Dulhe Raja Trailers

Poor Raja opens a fast foot restaurant right opposite a five star hotel run by its owner Singhania, earning his wrath. The wealthy hotel owner uses all his influence to remove Raja, but in vain. Things get worse for the wealthy man, when his daughter Kiran wants to marry the poor hotelier. The wealthy man refuses, leading to a confrontation and a condition - which Raja fulfills, he becomes rich virtually overnight, and proposes for the hand of Kiran. The wealthy hotelier reluctantly accepts him as his son-in-law, only to have Kiran elope with a man named Rahul.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Dulhe Raja is what I call Slapstick Comedy at its best. It was made at a time when Govinda was at his peak and the man could make you laugh doing anything on screen.There is no story. Its just a string of sequences pulled together with Govinda being the glue that holds the movie the together. The movie has poor production values and technically no where near the movies made by the Johars and Chopras. But its entertaining which matters the most.Why I watch this film because it makes me laugh each time I watch it. The music is good especially the song 'Akhiyon se Goli Maare'. Also, its a very clean film. You can easily watch this film with a 5 year old and bet he/she will also enjoy without feeling embarrassed. Pure Govinda magic.Supporting Govinda in his madness are Kader Khan and Johnny Lever. When Govinda is not on screen, these two gentleman do more than enough to keep u smiling till Govinda is back. And when the three get together in the climax along with Prem Chopra, its a blast.Some people will call this movie silly. It is but thats the point. Dulhe Raja is a silly film but an entertaining one. Just watch it for Govinda.

Harmesh Malhotra's 'Dulhe Raja' is interesting & funny in bits and pieces, but it's the Winning Performances That Make This Comedy Memorable! The film has some good jokes, that sound even better, thanks to it's talented cast, of whom all, are blessed with impeccable comic timing.'Dulhe Raja' is about Raja, a poor man, played superbly by Govinda, who opens a fast food restaurant right opposite a five star hotel run by its owner Singhania, played hilariously by Kader Khan, and thus begins to earn his wrath. The wealthy hotel owner then uses all his influence to remove Raja, but in vain. Things get worse for the wealthy man, when his daughter Kiran, played by Raveena Tandon, decides to marry the poor hotelier.The Chemistry Between Screen-Rivals Govinda & Kader Khan, is simply flawless. In fact, their portions are truly funny and leave a lasting impression. 'Dulhe Raja' has an interesting first hour, that truly entertains, but, the film loses pace in the second hour, thanks to the weak writing material, that even tends to drag. However, the culmination, though very silly, comes up well. Harmesh Malhotra's Direction is passable. The Soundtrack is nice, while the dialogue are hilarious at times.Performance-Wise: 'Dulhe Raja' works mainly because of it's winning performances. Govinda & Kader Khan, as mentioned, share a flawless chemistry on screen. The Supremely Talented Actors deliver performances, that truly rank amongst their finest works. Johny Lever is another topper. He manages to deliver a lot of laughs in the goings-on. Raveena Tandon is adequate. Asrani does well. Prem Chopra & Mohnish Behl play the bad guys, fairly.On the whole, 'Dulhe Raja' isn't as funny as expected, but yet it deserves a watch for the winning performances it has in store.

Good movie, hit music, and laughable gags. As usual, not for the highbrow, but for someone who simply wants laughs. Govinda is good Kader Khan does well too

I saw this movie and in between there were parts in which I wanted to quit. It was an entertainer for the indian masses, but not a considerably good choice for the people who like descent movies. Comedy, action, drama, and romance. A usual combination used in almost all movies. Ok. 5/10
