Govinda, Aarti Chhabria in Raja BhaiyaThe latest Govinda movie makes you ponder, muse.

Is this a movie or the assorted hallucinations of a tortured mind?

Are the female actors (except the hero's love interest) borrowed from some C-grade horror film?

Were male actors told that Raja Bhaiya is not a movie but a tacky television serial in which they have to go through equally tacky stereotypical moves?

Were the mismatched wardrobes of all characters created from clothes gathered by selling utensils to the kabadiwala

Did the director ask everyone to shout their dialogues so that nobody in the cinema hall would be able to shut their eyes for even a moment?

Raja Bhaiya also decides to educate you about India.

Like, India is so small, that if your car falls down the hills of Ooty in south India, you resurface in Shaharanpur in north India.

Like, India has an inter-state public transport system that links Uttar Pradesh to Bihar.

Like, a rustic (Govinda) from the Hindi heartland can speak Bengali like a native if need be.

Like, girls in Uttar Pradesh wear skimpy dresses, chase guys and are encouraged do so by their own brothers.

Like, amnesia can be cured by giving the patient a hard slap!

To suffer all this and some more. watch Raja Bhaiya.
