Ram Jaane (lit.'Ram Knows') is a 1995 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film directed by Rajiv Mehra about an unnamed boy (portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan) who grows up to become a gangster. He uses the name Ram Jaane after meeting with a priest who in response to the boy asking what his real name was, said "Ram Jaane" (Ram knows). The film borrows its premise from the 1938 Hollywood gangster movie Angels with Dirty Faces. It is the fourth time Shah Rukh Khan played a negative role after Baazigar, Darr and Anjaam.[2] Ram Jaane was released to a positive reception from audiences and was a commercial success.[3][4][5] Shah Rukh Khan has bought the rights to this film under his banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.[6] This was the second Rajiv Mehra film to feature Shah Rukh Khan after Chamatkar, in 1992; that film was an average box office success, but Ram Jaane proved to be a hit.
