Raja Hindustani

Awesome movie. Nice music. Amir khan acted beautifully.. Karishma is OK OK... All over good movie..

I saw Raja Hindustani way way back in 96 when it first came out. It was a huge blockbuster and made Karisma Kapoor a major star. The songs became imensely popular, especially Pardesi Pardesi. In my opinion the songs are the only reason the movie became such a huge blockbuster because the story is pretty appalling and clichéd. The story as it is involves Aamir Khan, a cab driver who falls in love with a rich girl who comes to stay with him. They get married but then the rich girl's parents try to cause problems in their relationship and the couple eventually split. The movie's main problem is that it can't decide whether it wants to be a remake of Jab Jab phool kile or Akele hum akele tum and it ends up as an uneasy mix of both. The movie can't even be saved by the wonderful songs. An awful awful movie and the fact that the movie did so well simply astounds me.

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.

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.

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.
