Rajaji
1999
3/5 stars
Rajaji (played by Govinda) is an unscrupulous, lazy wastrel who decides that he will marry a rich woman, so as not to have to work. He meets Payal (Raveena Tandon), daughter of a millionaire, and deceives her into falling in love with him. It is only after they marry, that Rajaji discovers that Payal is actually the daughter of a gardener.
(Cast also includes Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Satish Kaushik, and Aruna Irani.)
The plot of this romantic comedy/drama is predictable, but still enjoyable. The costumes are beautiful, and most of the scenes look lovely. The music is average, with the exception of the memorable " Tere Pyar Ne" which is used twice in the film. Govinda was convincing, nicely balancing between comedian and hero. He had good chemistry with Raveena Tandon, who gave an average performance. The veteran supporting cast was solid.
The problem with the movie was the last twenty minutes or so, when an unnecessary subplot emerged, creating chaos for the last scenes of the movie. The ending could have been strong, had this been absent and the emotional impact left intact. Overall, though, it's worth watching once, especially for Govinda fans.
