I have watched the film several times so it has repeat watching value.

The movie has lots of emotion throughout.

Sehgal forgives his daughter, and invites both newlyweds to his palatial home, not knowing that his wife, her brother, Swaraj (Pramod Moutho), and her nephew Jai (Mohnish Behl) have plans for him and his daughter that will change their lives forever. Once there, she meets with less educated, more conservative (some might say chauvanistic) taxi-driver Raja Hindustani (Aamir Khan), and after a short period of time, both fall in love with each other, and get married without Aarti's father's blessings. Aarti wants to go for a vacation at a small hill station named Palankhet where her parents had met for the first time. Sehgal (Suresh Oberoi) lives with his modern daughter, Aarti (Karisma Kapoor), and her step-mother Shalini (Archana Puran Singh) in a palatial home.

I loved the soundtrack so much I bought the cd all of the songs are terrific unlike some albums where I will skip some of the tracks.īasic plot summary: Rich Mr. Tere Ishq Mein Nachenge (loosely translates to we will dance around in your love I believe) is another great tune. The song Pardesi Pardesi (Foreigner, Foreigner) became a major hit. I have read elsewhere that this song is often played at weddings in India. Aaye Ho Meri Zindagi Mein (you have come into my life) is a beautiful song done in both female and male versions in the film. The Raja Hindustani soundtrack was the best selling album the year it was released. The Raja Hindustani soundtrack often gets mentioned on lists on best Bollywood soundtracks such as Planet Bollywood's list of 100 best soundtracks.

The music is superb throughout the movie. I would have rated it five stars but I downgraded it a star because of a couple of the cheesy scenes with the comic relief squad (Johnny Lever, etc) and the overblown ending. It was a big hit when released and Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor both won acting awards for their roles. For romantics, this 1996 movie is a must see.
