Many claimed the film was wrongly titled. They felt it should have been called Rani Hindustani in honour of Karisma Kapoor's brilliant new avatar.

The bushy eyebrows and raw look was replaced by a stunning new persona. Raja Hindustani gave Karisma's career a huge boost.

Aamir Khan, who was awarded a Filmfare Award for his performance, was by then disillusioned about the award ceremony. Apparently, he felt his performance in Rangeela, which released the previous year, should have won an award.

The award, however, went to SRK for DDLJ.

Since then, Aamir has not attended any award ceremony.
