Raja Hindustani (1996)

I liked this movie a lot.I know i made an another but i want to restart.I want to start with negative ones.The comedy was annoying.Veeru,Navneet,Johnny,The kid,Aamir(In a few scenes)were irritating and could have been cut.before the scenes where Karishma scolds Aamir for beating up those guys for criticizing her till that scenes the movie dragged.The very handsome Mohnish Behl is hardly there and could have been deleted.Karishma is less annoying than usual(Meaning she acted immature 2 scenes).Now the good points.Karishma is an actress who i don't appreciate(Except for sexy looks).I say she is overrated.In this movie she gives an amazing performance.The only good performance of her.She sucks big time.Aamir gives an amazing performance too.Archana who has a lot of negative shades in her role does a great job.Others are great too except Veeru,Navneet and Johnny and the kid.Direction is brilliant in a lot of parts.The music ,I LOVED IT.A fabulous musical score.Cinematography is excellent but it gets sloppy in a few scenes.Script is excellent.Pardesi song was a key part in the movie i\which showed the feelings very well."Kitna Pyaara","Aye Ho Mera Zindagi""Pucho Zara Pucho "brings in the feel good mood of the movie.THE MOVIE IS A WATCH.But make sure do fast forward the comedy ones they are annoying and unfunny

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.

A weird same old stories. When will bollywood learn to change their minds. They make millions of movies on same topic. Same old type story a rich girl loves the poor chap. Or they will switch rich boy falls in love with poor girl. Same old stories told again and again. Rich girl played by Karisma Kapoor and poor chap played by Aamir Khan. As always they create situations how a rich girl meets the poor guy and always opposite attracts. The situations are created and they will fall in love and then the parent of rich girl doesn't agree. Always rich parent doesn't agree one person goes ahead and marries that person then what more a step mother, step uncle play tricks. Same junk old stories. Suneel Darshan probably had earned money from that film but its a stupid movie. As far as performance its brilliant by Amir, Karisma and Archana. Nadeem Sharwan music is brilliant. I watched the film just for its hit music. Otherwise its just waste of money. Same old stories retold but they just make different situations and at end happy climax as always. I would give Amir 5 out of 10 and Karisma 6 out of 10. Music is 8 out of 10. story wise its 0 out of 10. Same old based stories. Singers had done their job fine. All movie is just waste of time and if you are fan of Aamir then watch him in Andaz apna apna and sweet karishma in that film. She changed her name so she could get more. Weird people. Watch it if you like bollywood music and dances that sit. darshans makes movies so people can dance only.

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.
