Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was part of Rajesh Khanna's desperate 80s comeback attempt after his superstar reign collapsed, and he reportedly did his own stunts to prove his viability.

Cultural

The film exemplifies the 'lost and found' revenge template that dominated 80s Bombay cinema, where mother's death = mandatory hero transformation.
