Mohra (transl. Pawn) is a 1994 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film co-written, edited and directed by Rajiv Rai and produced by his father Gulshan Rai. It stars Naseeruddin Shah, Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Poonam Jhawer, Raza Murad, Paresh Rawal, Gulshan Grover, and Sadashiv Amrapurkar. The film was also the first collaboration among the trio of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal, who went on to collaborate several times later on.

Following the success of Rajiv Rai's previous film Vishwatma, Divya Bharti was cast as the female lead. Due to her death very early during the production, Raveena Tandon was cast as her replacement. The film was reported to be inspired by the 1987 film Death Wish 4: The Crackdown while the climax was inspired by the 1992 Hong Kong film, Hard Boiled. The film was remade in Bengali, in Bangladesh, as Gupto Ghatak (1998).

The film was a major box office success, and went on to become the second highest-grossing Indian film of that year, behind Hum Aapke Hain Koun. It received nine Filmfare nominations in 1995 including Best film, Best director and Best Music director. Songs of the film also became huge chartbusters in that year. The film's soundtrack album sold more than 8 million units, making it the second highest-selling Bollywood soundtrack album of 1994.

Vishal Agnihotri is serving a life sentence for murdering four criminals who gang raped and killed his sister-in-law, Rita. He committed the crime after the four were acquitted by the court of law with help from a corrupt public prosecutor and soon after when the criminals again attempted to rape his wife, resulting in her suicide.

Journalist Roma Singh visits Vishal in prison and becomes a target of some of the convicts. Vishal comes to her rescue. Roma is determined to help him regain his freedom. She meets Inspector Amar Saxena to obtain Vishal's case file and love blossoms between them. Roma's boss, Mr. Jindal who is blind and the owner of Samadhan Newspaper, reopens Vishal's case by presenting new evidence to the legal authorities. The judge reviewing the case accepts the new evidence and Vishal is acquitted.

Jindal convinces Vishal that the city is full of crime and he wants him to eliminate mob bosses Jibran, Tyson and their associates, as well as Kamdev Kulkarni, the Commissioner of Police as well, for which he helped secure Vishal's release from prison. Vishal refuses saying that he cannot commit murder again, but then returns to Jindal after reminiscing his past. Vishal begins eliminating everyone on Jindal's hitlist one after the other, alternating between Jibran's gang and Tyson's gang, in order to incite a rivalry between them.

After being informed by Kashinath that Vishal is the hitman responsible for killing his gang members, Jibran calls Tyson to meet and clear up any misunderstanding. During the meeting, Vishal snipes Tyson's arm, causing both gangs to start a gang war in which most of the gangsters are killed. He then kills Tyson, but Jibran survives and stalks Vishal. Amar suspects and follows Vishal closely for the murders but is unable to gather any evidence against him.

Vishal then goes to Kamdev's house, the last target on Jindal's list, but overhears a conversation between a drunk Kamdev and Constable Kranti Kumar, when Kamdev reveals that the mysterious killer is actually benefiting society by eliminating criminals, which the police couldn't do because of the legal system. Vishal decides not to kill Kamdev, realising he is not a corrupt cop and Jibran notices this. Jindal is infuriated with Vishal for not killing Kamdev. It is then revealed that Jindal is not blind and he was using Vishal as a Mohra (pawn) to eliminate his rivals.
