'Raju Chacha': A budgetless extravaganza from Devgans
Successful architect Siddhant Rai (Rishi Kapoor) is in the midst of an important meeting when he is informed that his three naughty motherless kids have driven away the tenth governess. It is a big relief to Rai when Anna (Kajol), the eleventh governess successfully handles the kids and wins them over. She is affectionate, yet strict.
The twist in the story comes when Siddhant Rai's enemies in the form of his relatives come up with vicious designs to do away with Rai, also an inheritor of huge wealth, and his children to amass the fortunes. Here enters 'Raju Chacha' (Ajay Devgan), a small-time thief, whose eyes chance upon Anna at a road crossing when he is fleeing after a bank robbery. It is love at first sight and the chor enters the billionaire's house posing as a millionaire.
'Raju' is excited at the prospect of the booty he could loot from Rai's mansion and continues fooling everybody around him including Anna. The thief has a change of heart when he sees the kids in peril at the hands of the scheming relatives. The climax has 'Raju' being arrested by the police, billionaire Rai dying and 'Raju' escaping from police clutches to save the kids and Anna.
Bollywood has comfortably settled down to pre-release mega hypes. Raju Chacha is no exception. Whether the film, like several of its predecessors falls flat on all the hype of a budgetless Devgan extravaganza or springs a surprise to be worth the hype only time can tell. The film, as it is, comes with the advantage of being Kajol's comeback vehicle.
