Khalnayak is a gripping Indian crime drama film from 1993, directed by Subhash Ghai. The story revolves around a notorious criminal, Ballu (played by Sanjay Dutt) who is wanted by the police for many heinous crimes, including murder, robbery and kidnapping. Ballu manages to escape from jail and becomes a fugitive, wreaking havoc across the country while evading the law.

The lead investigator, Inspector Ram (Jackie Shroff) is tasked with tracking down Ballu and bringing him to justice. However, as the investigation deepens, Ram learns that Ballu is not just a cold-blooded criminal but was led astray by circumstances beyond his control. Ballu's backstory is gradually revealed through flashbacks, which show that his painful childhood and his love for a woman named Ganga (Madhuri Dixit) were instrumental in shaping his trajectory towards crime.

As Ram inches closer towards Ballu, the latter kidnaps Ganga to use her as a bargaining chip. Ram is now put in a dilemma, having to choose between bringing Ballu to justice and saving the life of an innocent woman. The story reaches a dramatic climax with a thrilling chase sequence and an unexpected twist in the end.

The main highlight of the movie is Sanjay Dutt's powerful performance as Ballu, which earned him numerous accolades and established him as a formidable actor in the Indian film industry. Madhuri Dixit shines in her role as Ganga, imbuing her character with a vulnerability and grace that tugs at the heartstrings. Jackie Shroff delivers a nuanced performance as the conflicted Inspector Ram, torn between his duty as a law enforcer and his compassion for the criminal he is pursuing.

The film also boasts of some outstanding music score by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, with chartbusters like "Choli Ke Peeche" and "Nayak Nahi Khalnayak Hai Tu" that became instant hits.

Overall, Khalnayak is a gritty and intense movie that explores the complexities of crime and punishment, while also delving into the human side of criminals. It is a must-watch for fans of crime dramas, and a reminder of the powerhouse performances of the three leading actors of the Indian film industry.

Khalnayak is a 1993 action movie with a runtime of 3 hours and 11 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.1.
