Gunday (English: Outlaws) is a 2014 Indian action thriller film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra. The film features Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor in the lead roles with Priyanka Chopra and Irrfan Khan in a supporting roles. The film starts off in the 1970s, with the introduction of 2 young boys: Bikram and Bala, who initially become gun carriers and later coal bandits. They ultimately grow up to become the most powerful goons of Calcutta. The film was released on 14 February 2014.

The film also released in Bengali with a full Bengali soundtrack also composed by Sohail Sen. Though, in some of the Bengali songs, the singers differ from the original. This was also the first Indian film to have its trailer premiere at the Dubai International Film Festival.

The film opens with the narration of the historic event of the independence of Bangladesh after the third Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Amongst the desolate people affected by the partition are two orphan kids: Bikram and Bala. A man named Lateef (Pankaj Tripathi) happens to meet them, offers them nourishment and asks them if they'll work for him in the illegal smuggling of guns. The two kids agree and manage to do so successfully, using all the tricks of the trade. One day, the chief army officer that Lateef supplies guns to asks Lateef to leave one of the two boys behind to be his personal sex slave, or else he'll forcibly take Lateef's daughter. Bikram hears this and tells Lateef that he'll stay behind in order to save Bala. Bala, however, refuses to part with his best friend and comes back to save Bikram. Bala saves Bikram from the lecherous officer and they both kill him in the process - thereby becoming "partners in crime". As the army chases after the duo, Lateef tries to protect the kids, but in the ensuing skirmish Lateef is killed by the police.
