Meri Jung is a 1985 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Subhash Ghai, starring Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Seshadri, Nutan, and Amrish Puri in pivotal roles. The film explores the themes of injustice, corruption, and the power of law. Meri Jung was a major commercial success and received critical acclaim for its story, performances, and music.

The plot of the film revolves around the young advocate Arun Verma (Anil Kapoor) who is newly married to his childhood sweetheart Geeta (Meenakshi Seshadri). His father Justice Verma (Girish Karnad) is one of the most respected judges in the country, and Arun's ambition is to follow in his footsteps. However, when Arun is asked to defend a notorious criminal, he refuses, leading to a chain of events that change his life forever.

The criminal he refused to defend, Kumar (Javed Jaffrey), is the son of a powerful and corrupt politician Thakral (Amrish Puri). Thakral uses his influence to frame Arun for a crime he did not commit, resulting in Arun being sent to jail. In prison, he is subjected to brutal torture and cruelty, leading to the death of his fellow inmate, who was falsely accused by the police.

Once released, Arun becomes disillusioned with the justice system and decides to take matters into his own hands. He approaches the senior lawyer Ashok Sinha (Nutan) who helps him in his quest for justice. Arun's mission is to bring Thakral and his son to justice and expose their corrupt activities. With the help of his wife and Ashok Sinha, Arun sets out on a dangerous path where he must face corruption, danger, and betrayal.

The film is a gripping action thriller that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The fight scenes are well choreographed, and the climax is a nail-biting sequence that will keep you hooked till the end. Meri Jung has some excellent performances from the entire cast, especially Anil Kapoor, who is outstanding as the young lawyer seeking justice.

The songs are memorable and have become classics, with tracks like 'Zindagi Har Kadam', 'O Mere Khwabon Ke Shehzade', and 'Bol Baby Bol Rock n Roll' still being popular today. The romantic track 'Yaar Bina Chain Kahan Re' between Anil Kapoor and Meenakshi Seshadri is still considered one of the most iconic romantic songs in Indian cinema.
