Do not get mislead by those nostalgic fans of Bollywood who refer to 90''s Bollywood as some sort of golden age. 90's Bollywood was abysmal fare and Raja Hindustani typifies how bad it was. Low budget, amateur, formulaic, melodramatic, artless, badly directed, loud, badly acted, bad writing, slapstick. It pains me to admit but RH is Best film material of 90's Bollywood, having won 9 awards for god awful acting. Johnny liver won for acting in a comic role playing the parody of a Punjabi sardar, supported by two jokers playing the parody of a gay man and a tomboy who pass of cheap slapstick as comedy. Karisma Kapoor won best actress for an extremely loud performance and awful acting. Her melodramatic scenes are loud and her attempts at looking beautiful and cute are borderline porn movie standard. There is not an ounce of subtlety or art, every actor is loud, shouts and screams. The characters are one dimensional, unrealistic and seem like they are written by a village bumkin. It's like every character is a parody, but what is sad this is not satire, it is suppose to be serious. Production values are awful, camera work is shaky, colour and print are cheap, lighting is worse than a wedding video, sound effects are poorly dubbed. <br/><br/>In general this is a terrible and amateur production. The only respites are Aamir Khan who is able to give life to an otherwise stupid character and the songs are melodious and iconic.<br/><br/>The standards of contemporary 21st century Bollywood cinema compared to 90's Bollywood is literally a quantum jump. One thing that lingers about this movie is the music, which is innately Indian and the melody is reminiscent of the yester-year Music Makers. Aamir khan who is one of the better actors and Karishma who is easy on the eyes unlike her sister, also happens to be a good actress. There is the usual cast of "Appetisers-side dishes" including Johhny lever, who has better talent doing Bhangra than comedy. This actor has talent with mimicry and impersonation but is a annoying comedian. The Story is a typical Bollywood, where the girl meets a poor boy whose habitation almost always happens to be tourist spot that good looking Rich girls happen to visit. They are invariably are snobbish or the Script writers make them that way till the 23rd reel of the movie to make way for the musical numbers-which just happens to be pure treat.
