→Trivia
- The film is a remake of the Tamil movie 'Nayakan' starring Kamal Haasan, which itself was inspired by the Hollywood classic 'The Godfather'.
- Feroz Khan not only directed and starred in the film, but also produced it under his own banner, F.K. International.
- The movie's soundtrack, composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, features the hit song 'Tere Bina' sung by Asha Bhosle and Mohammad Aziz.
- Despite its star power, the film was a commercial failure at the box office when it was released.
- Madhuri Dixit, who plays the female lead, was still early in her career and this role was a departure from her usual girl-next-door image.
- The film's title 'Dayavan' means 'the compassionate one' in Hindi, highlighting the protagonist's complex character as a benevolent gangster.
- Some scenes were shot in real locations in Mumbai's slums to add authenticity to the gritty setting of the story.
