Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released during peak Mithun mania, this film crystallizes the 1980s 'angry young man' archetype that Amitabh Bachchan pioneered but Mithun made distinctly working-class and accessible.
The 163-minute runtime was considered standard for masala films of this era, which demanded at least three emotional peaks, two romantic interludes, and one funeral scene minimum.
