Remember Pratibha Sinha, the 'Pardesi pardesi' song girl, overshadowed Karisma Kapoor, tough to recognise after 29 years
If you have been a movie fan since the 90s and have seen the beautiful era of Hindi movies, then the superhit song 'Pardesi Pardesi Jaana Nahi' from 'Raja Hindustani' will still be fresh in your memories. In this song, an actress was seen who caught everyone's attention despite the lead actress Karisma Kapoor. She overshadowed Karisma Kapoor with her kajraari eyes and desi style. People became crazy about this heroine along with this song. This actress was none other than Pratibha Sinha, who is the daughter of veteran actress Mala Sinha. When Pratibha entered the film industry, everyone felt that she would make a long and bright career like her mother. She debuted with Sujoy Mukherjee in 1992, but she got real recognition from the song of the 1996 blockbuster 'Raja Hindustani'. The actress has been missing for years
This song became so popular that a glimpse of Pratibha made her the talk of the town overnight. After this she worked in films like 'Dil Hai Betaab', 'Pokiri Raja', 'Deewana Mastana', 'Koi Kisi Se Kam Nahin', 'Zanjeer' and 'Military Raja'. There was a glimpse of simplicity and confidence in her acting, but this shine did not last long. By the year 2000, she suddenly said goodbye to the film world and showbiz completely. No interviews, no social events, no public appearances, Pratibha disappeared. However, recently her presence at a saree exhibition in Mumbai surprised everyone. People could not recognise her after 29 years
When people saw her after about 29 years, they could not recognize her. In such a situation, her pictures have gone viral on social media and she has become a topic of discussion. She bought 8-10 saris at the exhibition and talked to the people present there comfortably. Not only this, on this occasion she herself revealed that now her name is Pratibha Lohani.
This was the name of the actress before coming into films. 'Lohani' is the nickname of her father Chidambaram Prasad Lohani, who has been a famous actor of Nepal. In the picture that has surfaced, the actress's gray hair is visible and there are also wrinkles on her face. Apart from this, she carried a simple black outfit. She was seen smiling. After seeing her, people are saying, 'She is not even recognizable.'
Pratibha Sinha's personal life was also in the headlines. Her name was linked with famous music director Nadeem Saifi. Both of them met during films, and slowly this relationship started deepening. However, this relationship was never approved by Mala Sinha. Nadeem Saifi was not only already married, but also belonged to a different religion. Mala Sinha did not like this. After this, Pratibha came in front of the media and clearly said that neither did she ever marry Nadeem, nor does she love him. Nadeem was badly broken after this statement. He claimed in an interview that Mala Sinha mentally tortured his family, abused them over the phone and tried to ruin his life. Where is Pratibha Sinha now?
Now that Pratibha Sinha has come in front of everyone once again, her fans are happy to know that she is living a happy and peaceful life. She is no longer associated with films and has preferred a private life away from the glare of the media. Pratibha Sinha's story is of an artist who saw fame, faced controversies, and then distanced herself from that world. She lives in Mumbai, away from the world of glamour.

Thaman S's background score heightens the drama effectively, and the cinematography offers a gritty, lived-in aesthetic. Action sequences, while often overindulgent, are slick and impactful. The dialogues, penned by Saurabh Gupta and Sai Madhav Burra, are over-the-top and theatrical—often more memorable than the scenes themselves.'However, the same review pointed out that the narrative pacing became a concern after the interval.
