well, bad - her dialogue delivery is pretty effective. She may not be outstanding or something, but she is compelling and reasonably good-looking, and even though her diction at that point of time was. This reminds me a bit of Madhuri Dixit's role in Beta, and although Mukherjee is nowhere close to being as great as Dixit was in this film, she gives quite an impressive debut performance. She fights everyone who wants to hurt her, she fights any kind of injustice. Her Mala's management in a house where nobody wants her, is fantastic. She gets magnificent lines to say, especially in court. Rani gets a fantastic role to play, a strong, decisive and very intelligent young woman who is ready to fight the entire world to prove her innocence and her righteousness. The entire story only got increasingly engaging and the court scenes, inspite of having little to do with reality, were just superb. And then the real story and romance begin. She takes him to court and, after many complications, he is forced to marry her. And to prove the opposite, he rapes her in front of all her students the following day. The film shows how she incidentally confronts a young, arrogant and rich guy, and when he insults her brutally, she slaps him and calls him an impotent in public. This is the story of a smart, intelligent and headstrong girl named Mala who was adopted by a poor man and now works as a teacher. However, in terms of storytelling, Raja Ki Ayegi Baraat works well, and I was surprised and even charmed by a film, which despite being quite melodramatic, is quite enjoyable, by well-written dialogues and by a story which unfolds quite interestingly. From the technical aspect, this film is indeed a complete disaster, the cinematography is terrible, the sound is worse, and the film is so dated that if someone would think this one is a film from the 1970s, I would not be surprised. I knew she was not a great actress at that point of time, but I still planned to watch the film just to check it out and leave it midway if necessary (which I expected). I was reluctant to see the film and watched it only because it was Rani Mukherjee's debut performance.
