Flame and Dew drops) is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language action romantic comedy film directed and edited by David Dhawan and written by Anees Bazmee, Rajeev Kaul and Praful Parekh.

Eventually becoming the fourth highest-grossing Indian film of 1992, it grossed about ₹10.7 crore (US$9.3 million) and provided breakthrough to its cast members.

Anupam Kher received acclaim for his portrayal of Major Indramohan Lathi and was nominated for Best Comic Actor at the 38th Filmfare Awards.

The spoiled and arrogant brother, Bali (Mohnish Behl), of notorious gangster, Kali Baba (Gulshan Grover), enlists in the National Cadet Corp, and wants to have his way with his fellow-students and trainer, Inder Mohan Lathi (Anupam Kher), with comical results.

Circumstances act against them, and they flee together, with Kali Baba's men, and Divya's Police Commissioner dad, Yashpal Thapa (Alok Nath), in hot pursuit, to an unknown destination, surrounded by a web of lies, deception, and no known resource to assist them.

Sukanya Verma from Rediff.com praised the performances of Govinda, Divya Bharti and Anupam Kher, but was critical to its story which she addressed to be a "comic-romantic-potboiler" and that in the film "logic is entirely tossed out of the window".
