[edit] Synopsis

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is very well done copy [1] of hollywood's acclaimed 1979 movie Breaking Away.


Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander is a story of a young man, Sanju (Sanjay Lal Verma), his buddies and his family consisting of his father (Ramlal) and an older brother (Ratan). The story is set in the hill station of Deharadun, where the richest families send their kids to school. Apart from top notch schools, there are also a few local ones like Model in which Ramlal is a coach and Ratan, Sanju and their friends attend. The biggest thing for the people there is the interschool sports competition held every year. Ever since his one cycling victory against the Rival school Rajput, Ramlal has been obsessed with Model beating them, through his obedient older son Ratan. Ratan is Model's model student, in studies, sports and character and the pride of his father. Sanju on the other hand is a happy-go-lucky bloke who loves hanging with friends and having fun in life even if it causes him to fail classes and disappoint his father. Sanju's friends consist of two good-hearted but not so bright boys and a tomboyish girl, Anjali who is also secretly in love with Sanju. A fact that even Sanju is unaware of. When a tragedy occurs,Ratan is severely injured in an accident and is now on the verge of death. Sanju is transformed from a guy with not a care in the world to a responsible friend, brother, son and athlete. The stage is now set for a tale of friendship, love, family, sports and competition told by Mansoor Khan. The music score was by Jatin Lalit.
