A remake of his own Tamil film Vaettiya Madichu Kattu (1998), it stars Krishan Kumar, Nagma (reprising her role from the original) and Master Bobby. The film focuses on a meek man who lives a peaceful life with his wife and son. However, things contort after he witnesses a murder committed by a dreaded gangster. It was released on 28 July 2000 and failed commercially.
Jai Prakash, an engineer, lives peacefully with his wife Pooja and son Sonu. The latter believes his father is a macho, but this is not true; Jai is meek, to the point that he would surrender rather than fight. But when Jai witnesses a murder committed by the dreaded gangster Raka, he must find the courage to testify in court.
जय प्रकाश, एक इंजीनियर, अपनी पत्नी पूजा और बेटे सोनू के साथ शांति से रहता है। सोनू को लगता है कि उसके पिता एक मर्दाना इंसान हैं, लेकिन यह सच नहीं है; जय इतना विनम्र है कि वह आत्मसमर्पण करने को तैयार है लेकिन जब जय खूंखार गैंगस्टर राका द्वारा की गई हत्या का गवाह बनता है, तो उसे अदालत में गवाही देने का साहस जुटाना पड़ता है।
Papa The Great was released on 28 July 2000.[4] Critic Taran Adarsh wrote for Bollywood Hungama, "On the whole, [Papa The Great] lacks in qualities to have a safe ride at the box-office."[6] On the contrary, K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote that "IF you miss having good family stories in Hindi movies, this film is just for you".[7] Made on a budget of ₹17,500,000 (equivalent to ₹72 million or US$870,000 in 2023), the film grossed ₹6,744,750 (US$81,000) worldwide, thus becoming a box-office bomb.[4]
