Trivia
Upon arriving on the films sets, Raaj Kumar realized that Dilip Kumar's character spoke Hindi with a U.P. BIhari dialect. This angered him as he was to speak regular Hindi in the film and he was not told about Dilip's characters Hindi. He told Subash Ghai he was quitting the film right there and then and returning back to Bombay. Subhash Ghai had to go and convince Raaj Kumar for two hours to remain in the film. Ghai reasoned that Raaj Kumar's character was rich and royal where as Dilip's was a poor lower cast character. Hearing this Raaj Kumar finally relented and stayed in the film.

Goofs
Monty, Chuniya mama's (Amrish Puri) son, by relation is Gajja and Deven's (Dalip Tahil and Anand Balraj's) first cousin. Which would make Monty, Radha's (Manisha Koirala's) uncle. Yet the movie showed Monty wanting to marry Radha when by religion and blood relation this is not permitted especially in Hindu culture.

Typical 90s fare

Typical early 90s movie. It might be a bit difficult to enjoy this one in 2024. Manisha does what is expected of her - she looks pretty, dances and cries. Vivek Mushran doesn't add much value; his highlight of the film are his impish expressions in the song ILU. Deepti Naval isn't given much to do. Jackie Shroff is good in his blink and miss role. The usual roster of baddies are also there - Amrish, Dalip and Gulshan Grover. There is a bit of everything - mellow-drama, enmity, love story, friendship, scenery and a couple of good songs. The highlight of this film are no doubt Raaj & Dilip Kumar. Raaj is majestic and Dilip is an enigma. Watching them together onscreen is like watching history in the making, you cant take your eyes off of them. Expectedly, they outperform everyone else. The story between their characters is what drives the film and if you are a fan of either of them (especially Raaj Kumar) than you will enjoy this but if you are looking for something new, I would give this one a skip.
