90's was basically a period when Bollywood was in its transformation phase. Movies were mostly meant to be an entertainment provider but directors, actors and the team still managed to produce some sensational movies that remains inspirational piece of work in heart of Indian cinema fans.
Here are few movies of 90's that are truly inspiring:
Damini-Lighting is considered as one of the best woman centric movie in Indian Cinema. Damini (played by Meenakshi Sheshadri) is a common woman, fighting against society for justice. In those time, women failed to raise their voice and endured all the atrocities by the society silently. But Damini was different. She was one of the kind who would go beyond limits to get justice. And she did the same.
She raised her voice against the heinous rape crime committed by her husband's brother along with three of his friends on their house-maid. She and her husband, played by Rishi Kapoor, was the only eye-witness of the crime. As the family conspires to suppress the case, Damini's husband has to go silent in order to preserve his family's respect in society. But Damini was determined to get justice for the victim. Her in-laws went to the meanest level posssible to win the case against Damini and protect their son. Her in-law, Barrister Chaddha, played by Amrish Puri (in-laws defending lawyer), Tolu Bajaj(who wanted her daughter to get married to Damini's husband played by Paresh Rawal) used all their power to make Damini's life hell. But still the way she puts up a heroic fight finding the support of Govind (played by Sunny Deol), a barrister turned drunkard, against everyone of them sends electric waves throughout the body. After all when she pulls victory out of impossible's jaw really inspires every women of that time and beyond.
The role of Damini is considered as one of the Meenakshi Sheshadri's career best performance.
The film was later remade in Oriya and Tamil.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is a story about young carefree youth with cool attitude towards life. He is someone who seems to have no aim in life. Bunking classes, loitering around with friends and failing in most subjects was the story about this boy. His elder brother Ratan was just opposite. Thus being pride of his father(a small cafe owner) and fame of the locality.
The highlight of the town was the annual inter-college sports championship with events like singing, dancing, race and marathon cycle race. But Cycle race winner was considered as the true champion. This movie starts with the cycle race event where Ratan loses to Sekhar, an arrogant rich brat by few yards due to inferior quality bike. Even a loss couldn't beat Ratan's determination. He started putting more effort in practice to get better prepared and emerge victorious in next years inter-college events. Whereas Sanju's life was entangled between two girls Devika and Anjali in between. Sanju falls for Devika and meanwhile Anjali falls for Sanju. Devika on coming to know from Sanju's false show-offs that he was a son of rich Bussiness tycoon also falls for him. This creates a serious rift between Sanju and Sekhar as later liked Devika too.
Another years event was inching closer and Ratan's practice became more rigorous. But the tension between Sanju and Shekhar makes things worse. Shekhar becomes a scapegoat in this fight. While fighting with Sekhar and his friends he accidentally falls from the hill and gets badly injured. This incident gives new direction to Sanju's life. He starts taking responsibilities and too keep his fathers hope alive he decides to participate in cycle race in absence of Ratan. On coming to know that Shekhar has taken his revenge from Ratan, he becomes a bit mad and decides beat Shekhar with rod. But Ratan stops him from doing any such idiotic thing and asks him to give his best in the race if he really wants to do something for his brother. Finally rigorous practice and strong determination pays-off and Sanju ace the race defeating Shekhar in close competition.
Falling in love, heartbreaks, Realizing what the true love is and finally understanding his responsibilities towards life makes this movie awesome watch.

It was a movie that inspired people of every locality to raise their voice against local goons who take unreasonable advantage of people silence. If you keep avoiding the menace and atrocities by these local goons, you will keep on suffering endlessly.

And then Aamir khan shoulder's the responsibility and helps people gather courage to fight against goons by his heroic fight.

The story of Sooryavansham connects really well with almost every Indian audience. Like every father, Bhanupratap has lots of expectations from his son. He was a highly respected personality in his District and wanted Heera to become a well educated and respected person too. But Heera as a child doesn't like studying at all. He was such a teen who doesn't even know how many zeroes to add after one in his report card to make fake hundred out of hundred. He went to school just for Gauri, the girl whom he loved. Gauri also liked Heera till she was a child but as she grew up and got educated she started looking down at Heera as he remained illiterate.
Angered father stops keeping any relation with his good for nothing son. Apart from studies he never looked for any other good qualities that his son possessed. Heera started working as a servant in his own house.

his bread, butter and life. He don't care about the country or social problems. Neither he has any appetite to do any good for the country. He was a grandson of a freedom fighter who had great expectation from him but against all expectation he starts gambling at very young age.

After that his life remained confined to him, Dhania (chal owner who adopts him) and Dhania's son whom he saved in childhood.
It was Megha Dixit(played by Dimpal Kapadia) who realizes the influential speaking power and extra-ordinary power that Pratap possesed to inspire even the meek to turn bold and fight for their justice all alone instead of crying for help to anyone else. Megha was a press reporter who keeps on fighting injustice by writing about it in her newspaper. She tries to motivate him every now and then to use his qualities to help the society and its people who were going through different problems daily. But being a careless guy, he laughs her words off in mockery every time.
But he could not live his life like that for long. One day a builder, politicians and mafia don conspires to create a rift between the people living in that chal. And it soon ends up in communal riot. Number of people with whom Pratap grew up died. A child who used to call Pratap his 'mama' also falls prey to this riot.
Burning pyres of chal residents, destroyed houses and pain of every person changes Pratap's perspective towards his life. One time careless Pratap decides to stand up against the corrupt politicians, builder and goons. And then all alone the way he fights with the situation brings a revolution (kranti) and helps him earn the title 'Krantiveer'.
