Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Mashaal (lit. 'Torch') is a 1984 Indian Hindi-language action film. Produced and directed by Yash Chopra, it starred Dilip Kumar, Waheeda Rehman, Anil Kapoor and Rati Agnihotri. The role played by Anil Kapoor was first offered to Amitabh Bachchan and then to Kamal Haasan, but after they declined the offer, the role went to Anil Kapoor. The project marked Anil's primary on-screen collaboration with Dilip Kumar. Vinod Kumar (Dilip Kumar) plays a respected, law-abiding citizen who turns to crime for exacting revenge. The film was based on the Marathi play Ashroonchi Zhali Phule written by Marathi writer Vasant Kanetkar. The film was remade in Malayalam as Ithile Iniyum Varu with Mammootty playing the lead role.
