Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Rajesh Khanna's final film appearance, released posthumously after his 2012 death. He reportedly completed dubbing while already ill.
The film attempts to transplant Coppola's Godfather framework onto Mumbai's underworld, a template later perfected by Ram Gopal Varma's Satya and Sarkar.
