Made for Rs 3 crore, this film gave Madhuri Dixit, Dimple Kapadia’s careers new heights, script written in only 15 days, became cult classic, earned Rs…, lead actors are…

Often when Bollywood films are being written, directors and writers take a lot of time and effort. One of the biggest reasons for a movie to be a hit is a strong storyline, and this happens when the script is engaging enough. However, what if we tell you that a script was written in just 15 days and while makers had no hope of the movie performing on the big screen, this film became a huge hit?

Yes, this may sound mind-boggling, but this is the reality. The movie was a huge hit and featured powerhouses of Bollywood like Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Rakhee Gulzar, and more. If you are wondering which movie we are talking about, it is the blockbuster Ram Lakhan.

Released in 1989, and directed by ace director Subhash Ghai, the movie featured Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Madhuri Dixit, and Dimple Kapadia in lead roles. Apart from these faces, the movie features late actor Amrish Puri and Satish Kaushik in key roles. Ghai is known for films such as Karz, Hero, Meri Jung, Karma, Saudagar, Khalnayak, Pardes.

According to a report by Times of India, Subhash Ghai accepted that the script of the film was written in just 15 days. He further said that he was looking for those actors who were ready to join immediately. He also mentioned that the music and script of the film were even improvised on the set itself.

Jackie, who played the lead role in the film, was initially not the first choice of Subhash Ghai. Yes, you read that correct! Instead of that, it was Sanjay Dutt. However, Subhash’s experience with Dutt in Vidhata was not very nice. Hence, the director decided to cast Jackie instead of Sanjay Dutt.

In the female casting, it was Madhuri Dixit and Dimple Kapadia. The movie gave a new direction to Madhuri’s career.

Ram Lakhan became a huge hit. It became the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 1989 and is now considered a cult classic. Made for Rs 3 crore, the movie minted Rs 18 crore.
