JO Jeeta Wohi Sikandar


There is a strong relation between sports and Bollywood for many years now. Many films have been produced on the basis of sports. It is one of the most successful formula in Indian films. Sports based films show the heroes in a different angle. It gives scope to act in various ways.

Aamir Khan is always in front of the line to act in these types of movies. From the start of his career he has done several movies related to sports. They have all been successful.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is one among them. It was a block buster in the 90s.



This movie involved an inter school bicycle race in a small town Dehradun. All students in the town dream of participating from their school. The competition is between the Rajput school and the remaining ordinary schools.

Sanjay Lal, played by Aamir Khan, never thinks of competing in the race. But participates in the race instead of his brother, who is injured because of the students from the Rajput school. The story is about how he wins the race. On the other side, there is some family drama and a love story.




This movie was directed by Mansoor Khan who did a great job. Another asset of this film is selecting a beautiful town giving it a fresh look.

Aamir Khan
gave an outstanding performance as a careless guy at the beginning, as a lover and his dedication to win. Ayesha Jhulka as his friend and lover was also very good. All the remaining characters given good performances.

After 10 years the same film with the name Thammudu was produced in Tollywood. Instead of a cycle race they used boxing. It was a super hit. Hero Pawan Kalyan became a star. Many producers are thinking of remaking the film in Hindi again. It still continues to be a popular film.
