The film tells the rags-to-riches story of a young street performer from the slums of Bombay.

Popular songs include «Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja» sung by Parvati Khan, «I am a Disco Dancer» sung by Vijay Benedict, «Yaad Aa Raha Hai» sung by Bappi Lahiri, and «Goro Ki Na Kaalo Ki» sung by Suresh Wadkar with Usha Mangeshkar.
The film was a worldwide success, with its popularity extending across Asia, the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa. Disco Dancer was also the second highest-grossing film ever in the Soviet Union and the highest-grossing foreign film. Disco Dancer established Mithun as a household name across South Asia and the Soviet Union and many countries in Africa where Jimmy has become a more popular name for Mithun Chakraborty. The soundtrack album was also a success, having gone Platinum in India and received a Gold Award in China. Adjusted for inflation, it is still one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
Plot[edit]
Anil, a street performer and wedding singer from the slums of Bombay, is scarred by the memory of the rich P. N. Oberoi beating his mother in an incident during his childhood. When manager David Brown is fed up with the tantrums of current Indian disco champion Sam and looks for some new talent, he happens to see Anil dance-walking across a street. Rebranded as ‘Jimmy’, the rising disco star must take the throne from Sam and win the heart of Rita, Oberoi’s daughter.
All seems to be going well until Oberoi hires men to connect Jimmy’s electric guitar to 5,000 volts of electricity, causing Jimmy’s mother to die in a tragic accident. Jimmy gets guitar phobia after witnessing his mother’s death. Later, Oberoi’s goons break his legs. With help from Rita, Jimmy begins to walk.
Jimmy must claim first place for Team India at the International Disco Dancing Competition amidst strong competition from Team Africa (Disco King and Queen) and Paris (Disco King and Queen). Jimmy is reluctant to dance, but Rita persuades him to do so. Sam arrives with a guitar to scare Jimmy. Rita manages to drag the show to encourage Jimmy to sing but to no avail. The crowd pelts him with stones which hit his head. Jimmy’s uncle Raju arrives and advises him to infuse his mother and his music; he throws the guitar to Jimmy, after which Jimmy begins to sing. Oberoi’s goons kill Raju, after which Jimmy travels to their lair and beats them up. In the ensuing fight, Oberoi is electrocuted.

Remakes[edit]
It was remade in Tamil as Paadum Vaanampadi with Anand Babu, and in Telugu as Disco King with Nandamuri Balakrishna.
Legacy[edit]
Upon release, Disco Dancer was a phenomenon, both domestically and internationally. Prior to the film’s release, Bollywood was dominated by «angry young man» Bombay underworld films, an action crime film genre pioneered by screenwriter duo Salim–Javed a decade earlier in the early 1970s. These films often explored socialist and «hero versus system» themes, often presented a poor hero’s journey from rags-to-riches, and involved violent revenge plots against villains. Disco Dancer took the «angry young man» genre and subverted it: instead of having Jimmy fight the villains or get revenge through violence, he instead gets revenge and defeats the villains through disco dancing. This led to a wave of disco-themed Bollywood musicals in India, and it become a global phenomenon outside of India. It was a blockbuster in Asia and the former Soviet Union, and drew a large global cult following, from Japan where a Jimmy statue was built in Osaka, to the West where Disco Dancer became the defining example of a stereotypical «Bollywood» film. Retrospectively, the film has received a polarizing critical reception, with praise for its music and dance numbers but criticism towards its plot, with Anuvab Pal calling it an ironic comedy film.[27][28]
Popular culture[edit]
The title song «I Am a Disco Dancer» was the inspiration for Devo’s song «Disco Dancer» (1988).
The British Sri Lankan alternative rapper M.I.A. covered «Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja» as «Jimmy» in 2007 for her album Kala. There have been cover versions of «Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja» from other international musicians, including the 1998 hit «Jimmy» by Russian techno group Ruki Vverh, «Jimmy Jimmy» by Russian artists DJ Slon and Angel-A, and a cover version by Tibetan artist Kelsang Metok.
The music from «Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja» was used in the final fight scene in the Adam Sandler film You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.[29]
In 2010, the songs «I Am a Disco Dancer» and «Yaad Aa Raha Hai» were used in the 2010 Bollywood comedy film, Golmaal 3, directed by Rohit Shetty. The songs were relevant to the performance of Mithun Chakraborty’s character Pritam, who reflected on his past as a young mega-hit disco dancer.
Aamir Khan’s special appearance as Disco Fighter in the Imran Khan starrer 2011 film Delhi Belly is inspired by Mithun Chakraborty’s role in Disco Dancer.
«Jimmy Jimmy Aaja Aaja» and «I Am a Disco Dancer» are very popular in countries such as Mongolia and post-Soviet states such as Russia, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan.[citation needed]
Baimurat Allaberiyev, an ethnic Uzbek from Tajikistan, became an internet sensation by singing «Goron Ki Na Kalon Ki» and «Jimmy Aaja» in a warehouse. The 2008 video recorded on a mobile phone got over 1 million views on YouTube. He landed an acting role in a Russian comedy film, Six Degrees of Celebration (2010).
The film’s soundtrack was used during the end credits of the 2019 Tamil film Super Deluxe.[30]

«Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja»
जिमी जिमी जिमी
आज आज आज
आज रे मेरे साथ
यह जागे जागे रात
पुकारे तुझे सुन
सुन दे वही धुन
ऐसे गुमसुम तु है क्यूँ
ख़ामोशी तोड़ दे
जीना क्य दिल हार के
पागलपन छोड़ दे
Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy
Aaja aaja aaja
Aaja re mere saath
Yeh jaage jaage raat
Pukare tujhe sun
Suna de wohi dhun
Aise gumsum tu hai kyun
Khamoshi tod de
Jeena kya dil haar ke
Pagaalpan chhod de
Джимми, Джимми, Джимми
Идём, идём, идём
Идём же со мной
Эта бессонная ночь
Зовёт тебя — услышь!
Спой ей ту мелодию
Почему ты так притих?
Нарушь молчание!
Неужели ты хочешь навсегда остаться проигравшим?
Образумься же!
Факты
- В начале фильма в комнате Джимми можно увидеть постер фильма «Лихорадка субботнего вечера» (1977), героем которого также является танцор диско в исполнении Джона Траволты.
- В кинотеатрах Советского Союза другой фильм с участием Митхуна Чакраборти «Танцуй, танцуй» (1987) часто демонстрировался под названием «Танцор диско 2. Танцуй, танцуй», хотя и не являлся сиквелом «Танцора диско».
- Кавер-версия песни «Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja» под названием «Jimmy» вошла в альбом «Kala» (2007) британской певицы тамильского происхождения M.I.A..
- Песня «Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja» звучит также в фильме «Не шутите с Зоханом» (2008).
- Во время исполнения Джимми песни «I am a Disco Dancer» на стенах сцены можно увидеть эмблемы Московской Олимпиады.
- Во время проведения «Международного Диско фестиваля» в танцах приглашенных гостей из Африки и Франции явно отслеживается влияние американской телевизионной передачи Soul Train, выходившей в эфир с 1971 по 2006 год, а именно её характерный элемент «Soul Train Line».

Disco Dancer
Вечный сюжет о Золушке: восхождение из ничего к вершинам славы.
Анил (Митхун Чакраборти), уличный артист и свадебный певец из трущоб Бомбея, страдает от воспоминаний о том, как богач Оберой (Ом Шивпури) избил его мать Радху (Гита Сиддхарт) во время инцидента в его детстве. Когда менеджеру Дэвиду Брауну (Ом Пури) надоедают истерики нынешнего короля индийского диско Сэма (Каран Раздан) и он ищет новый талант, он случайно видит, как Анил танцует, переходя улицу. Браун даёт ему псевдоним «Джимми» и делает из него восходящую звезду диско, которая должна занять трон Сэма и завоевать сердце Риты (Ким), дочери Обероя.
Кажется, все идет хорошо, пока Оберой не нанимает людей, чтобы подключить электрогитару Джимми к электричеству напряжением 5000 вольт. Мать Джимми узнает об этом и в последний момент спасает сына ценой своей жизни. Джимми страдает гитарной фобией после того, как стал свидетелем смерти своей матери. Позже головорезы Обероя ломают ему ноги. С помощью Риты Джимми заново учится ходить.
Джимми должен завоевать первое место для команды Индии на Международном конкурсе диско среди сильной конкуренции со стороны команд Африки и Франции. Джимми не хочет танцевать, но Рита уговаривает его сделать это. Сэм приходит с гитарой, чтобы напугать Джимми. Рите удается затянуть шоу, чтобы побудить Джимми спеть, но это ни к чему не приводит. Толпа забрасывает Джимми камнями. Приезжает дядя Джимми Раджу (Раджеш Кханна) и призывает племянника петь в память своей матери, говоря, что она будет жить в его песнях; он бросает гитару Джимми, после чего тот начинает петь, а Сэм сходит с ума. Головорезы Обероя убивают Раджу, заслонившего Джимми от пули, после чего Джимми отправляется в их логово и избивает их. В последовавшей за этим драке Оберой погибает от удара током.
