All those who are sick and tired of the tepid Nora Ephron type of romantic comedies' that Hollywood keeps churning out, need to see Raja Hindustani. This is a movie not afraid of great feelings and great gestures, a movie not about love and romance, but about Love and Romance.
Objectively speaking it may be full of flaws, from the clumsy directing to the nauseating overacting of the comic-relief characters, but the romance between Raja (Aamir Khan) and Aarti (Karisma Kapoor, Raj's grand-daughter) engrossed me in a way few other cinematic romances ever have and while the movie concludes with what must be the corniest scene imaginable, I must confess I was moved. It may be a bad film, but it's one hell of a great movie.
