Hathyar (transl. Weapon) is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language action film written and directed by J. P. Dutta.[1][2] It stars Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor, Dharmendra, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Asha Parekh, Paresh Rawal and Amrita Singh. It has never had an official DVD release from distributors but converted video prints of the film are available.

Plot

Avinash (Sanjay Dutt) and his parents (Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Asha Parekh) come to Bombay where they miserably scrape along. Sometimes their acquaintance with Samiulla Khan (Rishi Kapoor), the younger brother of the underworld crime lord Khushal Khan (Dharmendra), is quite helpful as Sami, who refuses to deal with his brother's business, enjoys a good reputation. But after some bitter experiences, Avinash's father cannot stand his poor situation anymore and commits suicide. Now Avinash bears the responsibility to be the family's breadwinner which he, as he doesn't manage to find a job, is unable to fulfill. Desperately (and instigated by his friend Satyajeet Puri (Pakya) from the local gang) he starts stealing. After having killed one of his victims, he gets more and more bogged down in the mire of crime – and gets into the rivalry between the gang bosses Khushal Khan and Rajan Anna (Paresh Rawal).
