I remember watching this film in the theatres and coming out confused whether I liked the film or not.
There were good points and bad points in the film.
Good: Finally Karishma Kapoor has transformed from a childish and annoying girl from prem qaidi(debut film) to Sapoot(last film before Raja Hindustani) to a very beautiful and mature women. She moved away from those pink flowery frocks to stylish dresses and sari's.
The songs were fantastic and very catchy, especially "Pardesi, Pardesi".
The kiss – Although the kiss has been tried before in Vardi(Madhuri and Jackie) and Dayavan(Madhuri and Vinod), this one is something special.
Bad: The story is the same old rich boy/girl falls in love with poor girl/boy and rich family is against and conspire to separate them, etc, etc, etc.
I didn't feel any chemistry between Raja and Aarti and the story moved quickly to them getting married. It was obvious to see that Raja adored Aarti, but she thought of him as a very close friend and there was no indication that she loves him until they kiss.
I'm a huge fan of Aamir Khan, however, I don't believe this film did anything for him, like his earlier films such as Baazi, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander and Rangeela.All in all I will have to say you watch this film for the music and Karishma Kapoor only, nothing else.
