It's fascinating to see how this film holds up after 37 years. The music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal is timeless. As someone newer to Bollywood, it's great to explore these foundational films that everyone references.

The cast was just incredible. Rakhee ji, Amrish Puri, Dimple Kapadia, Madhuri Dixit... all in one film! Subhash Ghai really knew how to create masala magic. We don't get such wholesome entertainment anymore.

Respectfully, while the film is iconic for its time, the storyline was quite formulaic even back then. The real heroes were the actors who elevated the material. Today's scripts need more originality, not just star power.

Bhai, Jackie Shroff's style in this film was something else! The dialogues, the attitude. "Ram Lakhan" defines 80s Bollywood for me. Good to see Jaggu Dada still active and celebrating his legacy.

The article mentions the huge cast of the new 'Welcome' film. It reminds me of how 'Ram Lakhan' also had an ensemble, but each character felt distinct. Hope the new film captures that same balance.
