Vidhaata review :
A Subhash Ghai directorial for noted producer Gulshan Rai; Vidhaata was a revenge drama where veterans Dilip Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar and Shammi Kapoor stole the show. Sanjay Dutt, the actual hero of the film, was going through his drug phase and sleepwalked through the film. Director Subhash Ghai openly regreted casting him though they worked together later in the highly successful Khalnayak (1993).
Amrish Puri was the main villain playing ally to his real life brother Madan Puri. Kalyanji Anandji's music became popular and the 'Saat Saheliyan' number got in to a controversy just like Khalnayak's 'Choli Ke Peeche'.
Both, Padmini Kolhapure as a Marathi bellè and the ever beautiful Sarika, were pure eye candies; nothing more. Sanju Baba's chemistry with them was zilch but fortunately, it didnt matter at all as Vidhaata had a strong script and stellar direction by Ghai.
The confrontation scenes between Dilip Kumar and Sanjeev Kumar were the films highlight and the audience just lapped it up. Sanju's non performance included!!!
