Trivia

  • The film was shot in Goa and was one of the few Hindi films of its time to be set against the backdrop of the Portuguese rule there.
  • Actor Shammi Kapoor, who played a key role, was also the film's producer, marking a rare production venture for him in the 1980s.
  • The movie's music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, but it did not achieve the same massive popularity as their other soundtracks from that era.
  • A young Anil Kapoor, before his major stardom, had a supporting role in this film, which featured an ensemble cast.
  • The film's climax and action sequences were noted for being more realistic compared to some of the more stylized fights common in early 80s cinema.
  • Despite its patriotic theme and star cast, the movie was not a major commercial success at the box office upon its release.
