Storyline

Young Bheema is told by his father, Dinu, that generations of their family have always been slaves to the wealthy Thakurs. When Bheema does not heed this, and not only befriends Sonam, Thakur Daulat Singh's daughter, but also has a physical altercation with Raja Bahadur, Thakur's son, he is publicly whipped. Shortly thereafter his dad passes away after being bitten by a snake. Daulat finds out that Sonam likes Bheema and has her moved to London, and ensures that she forgets him. Subsequently, on her return as an adult she returns home and is told that Bheema is serving 3 years in prison for killing a male named Shamsher Singh. Nevertheless, she renews her friendship with him but will soon find him on the run from the Police - this time for killing a union leader named Kumar.

User Reviews

Mithun is the sole saving grace...

1989 flick 'Aakhri Gulam' is a typical 80's action flick. Everything is normal, usual 80's mas-ala. Aakhri Gulam anyway wasn't a huge money maker during its release, and that fact speaks about it all the way. The film is strictly average, routine 80's Hindi film.

Pluses: Mithun, Mithun, Mithun. His performance and screen presence work big time. Minus Mithun, there's nothing great in here. Sonam looks hot.

Minuses: Stale script, weak music. Anupam Kher, Raj Tilak, Anu Kapoor, Raj Babbar, Maushami Chatterjee deliver okay performances. Shakti Kapoor is unintentionally funny.

'Aakhri Gulam' is no bad movie, but nether great.
