Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman

I watched this movie when I didnt know who Shah Rukh was (and didnt have even remotest idea that he was going to rule the Bollywood screen soon). Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman is about a young engineer who comes to Bombay to realize his dreams of making it big. How he lands among a group of good guys living in a 'chawl' and share his happiness and sorrow with them is beautifully picturised. Nana Patekar steals the show whenever he appears on screen. One scene that really moved me comes near the end of the movie, when Shah Rukh is totally drunk (symbolically, drowned in the magic of lucre!!)and shouting at the ever-cute Juhi, and Nana carries him away from the scene. Music is good. A very good movie and very well made.

Highly Recommended....

Last year I remember watching Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman for the first time. I liked it very much but for some strange reason I seemed to enjoy it a whole lot more when I saw it the second time! RBGG is basically about Raju, (Shahrukh Khan) a young man who comes to Bombay in hopes of becoming an engineer. There he meets Renu, (Juhi Chawla) who helps him get a job and they fall in love with each other over time. Raju continues to climb the ladders of success until he is framed for the collision of a newly constructed bridge in the area. He is then taken to court where a case is filed against him. What will happen next? Watch RBGG to find out....

This film was surely a genuine treat to watch. I must say that SRK and Juhi make one of the sweetest on screen couples! I just love watching all of the films they have made together; their on-screen chemistry is just so amazing! Moving on to the music... RBGG's music was so wonderful! The best songs in the movie would have to be "Loveria" and "I Love You." Not to mention the entire cast of the film made outstanding performances! An excellent and very-well made film, but not better than Yes Boss!

Overall Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman deserves a 9/10!!!

Watched the complete movie recently & loved the simple yet engaging story. The way they covered poor & middle class section of India in 90s is commendable. It looked so real mostly because of wonderful screenplay & brilliant performances by all the actors. It's really hard to believe it was Shahrukh khan's first movie. So sad to see the industry only offered him useless rom-coms & masala movies in his following career. Juhi Chawla was natural & real & all her scenes with Shahrukh were effortless. Today's female actors need to learn real acting doesn't only mean hitting hard lines with no make-up but also look effortless in throwing simple lines. Amrita singh played her part so well & so did Nana Patekar. Music was an asset & most songs were there as per situation. Overall this movie was way better than 90s masala movies which took over later decade.

Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman is such a charming slice-of-life Bollywood film that really deserves a lot more love and recognition than it usually gets. The chemistry between Shah Rukh Khan and Juhi Chawla is, as always, incredibly delightful and effortlessly engaging. Their playful exchanges and heartfelt moments add a warmth to the story that makes you cheer for them all the way through.

The film beautifully portrays the journey of a young man trying to carve out his niche in the bustling city, juggling dreams, love, and challenges with a perfect mix of sincerity and humour. While it may not be as flashy or as widely remembered as some of SRK's other hits, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman shines for its simplicity, relatable characters, and catchy tunes.

If you're a fan of classic 90s Bollywood filled with genuine romance and lighthearted drama, this underrated gem is definitely a must-watch!
