→Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Insaaf Ghar' but was released as 'Chauraha', which means 'crossroads' in Hindi.
- Director Sadaqat Hussein was a former assistant to acclaimed filmmaker Mani Kaul, known for his art-house cinema.
- This was one of the few films where Jackie Shroff played a character who ages from a young boy to an adult within the story.
- Ashwini Bhave, who played the female lead, was a popular Marathi actress making a rare appearance in a Hindi film at the time.
- The movie's plot involving a wrongful conviction and revenge was considered quite dark for a mainstream 1990s Bollywood film.
- Danny Denzongpa, who played the villain, was often typecast in negative roles but was highly respected for his powerful performances.
- The film did not perform well commercially, which contributed to it being less remembered compared to other Jackie Shroff movies of the era.
