Synopsis

Mard (1985) is a cult classic Bollywood action-drama directed by Manmohan Desai, starring the legendary Amitabh Bachchan as Raju, a courageous tanga driver in colonial India. The story follows Raju’s heroic journey to reclaim his father’s lost kingdom and liberate his people from the oppressive rule of the tyrannical General Dyer. Known for its high-octane action sequences, patriotic fervor, and iconic dialogues, the film showcases Raju's unyielding strength—symbolized by the word 'Mard' (Man) tattooed on his chest. Accompanied by his loyal dog Moti and faithful horse Dhanno, Raju takes on the British forces to restore justice and honor. Featuring a memorable soundtrack by Anu Malik and a stellar supporting cast including Amrita Singh and Dara Singh, Mard remains a definitive example of the 1980s masala cinema. Experience this epic tale of bravery, sacrifice, and father-son reunion that solidified Bachchan’s status as the ultimate action hero of Indian cinema.
