Edi Dharmam Edi Nyayam (transl.Which is justice, which is duty?) is a 1982 Indian Telugu-language thriller film[1] simultaneously made in Tamil as Neethi Devan Mayakkam (transl.Judge's dilemma). Directed by Bapu, the film stars Bhanu Chander and Madhavi. Kamal Haasan acted as Military Officer in a guest appearance in the Tamil version and in Telugu by Krishna. The film was a remake of the Hindi film Insaf Ka Tarazu, which in turn was a remake of the 1976 Hollywood film Lipstick.
