Mrityudand (transl. Death Sentence) is an Indian Hindi drama film released in 1997. It was directed and produced by Prakash Jha and stars Madhuri Dixit, Shabana Azmi, Ayub Khan, Mohan Agashe and Om Puri.
The film is a commentary on social and gender injustice.[4] As with his other movies, Jha focuses on the social problems of his native state of Bihar, and Mrityudand straddles the boundary between artistic and commercial films. It includes semi-classical music, tuned by Anand–Milind and Raghunath Seth and worded by Javed Akhtar. The film was critically acclaimed and is considered to be one of Dixit's best performances.[5][6][7]
