In course of time, Ram Jaane (Shahrukh Khan) becomes a criminal & is jailed. Murli (Vivek Mushran) turns out to be a moral custodian of the street urchins. His 'Apna Ghar' becomes a home for the homeless. When RJ comes out of jail, Murli forcibly brings him to 'Apna Ghar', hoping that he would be able to reform him. However what cheers RJ is his proximity to Bela (Juhi Chawla) here. Though Bela is only being friendly towards him, RJ mistakes it for love, not knowing that Bela loves Murli. Murli is aware of RJ's passion for Bela so he in turn hides his feelings from her, and pretends not to love her.

The presence of RJ affects the children in a manner Murli hadn't foreseen. RJ's easy and glamourous life style is prodding the boys to follow his path. They all start imitating him. While trying to save Murli's 'Apna Ghar' from corrupt land developers, a crime is accidently committed by RJ which also involves two boys from 'Apna Ghar', and leaving one of the resident boys Poltu dead. Murli blames RJ for the tragedy and they part company. However, Murli forces Bela to continue seeing RJ as she is the only one who could reform him and induce meaning into his life. Bela can reform RJ, but for the wily ways of the villians (Gulshan Grover, Pankaj Kapoor, Punit Issar), who insinuate that Murli is responsible for training criminals in 'Apna Ghar' for RJ's gang. All the financial aid stops coming to Murli for 'Apna Ghar'. The children are starving, but then suddenly arrives a lakh of rupees cash. Murli knows from where the money has come from. He confronts RJ and finally the daggers are drawn between friends. What follows is a story of heroism and supreme sacrifice that will make Ram Jaane an unforgettable movie experience for the entire family.

Prem Chopra, Tinnu Anand, Kiran Juneja, Neelima Azim, Beena, Aashif Sheikh,

Release date : 1995
Running time : 180 min.
Language : Hindi / Urdu

Sinopsis :

Suraj (Shatrughan Sinha) and Lala (Jeetendra) were good friends before falling prey to the vicious tricks of Sundar (Tinnu Anand), so much so that Lala believes his wife is dead and Suraj is to blame for that.

They become greatest enemies and create chaos in the city by way of gang wars. Asst. Commissioner of Police (Prem Chopra ) has a criminal psychologist KD (Anupam Kher) and Shalini (Kiran Joneja) weave a plot to bring Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan), the lively and spirited son of Suraj, close to Priya (Raveena Tandon), the ever-so graceful and elegant daughter of Lala, hoping to bring the two sides together.

Needless to say that good triumphs over evil, but only after a number of out-and-out entertaining songs and dances, jestful capers, taut-action sequences, endearing romance, tongue-in-cheek dialogues with a generous sprinkle of heartwarming bihari-accented Hindi. The story is kind of related to Romeo & Juliet because of the war between families.

Namun, kepahitan tampaknya masih membayangi kehidupan Shivani. Dalam penjara wanita yang kumuh itu, banyak didatangi pejabat-pejabat yang bernafsu bejat. Mereka dengan seenaknya melampiaskan nafsunya pada wanita-wanita dalam penjara itu. Salah satu korban dari mereka adalah Nisha (Himani Shivpuri). Nisha banyak bercerita tentang kekejaman dalam penjara ini, namun suara wanita-wanita itu tidak didengarkan oleh keadilan. Sebagai pembela wanita dan jenuh dengan kelakuan lelaki bejat, Shivani berniat melaporkan pada Arjun Singh (Kiran Kumar) polisi yang menangani kasus Shivani.
          Laporan Shivani telah diketahui oleh Padma Agnihotri (Beena), inspektur penjara itu. Dengan serta merta akhirnya Padma menghajar Shivani dengan kekerasan dan membuatnya celaka. Bayi yang dikandungnya akhirnya gugur dan membuat diri Shivani tidak dapat menahan amarahnya. Dengan Bantuan Nisha dan Champa Chameli (Johhny Lever), Shivani balik menghajar inspektur polisi tersebut. Setelah menghajarnya, banyak polisi dan pejabat yang korup akhirnya sadar bahwa wanita yang berada dalam penjara pun perlu dihargai.
          Arjun Singh sebagai polisi biasa tidak bisa menolong Shivani dari jerat hukum, namun ia berusaha dengan memaparkan beberapa poin yang dapat membebaskan Shivani. Akhirnya hukum membebaskan Shivani, hal pertama yang dilakukan Shivani adalah mendatangi kakak iparnya, Mahonlal (Tinnu Anand).

