Yuddho (or Juddho; English: War) is a 2005 Indian Bengali-language vigilante action thriller film written and directed by Ravi Kinnagi. Produced by Shrikant Mohta under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films, it stars Mithun Chakraborty and Jeet, two biggest superstars of Bengal for the first time together, along with Debashree Roy, Koel Mallick and Rajatava Dutta in lead roles, while Bharat Kaul, Kaushik Banerjee, Sumit Ganguly, Sanjib Dasgupta and N. K. Salil play another pivotal roles.[5] The story revolves around a police officer who is falsely accused of murdering his wife and imprisoned as he has been investigating a rape case that involves the younger brother of a powerful MLA. The officer then manages to evade the prison and get his revenge.

The screenplay and dialogue of the film were written by N. K. Salil. The music of the film was composed by Jeet Gannguli, with the action sequences by Judo Ramu.[1] It was an all-time blockbuster at the box office with a long run consisting of 180 days in the theatres and also became the highest-grossing Bengali film of 2005.[4]

Massively, Yuddho got positive reviews from the critics and audiences. Choreography of the car and bike chasing sequences was praised by the critics, with performances by the entire cast particularly the electrifying chemistry among Mithun Chakraborty, Jeet and Rajatava Dutta. After the broadcast of Sangeet Bangla, all the songs of the film aired on it and became chartbusters breaking all records during its release.
