AK-47 is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Raam Shetty. A remake of the Kannada film of the same name, the film stars Aditya Singh, Sheetal Bhavishi, Om Puri, Shivaji Satam and Ashish Vidyarthi. Unlike the original, the film was released to negative reviews.
Producer Hasmukh Shah didn't want the film to get embroiled in controversy, so the character named Dawood (alluding to Dawood Ibrahim) was renamed as Dadua.[1]
Soundtrack was composed by Sajid-Wajid.[2]
Subhash K. Jha of IANS wrote that "Shrill, shallow and shrieked-out AK-47 is the pavement-friendly actioner that you thought had ceased manufacture in Bollywood's dream factory. But it's back. And what can we do about it?"[3] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film one-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote that "On the whole, AK 47 is an ordinary fare".[4]
