How did Raja Hindustani become ATBB? - Page 10

@Mr. KaminA

I acknowledged Don12's points. I gave examples of some things in Raja and Aarti's characters because other films that succeeded in that decade in this big way were like ideal stuff. It's often said people wanted to see dream-like situations back then hence success of Rajshri, YRF and Dharma films were explained.

Raja Hindustani is not in that ideal mould.

So I was asking if people liked it for opposite reason then? For being relatable in real life? (because as you rightly said every marriage has problems)

Akele mein kiss scene - you made the point yourself! When it is being said that families watched it in hordes, then how come families were okay with kissing scene or delighted by its prospects? Akele mein dekhna hai toh families won't come or choose to rent a video, no?

Things have changed now. But I feel back then it was mainly front benchers who went wild at kissing scenes!

I've not seen it till now 😳

Yeah I was in 1991 I was a kid but I was smart enough to know most films sucked 😆 😆

RH is not remembered simply because it has not stood the test of time like HAHK, DDLJ have. HAHK, DDLJ are like 90's classics...iconic films.
No one will ever put RH in the same league...as a standalone film, it's amongst Aamir's worst...whereas HAHK, DDLJ regularly show up in Salman, SRK's best. I think even KKHH is remembered more fondly.

Actually all of Dharmesh Darshan's films were nothing less than an Ekta Kapoor show with mesmerizing songs. I have no idea how or why the films worked as much as they did. Perhaps this is why Ekta's silly soaps were enjoyed so much also (by me too).

@VictorLordJr

Stop calling its overseas gross as pathetic. We shouldn't forget that DDLJ and HAHK had huge banners like YRF and Rajshri backing it, unlike Raja Hindustani. Also the film was too desi in its flavour, lacked any gloss or grand production values to attract overseas audience.

If it made less overseas, then there are reasons for it.

I tell u a secret... now a family went to see RH, just for that scene, family feels unconfortable... but i can guarantee you that HUSBAND & YOUNG TEENAGE Boy from that family must have gone alone or with friends to see that particular wild scene 😆. Same way... while renting RH, they knew scene will come, forward it when everyone is seeing, watch it doing pause n rewind while alone 😆

Correct me if i am wrong... but YRF & RAJSHRI Productions became HUGE with MPK, HAHK & DDLJ only in Overseas... i can agree they were BIG in INDIA back then... but a GLOBAL NAME N FAME For a production house, these 3 films brought it...

Lagaan was desi, i don't see how come just RH being a desi film couldn't clicked with audience...???

Lol but you yaself hate the film 😆 😆


Actually $ 750,000 worldwide for 1996 bollywood in the era of piracy was not that bad . But it's not good compared to DDLJ HAHK MPK DTPH or KKHH

Just saying

@Mr.KaminA

LOL! That is no secret! 😆

But how did they take whole family? Didn't wives and daughters express reservations back then? Or didn't they feel odd watching such scenes with other family members in tow?

I do agree this scene must've attracted sizeable repeat watchers for this film!

because people like me rushed to cinema hall to see liplock of karishma for three ,four times😆
