Shah Rukh Khan debuted from Deewana which was a hit after which he gave another hit in the name of Chamatkar. Although his next Dil Aashna Hai was a disaster, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman released after DAH and became a hit. The film was not a big hit at the box office but it wasn't any ordinary one either. This is SRK's first film after Deewana which many people liked, this was also the first film of his I liked quite a lot. Sadly, this film was criticized and some people disliked this film.
The movie's story is original and intelligent for a 90s film. The story is about Raju who moves out of his home(Darjeeling) after his graduation to become a successful engineer in Bombay. He goes to Bombay only to find out that his friend who called him to Bombay didn't come to receive him. It is then Raju goes to a shanty town and lives there, the people over there start liking him too. He also meets his first lady Renu and their love blossoms. Renu helps him get employed in a company she works in. As you know it, Raju becomes a chief engineer and the leading lady of the company falls for Raju. Suddenly, Raju is framed for killing 4 people from the death of a bridge. Did Raju drop his bridge on purpose and murder 4 innocent workers? Was Raju framed in this murder?Are the real villains his competitors(the people who despise him)? Watch RBGM to find out.
The film is well handled for the most part though a few parts of the film drag and bore yet the tempo is well maintained. The movie is well directed, well acted, and even the music is good. Thankfully, there isn't much overacting except from a few minor actors. The light and comic scenes are hilarious and fit well wit the storyline.
Direction by Aziz Mirza is fabulous, he gives SRK his first decent film after an average start with Deewana and Chamatkar. The SRK-Mirza collaboration went on to give many hits like Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Yes Boss and Chalte Chalte sadly, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani was a flop at the box office. Mirza handles the film well and balances it properly too. The comedy and the light scenes right from the start are good, the struggle for success is well shown, and even the finale is well shown too.
Action is limited and is it realistic, SRK isn't doing a Sunny Deol act where he bashes up 6 goons together. He tries to fight and run for his life and he almost dies near the ending.
Music is awesome, Malaria, Yaroon Main Toh Chala, and the rest are awesome songs, they were hits too. They are well placed and come at the right parts of the film.
Performances are decent too, SRK as Raju does a decent job, he portrays all emotions properly, he dances and fights in a realistic manner, and his dialog delivery is decent. Juhi Chawla as Renu is decent too, she and SRK made a good pair those days and contributed to many hits. Amrita Singh acts ably, she does a decent job though she overacts in a few scenes. Nana Patekar is fantastic as the good ruffian, he does his comedy properly and his dialog delivery is good. The rest provide good support, the actors have done a good job for the most part.
On the whole, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman is a good film acted by SRK and directed by Aziz Mirza. Hats of to Mirza for giving SRK a good film in his early days and kudos to SRK for terrific acting in this fantastic well handled film.
