Aatank (English: Terror) is a 1996 Indian action thriller film written by Sachin Bhowmick and directed by Prem Lalwani and Desh Mukherjee.^[1][2] The film stars Dharmendra, Hema Malini, Vinod Mehra in the lead roles.^[3][4] The film began principal photography in the mid-1980s and was delayed for several years before being released in 1996.^[5] A sub-plot with a killer shark may have been inspired by the Hollywood film Jaws.^[5]

By the time of its release, two of its cast members, Vinod Mehra and Amjad Khan, had died. Most of the movie features a younger Dharmendra and Hema Malini, but one scene features the same actors when they were older, resulting in a continuity error. The dubbing for Amjad Khan's voice was done by a mimic artist, since he had died.^[6]