Dengan mata penuh dendam, Shivani membunuh kakak iparnya yang gila harta. Kemudian Shivani melarikan diri menuju sebuah desa dan mencoba menenangkan diri.

Untuk berbicara pun Vijay kesulitan, Shivani pun tidak tega untuk membunuhnya.
          Dalam hati Shivani bermaksud mengobati dan membuat Vijay seperti semula, dengan kasih sayang dan penuh perhatian Shivani menyembuhkan Vijay. Melihat seorang yang dicintainya ada di depan mata, Vijay berangsur-angsur pulih. Seperti harapan Vijay selama ini yang selalu menunggu Shivani mengatakan “I Love You” akhirnya didengarkannya. Kesembuhan Vijay membuat Shivani merasa lega dan Vijay pun kembali meminta Shivani untuk menikahinya. Shivani pun menyetujui hal itu, namun hanya dibibir saja. Ketika Vijay terbuai dalam pelukan Shivani, pisau tajam telah menusuk perutnya. Vijay pun terluka dan akhirnya Shivani membuka kedoknya. Selama ini ia berbuat baik hanyalah rencananya untuk membunuh Vijay dalam keadaan normal. Karena selama ini perbuatan yang Vijay lakukan pada kehidupan Shivani telah merasuk di dalam kehidupannya.

1993 - BAAZIGAR



         Baazigar film yang berdiri pada bendera perusahaan Eros Labs ini disutradarai oleh Abbas Mutan. Film yang bergenre pembunuhan, drama, dan percintaan yang menyedihkan ini diambil dari kisah novel Hollywood berjudul, A Kiss Before Dying. Novel karya Ira Levin tersebut, tampaknya menarik perhatian Robin Bhat, Akash Khurana, dan Javed Siddiqui untuk menuliskan skenarionya. Baazigar yang mendapat sentuhan musik dari musisi besar Bollywood, Anu Malik, menambah nilai plus pada film tersebut.
         Selain menampilkan Shahrukh Khan (Ajay Sharma/Vicky Maholtra) sebagai aktor utamanya, Ganesh Kain sang produser juga menggandeng aktris terlaris Bollywood saat ini, Kajol (Priya Chopra). Didukung pula oleh aktor seksi Bollywood Shilpa Shetty (Seema Chopra). Meskipun film Baazigar sudah berusia 14 tahun, namun karisma dari film tersebut dapat menggugah penontonnya untuk tetap setia mengikuti alur ceritanya.
          Baazigar menceritakan seorang Ajay Sharma yang mempunyai dendam pada masa lalunya yang telah kembali untuk menuntut balas pada orang yang menghancurkan keluarganya. Madan Chopra (Dalip Tahil) seorang yang menghancurkan kehidupan keluarganya memiliki dua orang putri, Seema dan Priya. Sebagai taktik untuk mendekati keluarga Chopra, Ajay menyamar sebagai kekasih Seema. Tidak menyangka dalam hati Ajay terdapat niat jahat, Seema mempercayai Ajay. Ketika cinta itu tumbuh mekar, Ajay malah menyingkirkan Seema dengan membunuhnya. Usai sudah tugas pertama Ajay menyingkirkan salah satu keluarga Chopra. Tampaknya Ajay belum puas dengan dendamnya, ketika melihat Priya, Ajay yang menyamar sebagai Vicky Maholtra malah berbalik mencintainya.
           Mengingat rasa cinta pada Priya sama besarnya dengan dendam yang selama ini di tanggung oleh ibu Ajay (Rakhee), sebagai seorang anak Ajay tidak mampu memilih cintanya. Akhirnya, Ajay lebih memilih membunuh Madan Chopra yang mengakibatkan dirinya terluka parah dan diakhir cerita Ajay meninggal dalam pelukan sang ibu.
            Adegan demi adegan yang berjalan sesuai dengan plot yang enak diikuti membuat Baazigar menjadi film sepanjang masa yang layak tonton kapanpun. Film ini juga mendapat penghargaan Filmfare Award kategori Best Actor (Shahrukh Khan), Best Male Playback Singer (Kumar Sanu), Best Musik Direction (Anu Malik), dan Best Screenplay Award.
