Jeevan Ek Sanghursh (English: Life is a Struggle, Hindi: जीवन एक संघर्ष) is a 1990 Bollywood film directed by Rahul Rawail and produced by D. Rama Naidu. It stars Raakhee, Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit in the leading roles. The film was successful and was the tenth highest grossing Bollywood film of 1990. Rawail's father H. S. Rawail was also a film director, best known for romantic films like Mere Mehboob (1963), Mehboob Ki Mehndi (1971) and Laila Majnu (1976). By titling this film as Jeevan Ek Sanghursh, Rawail paid a tribute to one of his father's film Sunghursh (1968), based on a novel written by the Bengali author Mahashweta Devi. The film was set in the 19th century and showcased the lives of bandits and stars actors like Dilip Kumar, Vyjayanthimala, Balraj Sahni, Sanjeev Kumar and Jayant.
Widowed Sulakshana Devi (Raakhee) has three children: two sons, Arjun (Kanwaljit Singh) and Karan, and a daughter, Suman (Shehnaz Kudia). They live in a rented house and the landlord behaves badly with Sulakshana Devi and robs all her money. Karan decides to rob the landlord but gets caught and is sent to the children's remand home. Sulakshana Devi decides to visit Karan before they leave for Mumbai but realises that he ran away from the remand home. Karan also makes his way to Mumbai, where he is picked up by a garage owner.
