→Trivia
- The film's title is a direct reference to the 1977 Hollywood film 'God Told Me To', which was released in India as 'God and Gun'.
- This was one of the few films where actor Mithun Chakraborty played a character named Vijay, a name more famously associated with Amitabh Bachchan's roles.
- Director Esmayeel Shroff often made films with social messages, and this movie critiqued political corruption during the 1990s in India.
- The soundtrack featured music by Bappi Lahiri, known for his disco style, but the film's serious tone was a departure from his usual upbeat work.
- Despite starring popular actors like Mithun Chakraborty and Shakti Kapoor, the film did not perform well at the box office.
- The plot involving a vigilante teaming up with a politician mirrored real public frustration with corruption at the time.
- Shroff's film was part of a wave of mid-90s action dramas that focused on systemic injustice rather than just personal revenge.
