'Hum Paanch' ( 'Us Five') is a 1980 Hindi language action film directed by Bapu and produced by Boney Kapoor. The film features a huge all-star cast including Sanjeev Kumar, Shabana Azmi, Mithun Chakraborty, Nasiruddin Shah, Raj Babbar, Gulshan Grover (in his film debut) and Amrish Puri.

The movie was Boney Kapoor's maiden venture as a producer. A young Anil Kapoor, who is producer Boney Kapoor's brother has a cameo appearance. This film is a remake of 1978 Kannada film 'Paduvaaralli Pandavaru', directed by Puttanna Kanagal which was also remade by Bapu earlier in Telugu as 'Mana Voori Pandavulu' (1978). The film was distributed by noted distributor R. N. Mandre. The movie was an adaptation of the Mahabharata, fit to a rural scenario with some hints to the various clashes between the Pandavas and the Kauravas and to the characters in the epic.
