In the early 1980s, he suffered a major setback when some of his films turned out to be major flops at the box office like Oonche Log, Bombay 405 Miles, and Magroor. The string of flops ended with the success of Taqdeer and Mardon Wali Baat.

Sadanah died on 21 October 1990 in Mumbai. He shot himself dead at his residence after killing his wife and daughter in an inebriated state. Incidentally, the day was also his son Kamal Sadanah's birthday.[1][2]
