Tezaab (Hindi: तेज़ाब, Urdu: تیزاب, translation: "Acid"), released on 11 November 1988, is an Indian Action romantic Hindi movie. The film gave actress Madhuri Dixit her first big break, making her an overnight star. It reaffirmed Anil Kapoor's star status, after a successful Mr India (1987).
The film was produced and directed by N. Chandra. The music is by Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Tezaab is known for the song "Ek Do Teen," which was a chart success. It ran in theatres for more than 50 weeks becoming a golden jubilee, and it was the highest blockbuster at the box office for the year 1988 in Bollywood. With Tezaab, N Chandra scored a box office hat-trick with his previous hits Ankush (1986) and Pratighaat (1987).
Tezaab was critically acclaimed and garnered four Filmfare Awards from twelve nominations. Anil Kapoor won his first Best Actor award and Madhuri Dixit garnered her first ever nomination for Best Actress at Filmfare.
The film was remade in Telugu as Two Town Rowdy with Daggubati Venkatesh. The plot is loosely based on the commercially failed Hollywood movie Streets of Fire (1984) directed by Walter Hill.
