Vishwatma (transl. Universal Soul) is a 1992 Indian Hindi-language action 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 song "Saat Samundar Paar" was shot at Bubbles Discothèque, a nightclub in Nairobi. The song gained a cult status among Indian audience. The film was a commercial success and 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. It proved to be a major launchpad for debutanté Divya Bharti, who went on to achieve the limelight in Bollywood.
