Apanjan, or simply Aponjon (English: One's own people) is a 1968 Indian Bengali language socio-political drama film directed by Tapan Sinha.
It consists of an ensemble cast of Chhaya Devi, Swarup Dutta, Samit Bhanja, Mrinal Mukherjee, Partho Mukherjee, Kalyan Chatterjee and Shyamal Banerjee in lead roles, with Bhanu Bandopadhyay, Rabi Ghosh, Chinmoy Roy and Dilip Roy in extended cameo appearances.
Set against the backdrop of the political violence that rocked India, and West Bengal in particular, in the late 1960s, it tells the story of an aged widow in a village who goes to Calcutta to stay with relatives, but faces only exploitation.
After its release, the Government of West Bengal declared the film to be tacs-free and it eventually gained a cult status in the history of Bengali cinema.
The mannerism of Robi and Chheno, two central characters from the film played by Swarup Dutta and Samit Bhanja respectively, became memorable among the masses.
They are part of the 'family' of Robi, the leader of a gang of educated young men who are active participants in the street violence that engulfs the city.
