Toolsidas Junior is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language sports drama film written and directed by Mridul Mahendra and produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashutosh Gowariker and Sunita Gowariker under T-Series Films and Ashutosh Gowariker Productions. Based on Mahendra's own life and childhood, it stars Sanjay Dutt, Rajiv Kapoor in his final and posthumous screen appearance, Dalip Tahil and debutante Varun Buddhadev, and tells the story of Midi, a young boy in Calcutta who decides to fulfill his father's dream by playing as the titular snooker player when his father, an ace player, loses a crucial streak in a tournament to the wicked Jimmy Tandon, an arch-nemesis.[2][3][4] The film marks Dutt's reunion with Gowariker after Panipat: The Great Betrayal and Gowariker's first production not to be directed by him.

At the 68th National Film Awards, Toolsidas Junior won two National Film Awards: Best Feature Film in Hindi, and National Jury Award — Special Mention for Buddhadev.
