Summary: Raja (Kapoor) supports his elder brother
Brijnath (Rawal) when the latter’s business
empire is ruined by a fire and he is crippled.
The film’s villain, Ranasaab (Khanna), had
promised his daughter Madhu (Dixit) to Raja
when Brijnath was rich, but now callously
refuses to let the young couple meet and
perpetrates all manner of evil. As adults, Raja
and Madhu meet and fall for each other again
and eventually marry while bringing the
villains to book. Dixit outperforms hero
Kapoor with numerous solo ‘highlights’ -
Manmohan Desai’s phrase for autonomous
vignettes with little relation to plot and
designed mainly to showcase the star’s
versatility - and two major song hits, Nazrein
mili and Akhiyan milao. Indra Kumar’s third
hit in a row (after Dil, 1990, and Beta, 1992)
made Dixit, by way of Hum Aapke Hain
Koun...! (1994), for a brief period into the most
valuable star in the Hindi cinema.
