Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Raj Khosla was known for noir thrillers like 'Mera Saaya'—this late-career mashup shows him throwing every commercial element at the wall.
The gas chamber cult subplot was bizarrely topical in 1980s India when fake godmen scandals were erupting; audiences apparently accepted this tonal whiplash.
