+Ghai’s controversial hit presents the ‘villain’
+Sanjay Dutt as exemplifying ‘today’s youth’.
+Dutt plays Ballu, a gangster and political
+criminal responsible for several assassinations,
+who is employed by the film’s main villain,
+Roshi Mahanta (Moutho). When Ballu escapes
+from prison without divulging the name of his
+employer, the police inspector Ramkumar
+(Shroff) sends his colleague and girlfriend
+Ganga (Dixit) to infiltrate the gang
+masquerading as a dancing girl. The film
+capitalised on the off-screen history of Dutt
+who, shortly after its completion, was arrested
+and imprisoned for alleged involvement in the
+Bombay communal riots of 1993, an incident
+popularly seen as a ‘real life’ re-enactment of
+what remains his definitive screen role. It was
+also controversial for the accusations of
+vulgarity levelled against its megahit song Choli
+ke peeche, ‘What’s beneath the blouse’, which,
+as a BBC report on the film put it, ‘had all of
+India hot under the collar’. Ghai has argued
+that the song merely adapts a traditional
+Rajasthani folk lyric.
