Indian Film: KOYLA (COAL)

Hello it's Bilal again, now I will do a blog about another action-packed Indian movie which is called KOYLA in English translation it means (COAL), this film is considered to be one of the 90's classic and a very big hit. Here is an image and a jukebox of all of the songs from the movie.

I will now tell you what this film is about in a short summary. This action-packed film is about a mute man named SHANKAR who lives in a village and who is a loyal servant for a rich man who calls himself RAJA SAAB. RAJA SAAB owns a COAL MINE where villagers work for him and with the help of his spoilt and violent psychopath brother BRIJWA treats everyone in the village badly including SHANKAR , he also ruins the life of a poor but a beautiful and spirited village girl GAURI who SHANKAR feels so sorry for. One day when RAJA SAAB's cruelty to GAURI is so bad that SHANKAR finally decides to go against his master and to protect and take care of the girl he loves. SHANKAR takes GAURI to the jungle in order to get away from RAJA SAAB, BRIJWA their friend D.I.G and their henchmen, they come to the jungle to look for SHANKAR and GAURI but RAJA SAAB's henchmen are slowly killed by SHANKAR then RAJA SAAB decides to leave as they are being disadvantaged to SHANKAR, once they go SHANKAR and GAURI come out of hiding and go to the mountains of the jungle to enjoy their freedom, but RAJA SAAB, BRIJWA and D.I.G come back by gathering reinforcements, RAJA SAAB slits SHANKAR's throat and tosses him off  the mountain side and takes GAURI to be sold in the markets. Meanwhile a village boy finds SHANKAR hanging on a tree under a base of a mountain and he saves SHANKAR and takes him to a healer where SHANKAR is being cured and operates on his throat, while operating on his throat the healer manages to find a way to cure his vocal cords in his throat which can make him able to speak. The next morning when SHANKAR wakes up the healer tells SHANKAR that he wasn't mute by birth but endured some kind of physical trauma and young age, the whole story is revealed in a flashback SHANKAR recalls that when he was a boy, his father HARIYA THAKUR discovered diamonds in the coal mine, however he and his wife were murdered in front of SHANKAR by two mysterious men RANBIR and DILAWAR; when young SHANKAR threatened to tell everyone what they did to his parents, someone came up from behind him and shoved hot coals into his throat, rendering him mute, the story then moves back in the present SHANKAR is able to speak now so he is no longer mute, recovers, heals quickly, re-trains himself and returns, first SHANKAR has a hand to hand fight with BRIJWA and kills him by putting his head into a hot oven and is reunited with GAURI after rescuing her from the same men RANBIR and DILAWAR that killed his parents. SHANKAR, in the process, discovers that RAJA SAAB was the person who made him mute and who ordered his parents to be killed so he could steal their wealth. He kills RANBIR by throwing him off the cliff, with the help of GAURI, his best friend CHOTTE and CHOTTE'S dad VEDJI, SHANKAR lures DILAWAR into the COAL MINE and kills DILAWAR by dropping the lift on him then kills D.I.G by shoving a grenade in his mouth, all of RAJA SAAB's guards and henchmen are killed by GAURI, CHOTTE, VEDJI and the villagers by throwing COAL at them  , then SHANKAR finally manages to corner RAJA SAAB, who finally apologizes to SHANKAR for his wrongdoings to him, but SHANKAR disregards this and kills RAJA SAAB by setting him on fire with a huge COAL. After their victory SHANKAR and GAURI embrace each other, finally at peace.
In my opinion I love this movie, I love the story, I love the songs/music, I love the action and I like the actors who act in this film, I suggest you should watch this to it's very good.
