Ghulam (Hindi: ग़ुलाम, Urdu: غلام, translation: Slave) is a 1998 Hindi film directed by Vikram Bhatt and starring Aamir Khan. The film was inspired by Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954). It is the second remake of On the Waterfront after Kabzaa starring Sanjay Dutt. Ghulam did moderately well at the box office and was declared an Above Average Grosser.
Siddharth (Aamir Khan) is a Mumbai tapori, a boxing champion. His brother, Jai, makes money through a former boxing champion who now rules the community by terrorizing people and stealing money from innocent merchants. Siddharth saw his father's death when he was a child which mentally affected him throughout his life. His father's words remained with him, though he had only been with his father for a little while. Siddharth meets a young woman, Alisha (Rani Mukerji), who rides with a motorcycle gang and Charlie (Deepak Tijori). This is a flavor for some comedy and a brilliant scene in which Siddharth is running towards a train and as the train is only a few feet away he jumps out of the way.
