Featured reviews
Raja is Indra Kumar's best film during 1990s. Madhuri is the highlight of this film. Madhuri is fantastic in this film with her impeccable comic timing and powerful dialogue delivery. I have watched this film many times only for Madhuri Dixit.
Not here to write any review, nor am sure if this movie deserves any, but man! What an astounding diva Madhuri Dixit was, back in those days!
Happen to get mesmerized watching her, every time these songs pop up in youtube. These songs frequently took place around the neighborhood, in the blank backspace of birthday video cassettes, in the late nineties; and almost all the 90's kids of South Asia must have sweet memories of adolescence around these.
And after all these years, even though the eyes got matured a bit, the hearts gathered few wrinkles and aches from here and there; Madhuri hasn't lost her appeal, not even a single bit.

Indra Kumar earlier films were damn melodramatic but some had good stories like BETA(1992)
Those days films were melodramatic with too loud background music thundering, lightning Another aspect of Indra Kumar was that first half would go with light moments, song.etc mostly and the drama would take place in second half
RAJA too is one of those films The story is implausible and the first half has several stupid comic scenes and too many songs The bonding between Sanjay and Paresh is good and also the love story is okay The entire twist in the story is well handled and the conflict is well done but then the entire end is stupid with Dalip Tahil almost killing Madhuri and then suddenly Sanjay from hospital reaching to save her The last scenes are stupidity
Indra Kumar does an average job Music is hit variety, especially Ankhiya and Nazrein which were damn popular
Sanjay Kapoor has big brother Anil's hangover in acting and it shows but he is decent though too his expressions were too much in many scenes This is his only solo big hit Madhuri is as usual Amongst others Mukesh Khanna hams like no tomorrow, Dalip Tahil is as usual Paresh Rawal steals the show with a flawless performance

I just Loved This Film. This is one of the Films which can be regarded as a Commercial Women Centric Film which is very rare in Bollywood. Madhuri Dixit received the crown of the Biggest Female Superstar in Bollywood with this film.
The Film has Beautiful Melodious Songs composed by Nadeem Shravan written by Sameer and Udit and Alka singing brilliantly. Sanjay Kapoor got the First Hit of his career. He acted brilliantly. Paresh Rawal was Extra Ordinary in this Film. Mukesh Khanna, Reeta Bhaduri, Dilip Tahil and Himani Shivpuri played their parts well.
It revolves around the story of Raja (Sanjay Kapoor) and Madhu (Madhuri Dixit) separated childhood friends who met later in their youth and fell in Love. Later they come to know that they are childhood friends but their brothers are enemies and create rift between them. The Love between Raja and Madhu is so strong that despite many troubles they gets reunited again and their is Happy Ending. Madhuri Dixit's Acting was Superb, Brilliant. Her Expressions were Priceless. Her Dance was Extra Ordinary and looked so so beautiful!!! A Must Watch Film for Bollywood Lovers.

It was Madhuri Magic All the way in the Film. Madhuri was named as Female Amitabh Bachchan after the film because she literally carried the film on her shoulders and made it a Blockbuster (according to boxofficeindia.com)despite having a male newcomer. It had the masala which once used to have in Manmohan Desai and Amitabh combination and that is why probably Madhuri was being credited as Lady Amitabh.
Movie definitely had some flaws but still Madhuri Dixit's Comic timing, Sheer Beauty and Magnificent Dance made it a must watch film. Sanjay Kapoor is Decent. Paresh Rawal is excellent. Madhuri is Extra Ordinary.
The Film is Must Watch for Madhuri Dixit. Greatest Actress of Bollywood.
