Director: Mukul S. Anand

Mukul S. Anand was a big name in Indian cinema, a master of high-octane, dramatic films. His treatment of the film Hum used to display an action drama-based melodrama with larger-than-life characters and epic storytelling. In his earlier films, like Khuda Kasam and Agneepath, he had proved his mettle for making films based upon a meaty storyline supported by good emotional content and cinematic look. In Hum, though, Anand did manage to strike a fine balance between some heavy-duty action sequences and heartfelt drama, ensuring that the film appealed to all.

 

Cast Overview:

1.Amitabh Bachchan: One of the most legendary actors ever to have come out of the cinematic ocean that is Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan played Inspector Arun Kumar, an investigator who had used justice as his prime mover.
