Trivia

Album

• This was the highest-grossing film of the 1980s and launched many notable careers. The film was Sooraj Barjatya's directorial debut. He was the first Barjatya to direct a Rajshri Films production. While this wasn't Salman Khan's first film, it was his first hit. Bhagyashree, who was paired with Khan, made her acting debut in this film. The film gave a significant boost to the career of music director Raamlaxman whose career had languished after a moderately successful "Taraana" (1979). The film established Alok Nath and Reema Lagoo as character actors and launched TV actor Rajeev Verma's film career. It was also the first mainstream Hindi film of the popular Marathi film actor Laxmikant Berde.[1]
• The success of this film reversed the fortunes of Rajshri Productions. The production house was in dire straits financially and its Bombay office was about to be sold off to settle its debts. It was in these circumstances that Tarachand Barjatya greenlit this film.[2]
• Actress Bhagyashree got married to her childhood sweetheart Himalaya during the making of this film.
• The popularity of this film's music established S.P. Balasubramaniam as Salman Khan's voice for many years to come.
• Several romantic scenes in this film had to be improvised because of the restrictions placed by Bhagyashree. These improvisations included Salman closing his eyes while applying balm on Bhagyashree's ankles, a glass door separating their "kiss" and Bhagyashree covering herself with a sheet so that the audience could not see her revealing her sexy outfit to Salman.
• Bhagyashree was not the first person in her family to work in films. Her father Vijay Singh composed music for several films and also produced and directed two - "Dimple" (1977) and "Kabhie Ajnabi The" (1985). Both her sisters worked in films - Madhuvanti played the lead role in "Do Aankhen Barah Hath" (1997) and Purnima Patwardhan worked in "Taj Mahal - A Monument Of Love" (2003). The family had royal lineage. Vijay Singh, whose full name was Vijay Singhrao Madhavrao Patwardhan, was the king of the erstwhile princely state of Sangli.[3][4][5][6]
• The film's lead role was first offered to Piyush Mishra. When he declined the film, Sooraj Barjatya picked Salman Khan instead.[7]

Song

• Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali - The interludes in this song were based on the band Europe's hit track "The Final Countdown" (1986).[8][9]
• Aaya Mausam Dosti Ka - The vocalisation in the interludes of this song was borrowed from the song "Tarzan Boy" (1985) by the Italian band Baltimora.[10]
• Maine Pyar Kiya (Dil De Ke Dard-E-Mohabbat Liya Hai) - Asad Bhopali had used the opening line of this song earlier for a song in the film "Shera Daku" (1966).[11]
• Kahe Tohse Sajna - This was the debut Hindi film song of the popular folk singer Sharda Sinha.
• Aate Jaate Hanste Gaate - The song was an adaptation of Stevie Wonder's hit single "I Just Called To Say I Love You" (1984). The same tune was also used in the song "Mohabbat Ki Pehli Ik Nazar Mein" ("Jaan Ki Kasam", 1991). It was recreated many years later for the film "Golmaal Again" (2017).[12][13][14]
