Trivia

Album

• The title theme of this film was originally the title theme composed by R.D. Burman for the film "Joshila" (1973). This theme has been used for the opening credits of many other films, including films in which R.D. Burman was not the music director, like this one.[1]
• This film had a scene in which Amitabh Bachchan, playing a country bumpkin and a good singer, visits the office of a music label and mistakes the head of the label, who is in meditation, to be a statue. This scene inspired a very similar scene in the film "Saajan Chale Sasural" (1996).[2]
• Actress Rekha dubbed for some of Neetu Singh's scenes in this film.
• This was a rare Hindi film album that did not feature any female singer.

Song

• Chhoo Kar Mere Man Ko Kiya Tune Kya Ishara - This song was an adaptation of the Rabindra Sangeet song "Tomar Holo Shuru Amar Holo Sara".[3][4]
• Chhoo Kar Mere Man Ko Kiya Tune Kya Ishara - Amitabh Bachchan called music director Rajesh Roshan on the phone from Calcutta, where the film was being shot, to tell him that this song was too fast for him to shoot. Roshan asked the actor to have faith in him and film the song. Bachchan didn't seem happy about it but carried on nevertheless. The song turned out to be a big hit.[5]
• Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan - The film had a short, sad version of this song which was not included in the audio release.
• Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Diwana - Gourov - Roshin recreated this song for the film "Kaabil" (2016).[6]
• Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Diwana - Amitabh Bachchan's costume in this song was one of the highlights of this film. He wore a suit that was fitted with many small bulbs. The bulbs were controlled by a switch which Bachchan carried on his person and operated to synchronise with his dance steps. It was Amitabh who had come up with the idea of this suit. He had seen the actor Robert Redford wear a similar suit in the Hollywood film "The Electric Horseman" (1979). Amitabh Bachchan had also suggested the location at which this song was shot - the newly built Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Indoor Stadium in Calcutta.[7]
• Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Diwana - The film's cast and crew had a harrowing experience while shooting for this song. The crowd in the stadium in which the song was being shot had gone out of control and become violent. While trying to leave the location, the car in which Amitabh Bachchan and Neetu Singh were travelling broke down. The actors feared the worst but realising their predicament, the crowd calmed down and pushed the vehicle up to their hotel.[8]
• Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Diwana - This song was recreated for an advertisement by Phillips India in 2013. In the ad, Ranbir Kapoor wore a jacket fitted with LED bulbs similar to the suit Amitabh Bachchan wore in the original song sequence.[9]
• Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Diwana - While shooting in Calcutta for this song, Neetu Singh had gotten homesick as she was missing Rishi Kapoor, with whom she had gotten engaged recently. Seeing her in tears, Amitabh Bachchan had asked her what the matter was. When he heard about her plight, he talked to the producer and had her sent back to Bombay. The rest of the song was shot with Amitabh only. It was due to this that Neetu Singh wasn't part of the entire film sequence for this song.[10]
• Sara Zamana Haseeno Ka Diwana - In an interview, writer and actor Kader Khan claimed that this song and some other portions of the film were directed by him.[11]
• Yaarana Yaarana Toote Kabhi Naa Yaarana - This song was part of the film but not included in its audio release.
