Trivia
Earlier Rajkumar Santoshi was to make the film with Sunny Deol and Meenakshi Seshadri as " Ajay" in 1991. When Meenakshi and Santoshi had a fallout, the film was shelved. The script was put on hold because Santoshi decided to make Ghatak instead. In 1998 Boney Kapoor offered a good financial deal to Santoshi and he opted to make the film "Ajay" with Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit. The title Pukar was chosen for the project . This angered Sunny Deol as the idea behind the script had come from him. He felt betrayed by Santoshi. Sunny decided to make another film titled "Ajay" with Suneel Darshan instead.

Alternate versions
The UK release was cut, one cut required to neck break in accordance with Board policy, in order to obtain a 15 classification. An uncut classification was not available.

Timeless Movie

I have always loved watching Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit act together and this film did not disappoint me. It is timeless in that the heroism of the Indian Army is showcased and the ultimately sacrificial love story of the two main characters is portrayed in a manner that grips your attention from beginning to end. Om Puri and the rest of the supporting cast made this a film to be watched time and again. The action, plot, music, scenery and direction helped to make this a great film. Pukar /Call is a worthwhile watch. Enjoy!
