Madhuri Dixit celebrates ‘Silver Jubilee’ of ‘Golden Jubilee’ hit “Raja”

On 2nd June 1995 ‘Raja’ released, and well, history was created. Director Indra Kumar helmed the cult entertainer which had the powerful combination of direction by hit filmmaker Indra Kumar, acting and dancing queen of 90’s, Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor, who was launched earlier in Prem to further brother Anil Kapoor’s legacy and blockbuster songs. Produced by Ashok Thakeria and Indra Kumar the film took a massive start all over the country and not only did it recover its money in the first week itself, but the hardcore commercial romantic musical entertainer went on to collect five times its first week numbers, emerging as a bonafide blockbuster.

Celebrating 25 years today, Madhuri Dixit has put a special throwback picture on her Twitter, also sharing an image of the time when they celebrated the Golden Jubilee at Box Office for the film, with Ajay Devgn as the Chief Guest. Yes the film ran for 50 straight weeks at the Box Office, a feat still very rare today, which was an even bigger achievement at that time. Madhuri posted fond memories of the film on her social handles.

With chartbuster tracks like ‘Akhiyan Milaoon Kabhi’ and ‘Nazrein Mili’ still popular even today, Raja is one of Bollywood’s most loved movies, which celebrates 25 years today. Now this is what you call a timeless eternal and evergreen movie because it completed Golden Jubilee then, i.e. the movie ran for 50 weeks at a strech at theatres.
