Trivia:
A very young Amrish Puri makes a brief appearance in the film.

Many scenes in the movie are shot in the Jammu region, which led it to become a big hit in that region at the time of its release.

The movie's popularity was such that in some urban villages, people would marry their daughters in orange or pink bridal wear instead of red.
