Kishen Kanhaiya (1990)

Anil Kapoor has amazingly executed the hit formula of the 80s and 90s, where twins are separated at birth and then meet in adulthood. As usual, one child turns out to be a tough man and another one is kept under pressure to take the whole property one day and throw him on the streets.

Ram Lakhan (1989)

In this movie, Anil Kapoor plays the vagabond brother of Ace, a cop who uses his brother's connections to advance his own interests. He has a great filmy epiphany that transforms his life and defeats all evil forces in a great battle at the end. 

1942 - A love story (1994)

Anil Kapoor is famous for the song “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha toh Aisa Laga”, where he tears up a pillow and scatters the feathers all over. Their love story, set in 1942, is the time when the hold of British raj was still strong. As Anil Kapoor and Manisha Koirala have different backgrounds, their love story faces terrible difficulties.
