Maha-Sangram (also known in the UK as The Big Battle) is a 1990 Bollywood romance film directed by Mukul Anand and starring Vinod Khanna, Aditya Pancholi, Govinda and Madhuri Dixit.

The film is best known for bringing Aditya Pancholi into the limelight as it was his show-stealing performance and his first commercial success in Bollywood. His performance as the angry villain Thakur was critically acclaimed and widely accepted, thus becoming the main reason of the movie's success.

Uttar Pradesh-based Vishal gets a telegram from Santa Cruz Police Station that his younger collegian brother, Arjun, is dead. Distraught he travels to Bombay, collects his brothers ashes, and finds out that Arjun met a violent death. With the aid of a street-smart con-woman and her mentor, Babu Kasai Hyderabadi, he then sets out to find who killed his brother - not knowing that soon he will be drawn into the dark world of Godha and Vishwaraj. The film also features Suraj, also known as Chota Godha.

The soundtrack is composed by Anand Milind. The item number "Dhak Dhak Dhak" features vocals by Alisha Chinai with a few lines rendered by Aditya Pancholi, who has acted in the movie.
