Aaj Ki Awaaz (transl. Voice of the day) is a 1984 Indian Hindi-language vigilante action film directed by Ravi Chopra[1] and produced by B. R. Chopra. The film stars Raj Babbar, Smita Patil, Nana Patekar, and Vijay Arora. The film's music is by Ravi. The film is based on 1982 Hollywood movie Death Wish II. It tells the story of a professor who becomes a vigilante after his sister is raped and his mother is killed. This film was remade in Telugu in 1985 as Nyayam Meere Cheppali, in Tamil in 1985 as Naan Sigappu Manithan and in Kannada in 2000 as Mahatma.
The censor-board certificate of the movie shows 'Re-revised', implying that censor board objected to certain scenes of the movie, and cleared the movie when it was re-edited. The producers of the movie have been subsequently criticized by many for filming sexual assault scenes in a gratuitous way.[2][3]
