== Plot ==
A street-toughened orphan by the name of Munna ([[Aamir Khan]]) is befriended by some kind folks, whose effervescent daughter Mili ([[Urmila Matondkar]]) soon grows to be his best buddy. Both gravitate toward the Mumbai movie industry. While Mili finds occupation as a movie extra, Munna earns his livelihood selling movie tickets in the black market.

Mili has ambitions of becoming an actress. Fortune glances her way when she dances her way into a movie star's attention. This actor, Raj Kamal ([[Jackie Shroff]]), arranges for her to be auditioned for the heroine's role in his upcoming movie called ''Rangeela''. Mili's shortcomings amount to distractions, but thanks in no small way to Munna and Raj, she lands the role.

Raj and Munna both fall for Mili, but Mili is too busy making the movie to notice any of this. She starts spending a lot of time with Raj during the filming. Munna tries many times to tell Mili that he loves her, but he is unable to, or Raj gets in the way. Eventually, feeling inferior, Munna decides to leave Mili to Raj, who can give her a better life than he can. The matter is not resolved though, as Mili hears of this on the film's opening night. She asks Raj to help her find Munna, which he does after realizing that Mili seems to love Munna and not him.

Mili stops Munna midway, misunderstandings get cleared up and the lovers unite.

== Trivia ==
{{trivia|section=y|date=July 2021}}
* The name 'Rangeela' was based on the character of Munna by Aamir Khan. But it was Urmila Matondkar who became synonymous after the success of the film. She would often be termed by the media as 'Rangeeli' in publications and in popular culture.
* Urmila Matondkar inspired Ram Gopal Verma to make a dance and music-based love story. He stopped trying to rope in Madhuri and Sridevi for some other script of his. Instead started Rangeela with Urmila after getting impressed with her dancing skills on sets of [[Gaayam]].
* To get into the role of a Mumbaiya Tapori, Aamir Khan actually spent some of his time with Real Taporis in the real slums of Mumbai. Aamir worked on his diction, dialogue delivery and body language to portray the character convincingly.
* Ram Gopal Varma was apparently not happy with [[Saroj Khan]]'s choreography of 'Tanha Tanha'. So he appointed Ahmed Khan to choreograph rest of the songs. However, its another fact that the choreography of Saroj Khan in 'Tanha Tanha' became the talk of the town and earned her widespread acclaim.
* The title credits of the film that features the legendary actors and actresses of Indian Cinema were especially put on display as a token of love from Ram Gopal Varma to the Industry. In his words, Rangeela was a tribute dedicated to the beauty of Indian Cinema.
* Rangeela remains RGV's only successful light hearted film that consisted of romance, music and comedy. After that he shifted his focus to thriller and gangster films. Although he attempted to make another light hearted film ''[[Mast (film)|Mast]]'' in 1999. That film could not replicate the success of Rangeela.
* Aamir Khan accepted in an interview later that he did not like the music when he first heard it and had not much expectation out of it. Even [[Asha Bhosle]] whose career also got a boost with this film did not like the songs much when narrated to her for the first time.
* Filmmaker [[Madhur Bhandarkar]] appears in a cameo of an Assistant Director to Steven Kapoor played by [[Gulshan Grover]].
*According to popular public opinion, it has been widely reported that actor Aamir Khan stopped attending award functions after he did not win the Best Actor Award for his performance in Rangeela. On the contrary, it was ''[[Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander]]'' for which Aamir lost the award to [[Anil Kapoor]] for ''[[Beta (film)|Beta]]'' which led to the disappointment of the former after which he boycotted the award functions.
* Rangeela is the only movie Aamir Khan and Urmila worked together.
* Jackie Shroff and Aamir Khan would go on to work together many years later in Dhoom 3 in which Jackie played Aamir’s father.

== Cultural significance ==
{{original research|section|date=June 2018}}
Rangeela is considered to be a cult classic in history of Bollywood. The impact of it was so huge that the film was reported to have inspired the 2004 movie ''[[Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!]]''.<ref name="in.style.yahoo.com"/> The 2010 film [[Break Ke Baad]] is also loosely based on the storyline of 'Rangeela'.

Despite the film's huge success, It was still regarded as a film ahead of its time as the films made during the early 1990s had dated plots and storylines. Shekhar Kapur called it 'The film of the 21st Century with great music and visuals' at the screening of the film. The presentation of Urmila Matondkar in the film became the talk of the town as it re-invented the image of the Bollywood Heroine. Aamir Khan played an unusual character of a Mumbaiya Tapori in the early stages of his career and that proved to be the milestone for him. A R Rahman's music of the film became such a rage that it topped the charts for almost a decade. The songs still remain popular as they have a fresh feel. The film established careers of so many technicians and the people who worked behind the camera.
