Released in the summer of '88, ie 37 years ago during the peak of Sridevi-Mithun mania, the film was one of the biggest hits of the year. As Yash Chopra said of that time, it was the peak of saturation of violence. Every poster and billboard across Bombay (wasn't Mumbai then!), the hero had a gun, and the world was ablaze. The stars kept changing, the guns were the same. Oddly, it's one of the weakest movies in the repertoire of the two leads but a smash hit. 80s was a bizarre time.
