Ram Lakhan is a masala action film directed by Subhash Ghai. The film stars an ensemble cast of Raakhee, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Madhuri Dixit, Late Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Late Saeed Jaffrey, Raza Murad, Annu Kapoor and Satish Kaushik.
Ram an honest police officer and Lakhan a vagabond who joins police department to earn black money vengeance against the killers of their father.
This is what you called a typical masala film, the film is filled with some of the memorable songs, rib tickling comedy, great action and some of the iconic dialogues.
The film with a very predictable revenge drama storyline is been executed very nicely by one of the greatest showman Subhash Ghai.
Acting is superb and Rakhee was very meticulous in her character of a revenge hungry widow mother, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor were so perfect in their character that it seems that the roles were tailor made for them, Late Amrish Puri was a synonym in that era when it's comes to play a negative role and was amazing, Gulshan Grover, Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor and Satish Kaushik all bunch of talent were also impactful, Dimple Kapadia and Madhuri Dixit looked beautiful and were impressive in their limited screen space.
Screenplay is good and the comic and humor in between will not let you bore despite the length of the film, the editing could've been little more refined. Music by the legends Late Laxmikant Shantaram Kudalkar and Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma were chartbusters and were a rage upon it's release particularly 'My name is Lakhan', 'Tera Naam Liya' and 'Mere do anmol ratan'.
A must watch entertaining masala film which will give a nostalgic feeling to every Hindi film lover.
