Wikipedia article




'Kanoon Apna Apna' is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language action-drama film starring Dilip Kumar, Nutan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit in pivotal roles. It was a box office hit, earning 4 Crore Net in 1989. The film, however, did not live up to the expectations set by 'Vidhaata' (1982) that also starred both Dilip Kumar and Sanjay Dutt. The film was a remake of Telugu film 'Collector Gari Abbai'.

Plot



The Collector of Anokhapur, Jagatpratap Singh is a stickler for law and order. However, his son, Ravi believes that sometimes illegal means may be adopted in order to assert control. This causes conflict between the two. Ravi then falls in love with Editor Ramprasad's daughter, Bharathi. Bhushannath Bhadbole and Kabza Kanhaiyalal are corrupt ministers. Their sons, Kailash and Prakash respectively, rape and kill Jagatpratap's maid-servant and also kill Ravi's friend. They are acquitted because they gave fake alibis. Ravi decides to give these criminals the punishment they deserve. As Ravi knows this will cause a conflict with his father, he decides to leave home. He then becomes a police inspector. This does not heal the father-son bond as he still has different ideas about the meaning of justice. After deliberating on the statement that "the law is for human beings but not for monsters", the father finally agrees to join his son in his fight against the corrupt ministers.
