Review
Raja Hidustani takes time to get into groove.The begining does not look promising at all. It starts of with a pampered daughter(who
actually looks like a vacant eyed puppy)Arti(Karishma Kapoor)telling her doting father (Suresh Oberoi) that she would rather go to
Palan Khet(in the Himallayas) than Switzerland(How original?).
And of course you have a step-mama(Archana Puran Singh )and her bald-domed brother(Pramod Moutho) who bid their time to lay their
hands on the tycoon's loot, accompanied by yet another pair of retainers (Veeru Kishna an Navneet Nishan) who are ardent belivers in
cross-dresing. Arti goes to Palan Khet and is immediately wafted to dreamland courtesy the cutie pie taxi driver (Aamir Khan) who
moons over his Pardesi Memsaab all through the long ride,warbling his instant feelings in melodious song,peeppered by pithy comments
from his pint-sized boy-cleaner.
After some romancing the couple finnaly let the pappa know and get his blessing for their Shadhi after minor tussles.Only a fine line
seperates Raja's uncompromisig self-respect from arrogance,when rejecting his rich father-in-law's gift.He suddenly becomes
insensitive towards Arti's feelings (?) and hence results the marital tensions. Finally all goes well in the end but not before you o
through the usual climax of dushkum-dushkum's and playing catch-catch with Arti and Raja's baby.
It is after all a regular Hindi-movie where the audience know what to expect from the next scean-Nothing new. Music is good.
Photography is good. All-in-all watchable for time-passers
