Ram Lakhan Facts: The superhit movie 'Ram Lakhan' which was released in the year 1989, was considered the second highest-grossing film of that year. The director of this film is Subhash Ghai. The film starred Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia in the lead roles. The storyline of the film, dialogues and songs became quite popular among the audience. Considering the popularity of this film, a lot of efforts are being made to remake it, but nothing has been finalized yet. By the way, let us tell you an interesting thing about how Subhash Ghai came up with the idea of this film.
It so happened that in 1988, Bollywood's well-known writer Salim Khan wrote a film called ‘Falak’, which was directed by Shashilal K Nair. Jackie Shroff and Shekhar Kapoor played the role of brothers in this movie where the latter played the character of a cop. The story of the film was about two brothers who take revenge for their father's death. Salim Khan had held a special screening of the film in Mumbai and many people from the industry watched the movie. While many appreciated the movie for its power-packed dialogues, some found its pace too slow. Subhash Ghai was also a part of the screening and was then riding high in the success of his films like ‘Karz’, ‘Vidhaata’, ‘Hero’ and ‘Karma’.
Ghai was bowled over by the concept of the film and decided to meet Salim Khan to inform him that he will be making a commercial version of ‘Falak’ based on the latter’s script. He felt that the screenplay was too dull. Salim Khan did not object to this and exactly a year later Subhash Ghai presented ‘Ram Lakhan’ which was the story of two brothers. In the film, the elder brother is a policeman and both the brothers take revenge for the death of their father. ‘Ram Lakhan’ was released in 1989 and the rest is history.
Well, it is rightly said that a single story can have different interpretations. The approach varies from person to person.
