Despite the scene's being very tame, when Mithun arrived back for the shooting, he was furious when he heard of what happened. He was promised that Shakti Kapoor and Yogita would have no intimate scene's together. Mithun was also upset with the the way director shot Yogita's rape scene. He felt it was too graphic and the director went back on his word to shoot the scene with out violence.

    Intriguing Bollywood thriller

    Prakash comes to a village in a bid to find his friend Shyam, who has gone missing. He is further baffled on seeing a picture of his girlfriend with a man and a child and decides to investigate.

    A highly intriguing mystery that benefits greatly from its forest location where oddball and shifty characters such as Amrish Puri hide behind the leaves and appear like ghosts. It's slow-paced but that is necessary to zone in all the characters. Besides, the plot just sucks you in, something is happening all the time and there's a constant ominous tension pervading in the air. The masala elements are scaled down greatly and there's a sense of quietness - a calm before the storm.

    The performances all round are top tier, right from Mithun to Amrish Puri, or Jalal Agha. It's a very intriguing and unconventional Bollywood thriller that deserves a look.
