Nazrana [Insight] was released in 1987 after the tragic demise of Smita Patil and was dedicated to the late actress. Directed by Ravi Tandon (father of Raveena Tandon), the film stars Rajesh Khanna, Smita Patil and Sridevi in the lead roles, Shafi Inamdar, Priti Sapru and Dalip Tahil in supporting roles. Music by Laxmikant Pyarelal.
The dubbed voice of Sridevi is slightly jarring for her fans and if you watch the film closely, Sri's weight fluctuates throughout the movie, the fashion and makeup changes dramatically as the film was shot over a long period of time. With stalwarts like Rajesh Khanna (and his signature "stylised" acting) and legendary actress Smita Patil, Sridevi provided the oomph and glamour to the movie, along with her trademark dancing abilities. Not one to be underestimated, in each of the dramatic scenes, young Sridevi held her ground and ended up being the most memorable part of the film.
The movie went through many ups and downs - in particular when Patil passed away before its release and the cast and crew pulled together to complete the film and honoured her memory.
