Published in MOVIE magazine, back in October 1992, the original review of the audio cassette (remember those?!) of the highly anticipated movie... Roop ki Rani Choron Ka Raja.
ROOP KI RANI CHORON KA RAJA (HMV)
Anil, Sridevi
The most commercial cassette to impinge your ears since a long time now. LP, Boney & Co. have crammed it with all the gimmicks and hooks possible. Only problem — instead of reeling you in, this constant barrage sends your head reeling.
One gimmick that does work is the pseudo Chinese concerta Chai mein hai chini that ping pongs along in its own cute way. Like chop suey mixed with chana masala, but with a flavour of its own. Dushman dil ka jo starts off well but ends up being just yet another heroine-dancing-in-the-climax song.
All in all, a lot of love has gone into the cassette and a lot of labour. Sad, it has to be love's labour lost.
The music was composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, with the lyrics being penned by Javed Akhtar.
