Trivia

Album

• The prison sub-plot of this film may have been inspired by the Hollywood film "The Shawshank Redemption" (1994).
• The shocking reveal in the climax of this film was much talked about. It was one of the things that made the film a cult classic.
• In 2016, a Delhi nightclub had organized a music event with Bobby Deol as the DJ. The actor had played the music of this film on loop the entire night. This had angered some of the club-goers who had bought tickets for the event paying somewhere between Rs. 2500 and Rs. 4000.[1]

Song

• Gupt Gupt - This song draws from the introduction in Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" and Deep Forest's eponymous track. "Tubular Bells" shot to fame when it was used in the horror cult-classic "The Exorcist" (1973). Kalyanji - Anandji had adapted "Tubular Bells" earlier for their song "Oh Meri Chorni Oh Meri Morni" ("Katilon Ke Kaatil", 1981).[2][3][4]
• Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela - The flute sound in this song seems inspired by Kitaro's "Matsuri".[5][6]
• Mushkil Bada Yeh Pyar Hai - The opening music in this song was based on the prelude in Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells". This piece of music is repeated in the song's interludes. The tune of the saxophone in the second interlude of the song was based on the electric guitar solo from the song "A Girl Like You" (1994) by the Scottish artist Edwyn Collins.[7]
• Yeh Pyar Kya Hai Kisi Ne Na Jaana - The flute solo pieces played a few times in this song were sampled from the prelude of the Hindi film song "Yashomati Maiya Se" ("Satyam Shivam Sundaram", 1978).[8]
