Raja Hindustani

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

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.

This movie doesn't have any proper story to tell. A rich girl gets attracted to a taxi driver leaving all her comfort and easy money? In real life, this can never happen. In the movie, the leads fall in love, marry, fight and unite. The plot is as old as hills. Comedy is garbage and action is over the top.

Only positive point of the movie is the chartbusters and timeless music from Nadeem Shravan and lyrics from Sameer. The movie created hype and succeeded because of music only.

Amir khan and Karishma Kapoor got Filmfare best actors awards which again proves the credibility of Filmfare awards. Also, the same Amir khan got angry when he didn't get award for Rangeela but didn't say anything against Filmfare when he got it for this crap movie.

Dharmesh Darshan hasn't given any good movie in his career. Dhadkan also worked because of music only.

Overall, this is a crap movie that can be ignored. Songs can be watched or heard again and again though. My entire rating is for the songs only. Nothing else deserves any rating

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.

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.
