Apne () is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language sports drama film directed by Anil Sharma. It stars Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Katrina Kaif and Shilpa Shetty. It is the first film to feature Dharmendra, and his real-life sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol together. Previously, Sunny and Bobby had worked together in Dillagi (1999), and Dharmendra and Sunny had also appeared together in Sultanat (1986) and Kshatriya (1993). The story revolves around Baldev Chaudhary (Dharmandra), a disgraced former heavyweight boxer, who tries to wash a stain in his boxing career through his sons Angad and Karan (Sunny and Bobby Deol). The theme of a disgruntled retired boxer seeking personal redemption through a boxer son had been explored earlier in Hindi cinema, in Boxer (1984). Dharmendra had earlier played the role of a boxer in the film Main Intequam Loonga (1982). Footage from that film is used as flashback scenes in this film to show Baldev's career as a boxer. Both Boxer (1984) and Apne (2007) took inspirations from the Rocky movies. While Boxer is inspired only by the first two Rocky movies, Apne is inspired by the first six Rocky movies.
The film was released on 29 June 2007, and received positive reviews from critics and emerged as a commercial success at the box office.
