About Naam O Nishan
Suraj (Sanjay Dutt), a police inspector, grew up in a wealthy family headed by his police inspector father, Sangram (Shashi Kapoor), but when his sister's wedding falls apart due to Sangram's refusal to remove his brother from the house, Suraj confronts some family skeletons. Soon Suraj finds himself arrested for murder, and the woman he loves, Vanisha (Amrita Singh), may be implicated in this action-packed thriller from India.
Directed by Ajay Kashyap, Naam O Nishan leans on a strong ensemble — Shashi Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Amrita Singh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1987.
