Trivia:
The movie was announced in 1987, but Amitabh Bachchan did not commit any dates for its shooting. During that period Amitabh attended a party in which Prakash Mehra was also present. Prakash Mehra got drunk and blasted Amitabh in front of entire film industry for not giving preference to Jadugar. Prakash Mehra said Amitabh has forgotten how he was the one that gave Amitabh Bachchan a break in Zanjeer (1973) etc. Everybody thought that after this incident Mr Mehra can forget about Jadugar. But after the party Amitabh went home and picked up his phone.He dialed Praksh Mehra no and said, "who said I'm not doing your Jadugar? Just count me in on it." more

A classic stink!, 20 May 2006
4/10
Author: vsathe from United States

This movie is a classic example of the terrible movies Amitabh acted in late 80's. Really childish, overacted and long movie. About the only thing notable about this movie is the title song sung by Kumar Sanu marks his entry in Hindi movie industry in a big way (he had a couple of stints before it.)

If you liked "Shahenshah" there is a chance you might like this movie. Songs are so-so, acting is mediocre. There is too much silly/bad Amitabh in this movie even for an Amitabh fan like me. I watched this movie in theater when it came out and had to force myself to stay in there only because I had paid 7 bucks to watch it.
