Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar (translation: He who wins, is the king) is a 1992 Indian sports drama film directed by Mansoor Khan (who earlier directed Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak). The film stars Aamir Khan, Deepak Tijori, Mamik Singh, Pooja Bedi, Ayesha Jhulka & Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the lead roles, whilst Aamir's brother, Faisal Khan makes a special appearance. The music was by Jatin Lalit. The plot has certain similarities to the 1979 American movie Breaking Away. It was an inspiration for the 1999 Telugu film Thammudu which went on to be remade in Tamil as Badri (2001) and in Kannada as Yuvaraja (2001) and in Bengali in 2003 as Champion. The film won the Filmfare award for best movie that year.
The movie is set in Dehradun in north India. The movie opens with the description of the various colleges in the city. The Rajput college has students from affluent backgrounds with each student being an heir to a multimillion fortune. In contrast, the Model college has students from poor local households. Other colleges include Xaviers College and Queens College, the latter being an all-girls college with the guys from all three colleges trying to woo the students there.
The highlight of the town is the annual inter-college sports championship with a marathon cycle race as the prime event. In the beginning of the film, the race is contested between Ratan Lal Sharma (Mamik Singh) of Model College and Shekhar Malhotra (Deepak Tijori) of Rajput College with the latter winning the race because Ratan had an inferior bike. After the race both are felicitated by their respective schools. Shekhar becomes cocky and arrogant.
