Trivia
Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla were a hit screen pair involved in hit films such as Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Hum Hain Rahin Pyar Ke (1993). But because of a prank Aamir played on Juhi during the filming of this movie, Juhi refused to do any more projects with Aamir Khan for almost a decade. However the two have made up.

Quotes

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, for the film's original theatrical and home entertainment releases a pre-cut version was used. However, upon a later re-submission to the BBFC for a DVD re-release the original unedited version was submitted to the BBFC for formal classification. Upon this submission cuts were required to two scenes of violence (slash to face with pitchfork, kick to crotch) to bring this version in line with earlier pre-cut version which was passed PG. These cuts made in accordance with former BBFC policy still used at the time of submission on different video versions of the same work.

high voltage

The film is one of the best films of all time.All the characters steal the show.But the most beautiful comes when the ladies have a good bonding and handle each other. As brothers Aamir and Ajay are perfect.The scene when Aamir tries to escape the other is hilarious. The fights b/w Kajol and Aamir is also funny. The plot gets serious and Kajol is supported by Aamir as a best friend. There is plot and it is beautifully executed with super songs. The climax is expected but the change in the fathers minds is surprising. There is a friendship b/w each other and is also good because of the background scores. Each character get equal role in each segment. Overall a wonderful creation that makes us watch every time we see it.
