Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIt was after the release of Rangeela that Aamir Khan stopped attending Filmfare Awards. He had become upset that he did not win, or even be nominated for, the 1995 Best Actor award for his performance in the film. He also felt that for films like Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (1992) and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke (1993) that he should have gotten recognition from Filmfare and after these incidents he became upset with Filmfare. But after failing to receive recognition for Rangeela is when Aamir had had enough and decided to shun Filmfare altogether.
- GoofsWhen Mili comes to Munna's room to read over her lines, a poster for Commando (1985) is hanging on the wall over a bedside table, while a calendar is on the wall above the bed. Later in the scene, the calendar disappears and the poster has shifted to the left to take its spot.
- Crazy creditsSince the film's plot revolves around an aspiring actor, the credits had images of famous yesteryear actors and actresses like Savithri, Madhubala, Hemamalini, Dev Anand, Rekha, Amitabh Bachchan, Sridevi etc.

Featured review
The Plot idea of "Rangeela" is not original.. its Bollywood inspired by Bollywood itself.
Any guesses ? Well Year -1970 Movie - Mere Humsafar.. only difference here is in the old movie the director played by non other but Balraj Sahini has his eye on the lady and woes to win her, make her career etc., while the poor village boy (Jeetendra) almost looses her to the film world & glamor..
Plot very similar and identical..
Incidentally there is another Aamir Khan movie again inspired by an old blockbuster movie of 1971 and that's Caravan again starring Jeetendra, and the movie is "Mela", but that attempt was a failure, as the Original was too good.
