Ravan Raaj: A True Story
Introduction '''''Ravan Raaj: A True Story''''' is a 1995 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by T. Rama Rao, starring Mithun Chakraborty, Madhoo and Aditya Pancholi and Harish Kumar. The film is centred on kidney smugglers and a serial killer. It is a remake of the 1990 Tamil film ''Pulan Visaranai'', starring Vijayakanth. After shifting to Ooty, it was the last successful film of Mithun Chakraborty as a lead actor.
Plot summary Crime and corruption have taken over Bombay City without any solution. A rash of kidnappings of young women takes place. One auto-rickshaw driver "Auto Kesariya" (Shakti Kapoor) is behind this crime. The policemen of Kala Chowki Police Station are doing little to stop these crimes. Former Assistant Commissioner of Police Arjun Verma (Mithun Chakraborty) is reinstated and assigned to this case. Arjun gets himself deeply involved in this disappearance and the kidnappings and faces the shock and trauma of finding skeletal remains of young women who have been abducted as well as body parts stolen from innocent patients from hospitals. His personal life also turns upside down as his fiancée abandons him on his wedding day, while his niece is abducted and held for ransom, and above all Arjun Verma himself becomes the target of assassins hired by influential politicians and senior police officials.

Soundtrack The movie has six songs composed by Viju Shah which are, to some extent, significant until date. With Tips JHANKAR "Husnwaalon Se Yeh Dil Bachaaye" by Udit Narayan in his archetypal upbeat style, the catchy number "Yaar Mere Mausam Hai Mastaana Mastaana" suggestive of romance in fine weather are some well-known euphonious songs of the album. Voices for the songs were rendered by Kumar Sanu, Sadhana Sargam, Sapna Mukherjee, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Udit Narayan, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Bali Brahmbhatt and Poornima, with lyrics by the eminent lyricist Anand Bakshi. *"Husnwalo Se Ye Dil Bachaye" - Udit Narayan*"Aaina Aaina Tere Bin Chaina" - Kumar Sanu, Jayshree Shivram*"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh... Oah!" - Bali Brahmabhatt, Poornima*"O Sanam O Sanam" - Kumar Sanu, Sadhana Sargam*"Tu Cheez Badi Hai Sakht Sakht" - Bali Brahmabhatt, Johny Lever, Sapna Mukherjee*"Yaar Mera Mausam Hai Mastana Mastana" - Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Kavita Krishnamurthy
