Qatl is a 1986 Indian mystery thriller film directed by R.K. Nayyar and starring Sanjeev Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Marc Zuber, Ranjeeta Kaur, Sarika, and Ashok Kumar. The film was released two months after Sanjeev Kumar's death and was the first of his several posthumous releases. It has been adapted from an American TV movie In Broad Daylight (1971), directed by Robert Day. The movie was remade in Kannada in 2008 as Sanchu.

Rakesh (Kumar) is a blind man with an attractive wife, Rohini (Sarika). Unknown to him, his wife is having an affair with another man, Ranjeet (Zuber), behind his back. When Rakesh's wife is murdered in her paramour's home, he is the only suspect. Now, it is to be seen whether a blind man can pull a perfect murder single-handedly.
