RAJU CHACHA
COURAGE KNOWS NO AGE
Rishi
Kapoor who played the great romantic for more than 25 years
comes back with a new image after a long gap and plays a mature
role
Courage comes in all sizes, someone said, something Veeru
Devgan’s Raju Chacha, which is due for release soon,
tries to prove to the best of its team’s abilities...
There are these three extremely adorable and much pampered
children. They live in a dream house which defies the dreams
of the richest children anywhere in the world. Their dream
home has rainbows, drive-ways, walls made of acquariums and
acres of green lawns. They have everything they can dream
of, even things beyond dreams. The only precious treasure
they don’t have is a mother. The father showers them
with an over-dose of love to keep them happy, that love leads
them to grow into spoilt brats as a result. The loving father
tries out a number of governesses to try and make up for their
mother’s loss. But the little innocent devils succeed
in throwing all of them out, making some of them even run
for their lives.
The trials and tribulations of the long series of governesses
ends with Anna (Kajol). She is a beautiful orphan herself,
whose only dream is to belong to a family. She tries changing
the devils into angels of modern times. It is a very difficult
job but Anna refuses to give up. She knows how children have
to be treated, how they have to differentiate between wrong
and right. Her job keeps growing more and more difficult as
the children grow up but she stands by her decision to change
the devils into angels, change their hell into a loving home.
Soon they have a young neighbour, Shekhar (Ajay Devgan), a
professional conman with a heart of gold. He has a side kick,
who’s forever in love with life, love and laughter. Shekhar
is in search of a pot of gold. He meets a more precious treasure,
instead — he meets Anna and falls in love with her. He
loves her with the intention of robbing the children, their
father and their dream home. He ends up hopelessly in love
with Anna. The only reason he wants to live now is to steal
Aana’s heart. Will he succeed in this most delicate mission?
How can he steal love?
Meanwhile,
there is trouble brewing around the house. A motley group
of evil men tries every mean trick to rob the family of its
treasures. They almost succeed in their wild mission. Till
the three little kids more than prove that courage comes in
all sizes, all ages. The kids fight their best to outsmart
the devils. A game of wits follows. Who will be the winner?
Who the loser?
What happens to Shekhar’s love for Anna? Well, for one
thing, it naturally changes Shekhar. If love can move mountains
what is this young conman, Shekhar, with all his cunning and
power? Ajay Devgan and Kajol come together for the first time
after they got married last year.
Producer Ajay Devgan claims it is the most expensive Hindi
film made in recent times. One set alone cost Rs five crores.
The animation shots and the special effects are comparable
and even beyond compare in some scenes, to some of the best
films made in Hollywood today.
Rishi Kapoor who played the great romantic for more than twenty-five
years comes back with a new look, a new image after a long
gap and plays a mature and major role. A meaningful film with
a message for both the young and the old. The film is sure
to set a new trend and inspire a new kind of filmmaking in
India, in Hindi films where it has been rarely tried.
The film has some very interesting aritistes playing key roles
besides Rishi, Ajay and Kajol — Pramod Moutho, Govind
Namdeo, Smita Jaykar, Shahbaaz Khan, Tiku Talsania, Adi Irani
and four brilliant child artistes, Harsh Lunia, Manshuk Vaidya,
Sakshi Sen and Kewal Chadda. They help in making the story
exciting, entertaining, enlightening and even experimental.
The film presented by Bharat Shah together with Veeru Devgan
is produced by Ajay Devgan, who makes his debut and directed
by brother Anil Devgan, who also makes his debut. Kumar Mangat
is the executive producer. Story by Anees Bazmi, screenplay
by Robin Bhatt, dialogue by Javed Siddiqi, choreography by
Raju Khan and cinematography by Nirmal Jani are other major
credits.
Will the dream world, the tussle between the dreams and the
realities and the kind of courage that a film like Raju Chacha
instil inspire and turn out to be a major surpirse towards
the end of the year 2000?
