Released on 8 September 1995, Rangeela was a game-changer for Hindi cinema. Written, directed, and co-produced by Ram Gopal Varma, the film starred Aamir Khan, Urmila Matondkar, and Jackie Shroff in a love triangle that still tugs at audiences’ hearts. With its breezy romance, sharp humor, and dazzling visual style, the film set new benchmarks for Bollywood storytelling.
The movie’s soundtrack also holds a legendary place in history. Composed by A. R. Rahman in his first original Hindi score, the album became a cultural sensation, with its songs still celebrated across generations. Combined with Urmila Matondkar’s charismatic performance that established her as a star, Rangeela became both a critical darling and a box office beast.
At the 41st Filmfare Awards, Rangeela scored a record 14 nominations and bagged 7 trophies, including Best Supporting Actor for Jackie Shroff, Best Music Director for Rahman, and a Special Jury Award for Asha Bhosle’s unforgettable rendition of "Tanha Tanha." Jackie’s sensitive portrayal in particular cemented his reputation as a versatile artist, balancing stardom with depth.
Three decades later, the legacy of Rangeela remains undimmed. From its trendsetting fashion by Anna Singh to its modern take on relationships, the film still feels fresh and relevant. Jackie Shroff’s celebration isn’t just a look back—it’s a reminder of how Rangeela redefined romance, music, and style, earning its permanent place in the colorful tapestry of Bollywood classics.
