Trivia:
When the film was complete and ready for release, Prakash Mehra and Amitabh Bachchan had a fallout. Prakash Mehra felt cheated that Amitabh should have informed him about the magician's role he was doing in Toofan (1989). He requested Amitabh for two weeks of shooting, so that he could change Jadugar a bit before its release,but Amitabh Bachchan refused. moreFAQ

Bad script! Bad Direction! Things gone haywire!
Prakash Mehra and Amitabh Bachchan made a very good pair in past. Great entertainment in history. The movie could have been a good one, considering it had a novel theme. A Fake Godman (Amrish Puri) exposed and in turn defeated by a magician (Amitabh Bachchan) in his own game! The icing was the magician is brought to game by none other than the son of the Godman (Aditya Pancholi).
But the script was lost, at times songs and dialogue become vulgure. Acting is average and the movie, it appears was made only for the front benchers, and was perhaps even rejected by them.
There are some shades of past brillience, on screen its not worth, but on vedio / DVD - thanks to technology - we can fast forward what we don't like. This movie perhaps can be watched in double quick time.
