4.0 out of 5 stars Conniving uncle, wicked stepmother and love across the social class divide, January 21, 2009

This review is from: Raja Hindustani (DVD)

This movie is about a conniving uncle, wicked stepmother, misunderstandings through deception and love across the social class divide... and a proud headstrong lover who is his own worst enemy.

Here we have all the ingredients of Bollywood romance and melodrama. You are carried by the romance and your emotions manipulated by the deceptions. In short this is the sort of story Bollywood loves and does well. It is part fairy tale and part morality play.

There is also the fight scene (Aamir seems to have done few movies without one!)

Aamir Khan is a handsome youth in this movie (it was in the late 90s). He is not just a pretty face and a scene stealer but a fine actor. The movie is almost worth watching just for him.

Karisma Kapoor is also very good, as are the supports - though wicked uncle and stepmother are very much characatures. The chemistry between the lovers is good too.

There is some good music of the more sweeping haunting variety rather than Bhangra upbeat. Also a few good dance sequences.

This movie is a little dated in the film quality etc but as much of it is spent in beautiful mountain scenery in traditional clothes that are timeless it has stood the test of time well- and still seems to be loved by many.

If you love romance or classic Bollywood this is definitely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest Bollywood films you will ever see., May 4, 2011

This review is from: Raja Hindustani (1996) (Aamir Khan - Hindi Film / Bollywood Movie / Indian Cinema DVD) (DVD)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this movie!, July 26, 2011

This review is from: Raja Hindustani (DVD)

Truly was enjoyable and as always Aamir Khan does a fantastic job portraying his character. Karishma Kapoor is beautiful and the kissing scene took my breath away. I'd read an Indian article which had movie goers rate the best movie kissing scenes and this was voted the best. Besides being a huge Aamir Khan fan, it was the main reason I had to buy the movie. Hollywood could re-learn a thing about the kissing scenes in movies nowadays!
