JoJeeta Wohi Sikandar was inspired by the 1979 American film Breaking Away.[4][5] It won two Filmfare Awards, including Best Film.[6] It was remade in Telugu in 1999 as Thammudu which in turn was remade in multiple languages. The film has gained cult following along the years and has often been cited as one of the best coming-of-age movies in Indian cinema. [7][8]
In the hills of Dehradun, Shekhar Malhotra of Rajput School narrowly defeats Ratanlal Sharma of Model College in the main event marathon cycle race at the annual inter-school sports meet. Ratan vows to compete again, and his father Ramlal, an ex-champion himself, promises to save up and buy him an expensive new cycle to match Shekhar's.
Ramlal gives money to Ratan to put away, which he passes to his younger brother, Sanjay. Unlike Ratan, Sanjay is carefree and irresponsible. He comes across Devika, a new girl at Queen's College, who feels wronged by Shekhar. He uses her to get back at Shekhar, then impresses her with false tales of his family's wealth. Devika ends up falling for Sanjay and they start going out. Sanjay gets expensive gifts for her from the money he is supposed to put away for Ratan's new cycle.
At the inter-school dance competition, Sanjay's secret is revealed when Devika sees him participate with the group from the lowly Model College. She dumps him the next day, and Sanjay lashes out at Shekhar's friends after they taunt him. Ratan intervenes, only to be confronted the next morning by Shekhar's group again, when he is out training alone. He is hit on the head by a stick and falls off the cliff. At the hospital, Ratan enters a coma but eventually awakens. Though he will recover, he is ruled out from competing in the next cycle race.
Sanjay resolves to compete in Ratan's stead. He is helped by his tomboyish best friend, Anjali, who secretly has a crush on him. Seeing her devotion to him, Sanjay reciprocates as well. During the race, Shekhar and Sanjay tangle and fall off course. They rejoin at the back of the field, but overtake the other cyclists to lead in the final laps. Sanjay is on Shekhar's tail trying to get past. In the final moments, he edges Shekhar to win the race at the finish line.
The film was directed by Mansoor Khan, and written and produced by Nasir Hussain.[10] Akshay Kumar had auditioned[11] and Milind Soman was signed for Shekhar Malhotra's role,[12] before Deepak Tijori played the role. Aditya Pancholi was selected to play the role of Ratan, but the role went to Mamik Singh, as confirmed by DNA.
The plot has similarities to the 1979 American film Breaking Away. However, Mansoor Khan stated that he only became aware of Breaking Away after the likeness was brought to his attention, some time after the release of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander. Both films have several similarities, including friendship, class barriers, bicycle racing, and parental relationship, but otherwise have different narratives, characters, motivations, treatment and racing rules.[13]
The soundtrack, the second collaboration between Jatin and Lalit, helped to launch their careers. It was nominated for Best Music at the 1993 Filmfare Awards. "Pehla Nasha" was the fourth film song in Indian cinema (the first one being "Jogi O Jogi" from Lakhon Mein Ek (1971), followed by "Baare Baare" from Naagarahaavu (1972) and "Sundari Neeyum" from Michael Madana Kama Rajan (1990)) to be shot in complete slow motion. The technique was later used in many films and music videos. Pehla Nasha was the most popular track of the album and has become a cult song. Other popular tracks were "Humse Hai Sara Jahan", "Rooth Ke Humse" and "Arre Yaaron Mere Pyaaron". The song "Arre Yaaron Mere Pyaaron" was sung by Udit Narayan along with Vijeta Pandit.[16]

Norwegian dance group, The Quick Style, has been dominating social media for quite some time now. The dance crew became an overnight sensation after it grooved to Badshah's 'Kala Chashma' from the movie 'Baar Baar Dekho'. Now, the group has again wowed social media users with their dance moves to Ayushmann Khurrana's newest groovy track 'Jehda Nasha' from his recently released film 'An Action Hero'.
"What is your Nasha," the Norway dance group wrote while sharing the video on Instagram. The clip opened to show one of the dancers showing off some of his cool dance moves. As the video continued, others too joined him one by one in their own fun way. The group then continued dancing in their iconic style until the end.
The Quick Style shared the video on Sunday. Since being posted, the clip has accumulated more than 383,000 likes and over 3 million views. The video also garnered several comments from verified social media handles.
A third user commented, "Sooo creative. The video the dance the everything. You guys are just the best. Always putting a smile on my face," while a fourth added, "You guys never cease to amaze us. Changed the entire song vibe for me."
The clip opened to show one of the members of the crew starting the dance in their signature style and others soon joining in. Moments later, as the song changes in the middle of their performance, Usher is seen walking into the room to join the dance group.
Playing Pehla Nasha on Piano is one of the best things one can do with the Keyboard. This beautiful song can also be played on many other instruments as well. Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar was a super hit movie of Aamir Khan and songs of the film are still very popular.
Below there is a video of the song being played on Piano. Before you go ahead and practice the song all by yourself, check the video. You will notice Green and Blue key presses here. Green ones are for melody, while blue represents chords. If you are a beginner, practice with the melody only. Once you master this perfectly, switch to chords as well.
And go down the film did, indeed!Back then also (at the time of the film's/music's release), there was talk
about them having copied tunes for various songs, and of having been helped by
their father, Shravan (of the N-S pair). That pair has also been accused
frequently (and not without valid ground) of 'lifting' various tunes,
especially Pakistani numbers including those of the late Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali
Khan. According to the music review column by Subhash K. Jha in Filmfare in
Nov. or December, that practice goes on. And still, despite all that, I did like the music of Mann, esp. the song
"nashaa ye pyaar kaa..." as well as "kaalii naagin...", for Udit Narayan's
full/open throated singing.
Happy listenings.Satish Kalra
