I cannot understand how everybody here is praising this movie. In fact I wouldn't even call it a movie at all. Looks like one fine day, some people got their hands on a camera in their basement and decided to shoot some scenes in their backyard to come up with a movie like this. Do not trust the reviewers here. Check the Wiki page for quick reference and it'll direct you to an article on cracked explaining why this is the worst film ever. I do not normally write reviews but I made an exception because almost every reviewer here is deluding the people into believing that it is one of the best movies ever. Trust me and do not waste your resources on this film. I wish I could have given it a zero but IMDb wouldn't allow it.
Raakh means ash; remains of an object that burns completely by fire The film features Aamir Khan as an avenger who cannot live with the fact that he was unable to prevent rape of his ex-girlfriend. An incident which happened right in front of him and he was partially responsible for the incident. Rest of the story is how he finds peace within. The film explores concepts of Indian society where weak and innocent are exploited and law enforcement is unfavourable for law abiding people. Also shows nature of people to accept any injustice done to them, more because even if they want to fight the fact that they are weak is their crime. Seems like the only way to justice is on the other side of law. Now it is already 2008 funny to say things haven't changed much in 20 years since release in 1988.
