Abbas–Mustan are an Indian filmmaker duo consisting of brothers Abbas Alibhai Burmawalla and Mustan Alibhai Burmawalla, working in Hindi cinema and known for directing stylish suspense, action and romantic thrillers with dark-lit themes.
Early life and career Abbas Burmawalla, Mustan Burmawalla, and their brother Hussain Burmawalla began their career as editors in films. They later joined as assistant director of Govindbhai Patel to do several films. When Patel refused an opportunity to direct the Gujarati film Sajan Tara Sambharana (1985), Abbas–Mustan received their first break to direct the movie, launching their career.
Their first Hindi movie as directors was Agneekaal in 1990. Since then, they have directed more than 14 Hindi movies. They eventually launched their own production house called Burmawalla Partners.
The Asian Academy of Film & Television honoured both of them with the Life Membership of International Film and Television Club.
