Yeshwant is a 1997 Indian action crime film directed by Anil Mattoo, produced by Vijay K.

His wife is Ragini (Madhoo) and Yeshwant wants her to concentrate on studies so that she may join the Indian Administrative Service (IAS).

Salim then spreads allegations of a love affair between them, supported by faked pictures of Frank and Ragini in a compromising position.

Salim shows the pictures to Yeshwant, who avoids Ragini during conjugal visits, and releases them to the press, discrediting her with the public.

The film was well-reviewed as a rare and thought-provoking piece, sorely needed in an era of superficial commercialized movies.

This film includes the famous line "Ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hain" ("A single mosquito can emasculate a man"), spoken by Yeshwant.

In one scene, Inspector Joshi (Shivaji Satam) interferes, trying to save some of Salim's henchmen from Yashwant.
