Allah Rakha is a 1986 Bollywood Masala film directed by Ketan Desai and starring Jackie Shroff, Dimple Kapadia, Meenakshi Seshadri, Shammi Kapoor and Waheeda Rehman. The film is notable as the protagonist, played by Shroff, is a Muslim, unusual in Hindi cinema.[1] Film fared moderately well at the box office.

Story

Karim Khan accepts the blame for a murder that his boss, Don had committed and is consequently sent to prison. When Khan's wife Razia visits Don to collect her husband's salary, he tries to rape her, but she escapes. Don is then arrested by Inspector Anwar.

Soon, Inspector Anwar and his wife Salma's only son Iqbal develops a heart condition which can only be cured with a pacemaker. Since the only chemist selling the pacemaker belongs to Don, Inspector Anwar is blackmailed by Don's goons to release Don in exchange for the pacemaker. Anwar reluctantly agrees and gets the pacemaker for his son, which happens to have the number 786 written on it.

Later on, Don's henchmen kidnap Iqbal, but before they can kill him, he is rescued by Razia, who swaps him with her own dead infant. Sadly, Razia is killed by Don's goons after they hit her with their car. Thinking that her son is dead, Salma runs out into the middle of the road in shock, is hit by a passing truck and loses her eyesight.

When Karim Khan is released from prison, he is handed Iqbal, whom everyone thinks is his son. He then kills Don to avenge his wife's death. Before being arrested by the police, Khan hands over the infant to Salma, asking her to raise him until his sentence is completed. He names the child "Allah-Rakha".

Allah-Rakha grows up to be an honest and brave young man, but is unable to gain admission into the University due to the corrupt Mr Khera (Anupham Kher). He resorts to running a roadside "Panch Tara" (as in five star) hotel.

Khera then frames Allah-Rakha as being the mastermind behind a series of fatal TV bomb attacks that were talking place all over town. Allah-Rakha is arrested and in prison is reunited with his father Karim Khan.

When Karim Khan is released from jail, he's confronted by Don's son, Don Jr. who has come to avenge his father. He shoots Karim Khan, but the latter survives. When Don Jr. tries to kill Allah-Rakha, he is killed instead. Allah-Rakha then switches places with him and assumes the guise of Don Jr., while the world thinks that Allah-Rakha is dead.

When Karim Khan regains consciousness in the hospital, he immediately seeks out Don Jr. and wounds him seriously, not knowing that he is in fact Allah-Rakha in disguise. In the hospital while operating on Allah-Rakha, the doctor discovers his 786 pacemaker and thus reveals that he is in fact Inspector Anwar and Salma's son Iqbal.

Allah-Rakha, aka Iqbal, with the help of Khera's daughter Julie, telecast the video in which Khera admits to being the man responsible for the TV bombs as well as a host of other crimes. Khera and his men are arrested while Iqbal is reunited with his family.

Production

"Allah-Rakha" was Ketan Desai's directorial debut. Desai had assisted his father, notable filmmaker Manmohan Desai, on many of his films. Just like his father, Ketan also planned on casting superstar Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role. The film was written specifically with Bachchan in mind, but because Bachchan had joined politics and was not working in movies during that time, Desai had to cast Jackie Shroff. In an interview, Shroff said that all the hero's costumes for the movie had been tailor made to Bachchan's specifications and thus he literally was stepping into Bachchan's shoes.[2]

The film does have quite a few connections to Manmohan Desai's earlier movie Coolie:

  • In both the movies, the protagonists name is "Iqbal" and his mother's name is "Salma", a role played by Waheeda Rehman in both movies.
  • Both movies were set in a Muslim background.
  • The scene showing people boarding the ship to go for pilgrimage is the same one used in both movies.
  • "Allah-Rakha" is the name that Jackie's character is given in this movie by Karim Khan, while in "Coolie" it is the name of Amitabh's falcon.
  • In this movie, Iqbal's pacemaker has the number 786 written on it, while in "Coolie" it was Amitabh's arm badge number.
  • Much of the background music used in both movies is the same.

Music

The music was composed by Annu Malik, with lyrics by Rajendra Krishan and Prayag Raj.[3]

The song "Na Amar, Na Akbar, Na Main Anthony" references four of Manmohan Desai's films: Amar Akbar Anthony, Naseeb, Coolie and Mard. All of these films had Amitabh Bachchan in the starring role.

Trivia

  • The script was written with Amitabh Bachchan in mind to play the title role, but he had gone into politics and was not doing films, so the role went to Jackie Shroff.
  • Sanjeev Kumar, Rakhee Gulzar and Rati Aghnihotri were to do the roles of Biswajeet, Waheeda Rehman and Dimple Kapadia respectively.
  • The song 'Chahe Sholo Pe Jalado' was recorded after the film was complete and then it was added to the film. This song was an additional song.
    • After Allah-Rakha, Ketan Desai was starting a film with Mithun Chakraborty.
    • This Ketan Desai film was titled 'Rozi Roti', but then he started Toofan, with Amitabh Bachchan.
    • Rozi Roti was shelved, instead Manmohan Desai cast Mithun in Gangaa Jamunaa Saraswathi.
  • In the scene where Don Jr. shoots Karin Khan (Shammi Kapoor), the background music playing was earlier used in Coolie. The music was used in the climax scene of Coolie.
  • The Jackie Shroff double role character's in the film had an interesting story. Years earlier, Amitabh Bachchan was acting in a film titled Khuda Gawah (not the 1992 movie). The film script revolved around a good Amitabh versus an evil Amitabh. When the film got shelved, Ketan Desai took that part of Khuda Gawah{{'}}s script and added it to Allah Rakha. That is how Allah Rakha had a good Jackie Shroff and a bad Jackie Shroff.
