Storyline

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, terrorizing 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.

User Reviews

GHULAM a nice film

This is the last film Aamir worked with the Bhatts but a truly good film The initial scenes are okay and the story takes a backseat after sometimes with the forced yet brilliant train scene and the entire love romance part

The film gets better when Sharat Saxena kills Akshaye Anand and then the pace gets better with Aamir becoming a rebel

The transformation of Aamir is to be seen to believe The entire last sequences though filmy are well handled

Vikram Bhatt handles the film well though it's a remake of ON THE WATERFRONT Music(Jatin-Lalit) is superb especially Aati Kya kahndala, Aankhon Se Tune,

Aamir Khan excels in the role that looks like an extension to RANGEELA yet here his character gets more intense and he delivers a wonderful performance Rani whose voice is awfully dubbed is okay Sharat Saxena is powerful as the Don While Aamir's brother too is perfect Akshay Anand leaves a mark
