This is about a poor, high principled, recent engineering graduate from Darjeeling, called Raj (Shahrukh Khan), who moves to Bombay to become rich and successful. He meets the love of his life (Juhi Chalwa) and starts making his way. Forces start opposing his rise and he is forced to look at whether he can maintain his principles in the realities of Bombay's business world.

From 1992 it is looking a little dated. The songs and dances are fine but none particularly stand out. However all the acting is solid and SRK & Juhi are in the early stages of the great paring they continued with in other movies. There is good chemistry and they both are very watchable. SRK plays it straight and does both the conflicted aspirant and person of principles very well - as he later did in many other movies too!

Elsewhere on the Net it tends to score above average and that's where I'd put it too.

This is decent entertaining Bollywood and worth a watch.

Raju is a wonderful film with a good story line and talented actors like Shah Rukh, Juhi and Nana. The movie is entertaining, heart warming and a must see. Shah Rukh in one of his earliest movie roles is at his best like usual! Songs are nice and you will enjoy this one!
