Hum Paanch (English: We Five) is a 1980 Bollywood film directed by Bapu and produced by Boney Kapoor. The film features a huge all-star cast including Sanjeev Kumar, Shabana Azmi, Mithun Chakraborty, Naseeruddin Shah, Raj Babbar, Gulshan Grover and Amrish Puri. A young Anil Kapoor who is producer Boney Kapoor's brother has a cameo appearance.
The movie was remade from a kannada movie, Paduvarahalli Pandavaru. Puttana Kanagal who was the director of the kannada original was the co-writer of the Hindi remake. The movie was an interesting adaptation of the Mahabharata, fit to a rural scenario with some obvious hints to the various clashes between the Pandavas and the Kauravas and to the characters in the epic.
