Vishwatma
Vishwatma (transl. Universal Soul) is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language thriller film directed by Rajiv Rai and produced by Gulshan Rai. It stars an ensemble cast of Naseeruddin Shah, Sunny Deol, Chunky Pandey, Sonam, Divya Bharti (in her Hindi debut), Jyostna Singh, Raza Murad, Gulshan Grover and Amrish Puri.
The story of the film revolves around an Indian police officer, who is tasked to capture a powerful, internationally operating crime lord and bring him back to India.
Vishwatma marked Rai's third directorial venture after Tridev (1989) and was initially planned to be a sequel to the same. It was the most-expensive Indian film at the time of its production; being extensively shot in Kenya and the first Indian film to be shot there. The chartbuster song 'Saat Samundar Paar' was shot at Bubbles Discothèque, a popular nightclub in Nairobi in those days. The modern-sounding song struck a chord and still enjoys a massive cult status among Indian audience.
The film received critical acclaim upon release from contemporary as well as modern critics, with praise drawn towards its screenplay and action sequences. It earned over ₹95 million in its total theatrical run worldwide and was the sixth highest-grossing Indian film of 1992. The soundtrack created a rage and was very much successful. It proved to be a major launchpad for debutanté Divya Bharti, who went on to achieve the limelight in Bollywood.
Inspector Prabhat Singh is an honest and dedicated Indian police officer, but he usually has no time for his family and due to this, his father is constantly at loggerheads with him. Prabhat's father believes in peace and opposes violence. Prabhat is now placed on a mission to apprehend the most dreaded crime Lord, Ajgar Jurrat, who currently lives in Kenya but operates in India. Ajgar has a rivalry with another Crime Lord, Madan Bharadwaj. Ajgar plans to kill Madan and his brothers in a single move. But the youngest Bharadwaj brother, Akash, who is not involved in any criminal activities of his mafia brothers, overhears Ajgar. He tries to stop Ajgar but fails when Prabhat arrives at the scene and arrests Akash while Ajgar's gang flees from the spot. Akash requests Prabhat to save his brothers. Prabhat goes to Bharadwaj's place but Ajgar was able to eliminate the Bhardwajs before his arrival and Ajgar's son Rajnag, raped Madan's wife, the lone survivor of the massacre. While escaping, Ajgar's brother, Nagdansh was fatally shot by Prabhat.
Ajgar, enraged by the death of his younger brother, abducts and kills Prabhat's younger brother, Munna. Prabhat's family is devastated and his father blames him for Munna's death and disowns him. Prabhat leaves his job and moves to a remote corner of a distant village in India, where he takes in an orphan named Babu, who is his only friend.
With Ajgar's increasing criminal activities, the police commissioner decides to approach Prabhat as he is the only one who can capture Ajgar and take him back to India. After seeing the necessity of the situation, Prabhat's father also changes his mind and decides to apologise for disowning Prabhat. To make amends, he tries to persuade Prabhat to take on the mission to capture Ajgar and bring him to justice.
Prabhat agrees to take on the mission but insists that Akash also assist him, to which Akash agrees. They take the flight to Kenya. Meanwhile, Babu goes to live with Prabhat's family.
