Goofs
Arun Verma (played by Anil Kapoor) drinks a bottle concealed as poison in the court room, then escorted to Dr. Dinesh Mathur's private clinic for treatment, Dr. Asha Mathur and Geeta Mathur arrived there. In one visual shot (outside the clinic), Geeta Mathur can clearly be seen rushing inside the clinic followed by Dr. Asha Mathur. In very next shot (Inside the clinic) Dr. Asha Mathur entered first in the clinic followed by Geeta Mathur.

Legal Drama with 1980s Indian Stereotypical Patriarchal trash

Pure unadulterated 1980s Cringe: Example of 1980s Indian dating shown are: The Ex comes to the guys current girlfriends house to expose his him as a cheat. She shows her "love letters" he wrote to her ALSO!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😍. HE then *KILLS* the ex girlfriend out in the open, lmaooo. Can't get cringier with 1980s Bollywood.

1980s Indian law: Person gets hanged within minutes of judgement. No need for Death Row in india.

This movie is just DATED, period. Mentions of "Madhouses" (Indian vernacular for Pyschiatric Institution), lawyers TOUCHING women in the witness stand, screaming in court, confessing crimes within earshot of anyone. The bad guy DRINKING ALCOHOL! Just nuts. But HILARIOUS to watch anyway.

Best part: Nutan! What a beauty.
