Heer Ranjha is a romantic drama film from 1992 that tells the story of two young lovers, Heer and Ranjha, who belong to rival families in rural Punjab. The film stars Anil Kapoor as Ranjha, Sridevi as Heer, and Anupam Kher as Chaudhry Choudhry, Heer's father. The film opens with the tale of Heer and Ranjha, a classic story of love and tragedy that dates back to the 17th century. The story is told through a series of flashbacks from a modern-day couple, who are traveling through Punjab and hear the tale from a local guide. The guide recounts the story of Heer and Ranjha, two young lovers who are prevented from being together because of their families' longstanding feud.

Ranjha is a simple and honest farmer who falls in love with Heer, the beautiful daughter of a powerful landowner. They meet each other in secret and fall deeply in love, but their love is forbidden due to the feud between their families. Heer is engaged to marry another man, and her father is determined to keep them apart.

Despite the opposition from their families, Heer and Ranhja marry in secret and plan to elope together. But their secret is discovered, and Heer's father sends his men to capture Ranjha. He is beaten and left for dead, while Heer is forced to marry someone else.

Ranjha survives and returns to Heer's village disguised as a Sufi ascetic. He gains a following of disciples and becomes known as "Madho" while secretly continuing his love affair with Heer. They meet in secret and continue their love affair, but their happiness is short-lived.

When Heer's husband discovers their secret, he hires an assassin to kill Ranjha. The assassin succeeds in his mission, and Heer is left heartbroken. She dies shortly after from a broken heart, and Ranjha is buried next to her.

The film is a timeless tale of love and tragedy, beautifully portrayed by Anil Kapoor and Sridevi. Kapoor's performance as Ranjha is particularly noteworthy, as he perfectly captures the character's simplicity and honesty. Sridevi, as Heer, is also stunning in her portrayal of the beautiful but tragic lover.

The film is also notable for its soundtrack, composed by the legendary duo of Laxmikant-Pyarelal. The songs are heart-wrenching and beautifully sung by the likes of Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, and Mohd. Aziz.

Overall, Heer Ranjha is a classic romantic drama that continues to be popular to this day. It is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good love story and excellent acting.
