Insaniyat Ke Dushman (transl. Enemies of Humanity) is a 1987 Hindi-language action drama film directed by Rajkumar Kohli. The film features an ensemble cast of Dharmendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Raj Babbar, Sumeet Saigal, Dimple Kapadia, Anita Raj, Amjad Khan, Shakti Kapoor, Kader Khan, Aruna Irani, along with Smita Patil in a special appearance. The film revolves around a young lawyer seeking revenge against the perpetrators who raped his sister and drove her to suicide. It also contains a subplot revolving around an honest cop and his brother, and how the need for wealth drives them apart and leads to a situation where the cop is forced to arrest his own brother. Insaniyat Ke Dushman released worldwide on 2 January 1987, and received mixed to negative reviews, with criticism for the use of rape as a subject for taking revenge, courtroom sequences and some characters overplaying their roles. Some praise was focused on the performances of Dharmendra and Raj Babbar. At the box office, the film was a commercial success and was one of the highest-grossing films of the year. It marked the beginning of a golden year for Dharmendra, as he went on to give six more hits in the same year. The film was also notable for being one of the few box office hits which broke the jinx of the first release of a calendar year flopping commercially. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
