Ram Lakhan is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language masala film[2] directed by Subhash Ghai and written by Anwar Khan with screenplay by Ram Kelkar.[3] Ram Lakhan stars an ensemble cast of Raakhee, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Madhuri Dixit and Amrish Puri in lead roles.[4][5] The supporting cast includes Paresh Rawal, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, Saeed Jaffrey and Satish Kaushik.[6] Music of the film was by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, while Anand Bakshi penned the lyrics.[7] Ghai also did a special appearance in the song "Tera Naam Liya Tujhe Yaad Kiya".[8]
Made on a budget of ₹28.3 million (US$340,000) including production and marketing costs, Ram Lakhan was released theatrically on 27 January 1989 on the Republic Day weekend.[9] The film emerged as a major critical and commercial success and earned ₹180 million (US$2.2 million) worldwide, becoming the second highest grossing Bollywood film of 1989.[10] Considered as Ghai's best work till date, Ram Lakhan has attained a cult classic status over the years and is still remembered for its cast, direction and soundtrack.[11] Kapoor's performance as Lakhan was much loved and is regarded as one of his best roles; the song "My Name Is Lakhan" filmed on him has become his trademark and signature song.[12]
At the 35th Filmfare Awards, Ram Lakhan received 9 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Ghai) and Best Music Director (Laxmikant–Pyarelal), and won 2 awards – Best Supporting Actress (Raakhee) and Best Comedian (for both Kher and Kaushik).[13][14]
