Raja Jani


OK! I have heard lot of complaints for not writing reviews on the latest and greatest! But I would still request the permission to continue writing reviews on some oldies as well.



Boasting of a cast full of stars and the then hit jodi of Dharmendra and Hema Malini, this movie has nothing to proffer in any department. Apparently, a hit in its time, the movie proved to be an important milestone in Hema Malini's career.

Story: Rajmata's (Durga Khote) grand-daughter, Ratna, has been missing since the age of 12. Rajkumar Singh (Dharmendra) and Diwan Gajendra Singh (Premnath) conspire to hoodwink the Rajmata by getting an imposter to take her place. They find Shanno (Hema Malini) to do the job. Shanno agrees to do the job as she is in love with Rajkumar and hopes to change Rajkumar back to a good human, who's gone bad due to his ex-girlfriend's (Bindu) deception in love.

On finding Ratna, Rajmata is ecstatic and prepares to hand over the crown as well as the keys to a vast treasure to her. Rajmata's nephew Pratap Bahadur (Prem Chopra) wants to marry Ratna for the wealth as well.

But this is an Indian movie, so all ends well. Also, Shanno turns out be to the original Ratna. Johnny Walker is good in the role of a Dharmendra's house keeper. Nadira is wasted in a minisule role as Shanno's guardian.

Nothing more to write about this movie. The songs aren't impressive either. You can skip it, if you like.

think M Rating: 2.5/5.0
