Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Inspector Dhanush Ki Aatank Kahani' but was released under the shorter name.
- It was one of the few 1990s action films starring Mithun Chakraborty where he played a dual role of hero and villain.
- The Ramsay brothers, known for horror, directed this as a rare straight action-drama with no supernatural elements.
- A key plot device involves a police commissioner's corruption, a theme common in Hindi films of the era.
- The movie's soundtrack, with music by Bappi Lahiri, included the song 'Tera Mera Pyar' sung by Kumar Sanu.
- It was filmed quickly, typical of Ramsay productions, to capitalize on Mithun Chakraborty's star power at the time.
- The film's climax uses a lookalike replacement trope, similar to plots in older Bollywood movies like 'Aankhen' (1968).
