This movie has a lot in common with "Deewana", which was released a week later. Both were blockbusters at the box office. They both star Rishi Kapoor and in both his mother is played by Sushma Seth. Other actors who also appeared in both movies include Alok Nath and Mohnish Bahl. In both movies Bahl plays the evil son of a trusted employee of the hero's family. Also in both movies when Bahl's evil deeds are caught, his evil father pretends to kick him out of the house, all the while claiming that his son's actions have tarnished his years of service and loyalty. Also in both movies a character (Rishi Kapoor in "Deewana" and Sushma Seth in "Bol Radha Bol") is presumed to be dead, only to appear alive and well near the end.
