Story of the film

Shankar, a handsome but silent man, is reared by the strong Raja, to whom he is devoted. However, he handles him like a slave. Brijwa, Raja’s violent psychopath sibling, also mercilessly beats Shankar. Raja is a violent, vicious man who devours young women with great avarice. He kills anyone who would try to disagree with him.

Raja wants to marry Gauri because he perceives her as a contented, naive villager. But first, she requests to view a picture of her future spouse. Knowing that she would reject him right away, he sends her a picture of Shankar. Gauri accepts right away, and the wedding goes ahead.

Even though the marriage would not be valid while Gauri is unconscious, Raja commands the priest to continue when she realizes that Shankar is not her husband and passes out before the ceremony is finished.Upon regaining consciousness, she witnesses Raja attempting to consummate their union and is taken aback to discover they are wed. He confines her and torments her.

When Gauri attempts suicide, Shankar steps in to save her.. She accuses him of destroying her life, but she later says she is sorry after realizing he is innocent and that Raja’s doctor’s son occasionally acts as an interpreter. When Gauri’s brother Ashok pays her a visit, Raja threatens to kill Ashok unless she expresses her happiness to him. Gauri acts in this way.

But just as Ashok is about to leave, Shankar, unable to witness Gauri in pain, tells Ashok the truth by writing in the mud. When Ashok returns to save Gauri, Raja and Brijwa kill him. He makes Shankar swear to save Gauri just before he passes away, and the two of them leave Raja’s estate. Furious, Raja enlists the aid of an old buddy who happens to be a corrupt DIG and sets out on a homicidal hunt for Gauri and Shankar.

Following a protracted chase through the mountains and bush, Shankar murders Raja’s soldiers using his survival abilities. Being at a disadvantage leads Raja and his troops to go. Gauri and Shankar start to fall in love during this time. Raja, who has returned with reinforcements, unexpectedly notices them and shoots Gauri in the arm to take control of them.

After Raja slashes Shankar’s neck and abandons him to perish in the mountains after he is severely tortured by Brijwa and the dishonest DIG, Gauri is sold to a brothel once Raja finds out she loves Shankar. There, Raja’s old sweetheart Bindya—whom he disowned after she fell in love with Shankar—saves Gauri from the harm she had suffered. (Eventually, for reasons that are unclear, Shankar ceased defending himself while he was trying to stop Brijwa from raping her and was pummeled by him as a result) and was sold to the same brothel.

When she tries to stop her from doing so in order to protect Gauri, Brijwa, acting on his brother’s orders, publicly humiliates her before killing her with a knife. When Shankar is still unconscious, his grandfather, a healer, operates on his neck after a rural boy finds and saves him. After learning that Shankar is not born silent, the healer is able to restore some of the injured nerves in his throat, allowing him to talk.

As he recovers, Shankar remembers that when he was a young boy, his father had found diamonds in the coal mine. However, someone approached him from behind and pushed hot coals into his mouth, rendering him silent, after he and his wife were murdered in front of Shankar by two mysterious guys. Knowing Shankar’s parents, Raja gave the order for the police to kill those individuals. However, what everyone—including Shankar—did not know was that the DIG-led police force had been pretending to kill the men while Raja was adopting Shankar.

After Shankar recovers and goes back, he first murders Brijwa and then reunites with Gauri, saving her from the same guys who killed his parents and killing one of the men when he buys Gauri from the brothel. Shankar learns that Raja was the one who turned him mute and who gave the order to kill his parents so he could grab their fortune at the same time he is killing him. He meets up with Raja’s son and doctor, who thought he had passed away, in the meanwhile.

He murders Raja’s second goon and tells his coal workers about Raja’s atrocities with the aid of Gauri and the doctor’s son. When Gauri’s uncle and aunt show up, they are forced to acknowledge that they were complicit in pressuring Gauri to wed Raja. In addition to lying to Gauri, Raja’s doctor and his son turn against him, exposing his involvement in other rapes and killings. Everyone is given the command to hurl rocks at him and his troops. Raja succeeds in shooting his doctor and a couple of the employees in the arm. The DIG uses grenades to drive everyone away during the turmoil, but Shankar kills him. Shankar then pursues and corners Raja, who pleads for his life.

He tries to use the fact that he adopted him and preserved his life as justification for Shankar to spare his life, but Shankar rejects this by arguing that Raja adopted him in order to enslave him. He murders Raja by splattering coal and oil all over him and lighting him on fire with a blazing rock after he avoids the pickaxe that Raja threw at him. Shankar and Gauri hug each other when they are finally at peace.

Star Cast:

• Roshan approached Sunny Deol for the role of Shankar after watching the latter’s action scenes in the 1996 films Jeet and Ghatak: Lethal. But due to unknown reasons, Deol rejected the role. Upon his refusal, the role was offered to Shah Rukh Khan, who had worked with Roshan in his films King Uncle (1993) and Karan Arjun (1995).

• Sonali Bendre was Roshan’s first choice to play the role of Gauri. Later, Roshan replaced her with Madhuri Dixit for unknown reasons. The film marked the second collaboration between Khan and Dixit following Anjaam (1994) after which they also starred in Dil To Pagal Hai (also in 1997), Devdas (2002), and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002).

Film Shooting:

• The film Shooting of Koyla started in June 1996. A song of the film, Tanhai Tanhai, and some of the scenes, were shot in Tawang. Other scenes were also filmed in Hyderabad and south areas of Ooty.

• During the shooting of the film’s one popular song, Ghungte Mein Chanda, Khan fractured his leg. The other song of the film, Dekha Tujhe Toh, was to be therefore exited from the film because of his fracture, but after Khan’s leg got fully well, the song was shot. The sound of real pots was used for the background music of Dekha Tujhe Toh. A scene in the film was loosely inspired by the 1994 Hollywood film Forrest Gump.
