Ram Jaane (1995) on Netflix

Plot summary

A nameless boy, who was abandoned at a very young age by his parents, faces taunts from the other children in his village for not having a name. He is referred to as "Footpath" and he earns a living by doing odd jobs around the slum. One day, he sadly asks a priest what his name is, to which the priest answers "Ram Jaane" (Ram knows), which the boy accepts as his name. Ram Jaane has a crush on schoolgirl Bela, but she dislikes him as Ram Jaane is a goon and a good for nothing. Ram Jaane's friend Murli also has feelings for Bela, but Ram Jaane threatens him that Bela only belongs to him.

Ram Jaane and his friend Murli (Vivek Mushran) are caught stealing from a train by a corrupt police officer, Chewte (Puneet Issar). Chewte brutally beats Ram Jaane in jail, but Ram Jaane manages to escape from the remand home. Murli tells Ram that Bela has been sent to boarding school by her uncle Daddu (Deven Verma) and he plans to marry her off to a rich guy at the right age. Murli also says that the priest has enrolled him in school.

Years later, Ram Jaane (Shah Rukh Khan) is working under Sameer Sanvla (Tinnu Anand). Ram Jaane started working with Sanvla to earn money, so that he could marry Bela when she returned. Sanvla's biggest rival is Mirchi (Amritpal). Ram Jaane attacks and takes out Mirchi's entire gang in a single strike. Technicolor is Sanvla's 2nd in command in the gang and is jealous of Ram Jaane's rise in the organization.
