Raakh (English: Ashes) is a 1989 Indian crime thriller film starring Aamir Khan, Pankaj Kapoor, Supriya Pathak, Gajanan Bangera and Jagdeep. The revenge thriller film was directed by Aditya Bhattacharya, son of director, Basu Bhattacharya.
The film was Aamir Khan's first movie after QSQT and it received much critical acclaim and subsequently three National Film Awards in 1989 and developed considerable following over the years. The film also marked the Bollywood debut of ace cinematographer Santosh Sivan, and film editor A. Sreekar Prasad.
As declared in the subtitles of the opening scene, the events of the film takes place in a big city in India. After the police riots of 1990, the State Forces were disbanded and replaced by a central one. The police now had more powers. The crime rate continued to escalate. In the wealthier quarters of the city though, life went on… but it was an uneasy calm.
Aamir (Aamir Khan) had just turned 21. He is from a rich family. The only colour in his otherwise mundane life was his obsession for Neeta, an older, more pragmatic woman, who likes him but does not share his plans for their future.

It was a project of great importance for many of the cast and crew who made their debut with this movie. The movie acted as a career launching platform for many debutants like Santosh Sivan (Cinematographer), A Sreekar Prasad (Editor), Aamir Khan, Aditya Bhattacharya & Asif Noor (Producer) all of who were under 30 years of age at the time. The commendable fact is that Aditya Bhattacharya, 23, became the youngest director of Bollywood at that time winning the Best Directorial debut award at the Bengal Film Journalists' Association.

Film: Raakh Year: 1989 Synopsis: A dark gritty thriller that deals with a young citizen's difficult descent into vigilantism. Critics Speak: "Movie unfolds itself through Aamir's journey of perturbed emotions and a constant restlessness." "Aaditya Bhattacharya directs a taut tale, tries his best to keep the setting contemporary and is ably supported by the cast but falls down starkly on the production value which reduces the visual appeal of a rather fascinating style of narration." "Raakh runs for 2 hrs, the movie is slow and intense. It brings in the pain, you will feel the impact of the movie for sometime. Such movies are rare." Cast: Aamir Khan, Pankaj Kapoor, Supriya Pathak Directed by: Aaditya Bhattacharya Trailer music: Crdiac Arrest by Merlin

RAAKH a film which is not so talked about, but one of the most spectacular movies ever made and the youngest, cutest looking Aamir Khan tried to play a mature role in that time. What if he makes this movie now? Will it be a hit? Don't know, definately that innocence will be missing. I dedicate this to him and a great movie made by Aditya Bhattacharya. AWESOME !! ....Enjoy this presentation with YANNI's ever enthrilling and heart felt music which gives more meaning to the feature presentation.
Early dayz film of Aamir Khan....dedicated to the perfectionst of acting....legendary film, very less talked about. A small strip of stills from the same movie colated together. Enjoy!

Piel de ciudad,
Buscaré
Esquivar la soledad.
La gente va,
Y el ruido me distrae,
Me encontraré,
Otra vez,
Mil historias en un bar,
Y en el libro soy sólo una historia más.
Voy sin dirección,
Quiero dejarme ir,
Perder la razón,
Y en lo que ser,
Pues sólo existe el hoy.
Soy pasajero,
Yo voy donde quiero
Y no pueden detener mis pasos.
Soy un viajero,
Que salta sin miedo a caer,
Intentando encontrar su lugar.
Caminaré,
Sin pensar
Una calle y otra más.
Luces de neón me alumbran al pasar
Voy sin dirección,
Quiero dejarme ir,
Perder la razón,
Y en lo que sé,
Pues sólo existe el hoy.
Soy pasajero,
Yo voy donde quiero
Y no pueden detener mis pasos.
Soy un viajero,
Que salta sin miedo a caer,
Intentando encontrar su lugar. (uhh uhh)
Soy pasajero,
Yo voy donde quiero
Y no pueden detener mis pasos. (mis pasos)
Soy un viajero,
Que salta sin miedo a caer,
Intentando encontrar su lugar. (uhh ohh)
(Soy pasajero,
Yo voy donde quiero)
(Soy pasajero,
Yo voy donde quiero)
Y no pueden detener mis pasos!
(Soy pasajero,
Yo voy donde quiero)
