Army (Hindi: आर्मी, Urdu: آرمی‎) is a 1996 Bollywood action film directed by Raam Shetty. The film stars Sridevi, Shahrukh Khan, Danny Denzongpa amongst others in lead roles. It released on 28 June 1996 and it was a hit at the box office. The movie was reported to be inspired by Sholay.

The story follows Major Arjun Singh (Shahrukh Khan), a dutiful army officer and the brother-in-law of acclaimed Jailer Raghuvir Singh (Kiran Kumar). He is in love with Geeta (Sridevi), and they get married, and become proud parents. Arjun soon gets involved in the bad books of a notorious gangster named Naagraj (Danny Denzongpa). Arjun starts working undercover in Nagraj's gang, but soon enough, Nagraj is informed about Arjun's real identity, and Arjun is brutally killed. When Geeta finds out she decides to avenge Arjun's death. When Naagraj finds out that Geeta is out for vengeance, he scoffs at her, refusing to believe that a lone defenseless widow can do him any harm. But Naagraj is in for a surprise when he comes face to face with Geeta and a group of young convicted men on the run who are dedicated to bring him down - even if they die trying.

Army grossed ₹11.04 crore (US$1.7 million) in India and $85,000 (₹29.96 lakh) in other countries, for a worldwide total of ₹11.33 crore (US$1.8 million), against its ₹4 crore (US$620,000) budget.
