be one of the greatest Indian movies you will ever see. Yes, some of the acting is over the top, the first 15 minutes of the film drag before the story kicks in and sure, some points are laboured for Western audiences. However, petty criticisms aside, I keep coming back to this flick year after year as my all time favourite Hindi language film (after Khuda Gawah perhaps). Karishma Kapoor in particular is a real treat to watch - beautiful and intelligent, and above all a very talented and convincing actress. I am genuinely curious that such a breathtakingly gorgeous lady did not make an effort to enter Hollywood or the English language movies at all. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the movie is the fantastic music. Catchy and hypnotic to the point where you cannot really ever forget the main motifs and themes. I can guarantee that even if you don't like the film that much the song & dance numbers will either enchant or entrance. You will never in your lifetime forget the gypsy dance number. Forget the art house stuff and enjoy pure Bollywood at its best.

A classic Bollywood film from 1996 that's still a fan favorite today. This movie features Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor in lead roles, and their on-screen chemistry is electric.

The story follows Raja, a charming yet rough-around-the-edges taxi driver, who falls head over heels for the sophisticated and wealthy Aarti. Their romance faces hurdles due to class differences and family pressures, but let's be real-the emotional rollercoaster is what keeps you glued to the screen. The music is fantastic, with catchy tracks like Pehla Nasha that you'll find yourself humming long after the credits roll. Aamir completely nails the role of the lovable underdog, while Karisma brings a certain grace that balances his energy perfectly.

But the movie is not without its' flaws, like the predictable plot and overly nonsensical storyline. Some scenes also feel a bit stretched. It's not a perfect movie, but it has an undeniable charm.

Raja Hindustani is one of the best film that Aamir Khan has played in. The film offers very good music, acting and good chemistry. The film has good plot but that could be better and some of the scene needs to be improved. I liked Uddit Narayan's voice on the film (well done for that). The film is like old 80s - 90s romance film. And the film was some good jokes filled in.

But the film is worth of while with Aaamir Kahn and Karisma Kapoor chemistry. would recommend it to watch it once.
