==Synopsis==
Ghulam means a slave. Sidharth ([[Aamir Khan]]) is an amateur boxer who does not work, preferring to loaf about with friends. His older brother Jai (Rajit Kapoor) works with a gangster who rules the neighborhood, terrorising merchants and demanding protection money. As a child Sidharth idolized his father, an ex-freedom fighter, whom he saw committing suicide in guilt after a visit from an old acquaintance. Sidharth meets a girl, Alisha ([[Rani Mukerji]]), who rides with a motorcycle gang, and Hari, a social worker. The film tells the story of Sidharth's romance with Alisha and his reformation.

==Trivia==
*[[Rani Mukerji]] became known as the "Khandala Girl" after the hit song "[[Aati Kya Khandala]]". [http://www.rediff.com/entertai/1998/jul/15rani.htm]
* This was the only movie in which Rani Mukerji's voice was dubbed. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}
* Rani Mukerji's role was first offered to [[Pooja Bhatt]].[http://members.aol.com/shridj/bollywood/top1998.html]
* Adapted from Marlon Brando starrer [[On the Waterfront]].
* A sequence in the film shows [[Aamir Khan]] running on rail tracks towards an oncoming train, which misses him by a few feet as he jumps off the tracks. 1.3 seconds was the only difference between Aamir and the train. This stunt was actually performed, and by Aamir himself. It won him the Best Stunt award, but he later criticized himself for taking such an unnecessary risk.
