This Hindi language drama tells the story of three prison inmates who are all awaiting execution. Each confined by three walls and a row of bars, a lawyer, a simpleton, and a con-man all bide their time until their lives end, until they are visited by Chandrika, a woman who has fled an abusive husband, and is filming a documentary about the death row inmates. As Chandrika forms a kind of friendship with each of the men, the future begins to look different, even for those whose futures seemed to be set in stone. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Bollywood director Raj N. Sippy's police procedural thriller Case No. 2001 follows two cops - a veteran (Jackie Shroff) and a risk-loving neophyte (Rajat Bedi) - as they attempt to solve an enigmatic series of homicides. The serial killer in question sports an m.o. that involves leaving the number "2001" at the scene of each slaying. As he proceeds to terrorize the urban landscape, the city virtually explodes with tension; to pin him down, the partnered officers courageously step into the seedy underworld and routinely confront the most loathsome criminals in town. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

After a seven-year self-imposed exile from cinema, acclaimed filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra returns to the director's chair for this tale about a Royal Guardsman and expert marksman whose loyalty to the crown is the stuff of legend. Eklavya (Amitabh Bachchan) lives for one reason and one reason only: to protect Devigarh at all costs. For nine generations, Eklavya's family has protected Rajasthan's centuries-old citadel, and Eklavya's staunch dedication has even inspired loving ballads by the people of the kingdom. Whether guarding the royals themselves or just their secrets, Eklavya could always be counted on to see his job through to the bitter end. These days, however, Eklavya is getting old and his eyesight is failing. Though royal heir Prince Harshwardhan (Saif Ali Khan) had once fled to London in hopes of escaping the suffocating customs of his land, the death of Rani Suhasinidevi (Sharmila Tagore) has now prompted him to return to Devigarh and embrace his true fate. As new royalty comes in and old loyalty clings to life, Devigarh is about to experience one of the most sizable shifts the kingdom has ever witnessed. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Sanjay Dutt, who also starred in 1989's Hathyar and Ilaaka, tops the cast of the East Indian Hum Bhi Insaan Hai.

The Dutt-Neelam relationship is saved by the intervention of Jacki Shroff, the man whom Prada had been forced to reject. Hum Bhi Insaan Hai was based on a story by Kallai Mani. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

For reasons best known to Indian audiences, who seem to enjoy spending the entire day at the movies, the minimalist Main Tera Dushman clocks in at 165 minutes! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
