Trivia:

Director Yash Chopra initially wanted Ajay Devgan to play the role of Rahul, but Devgan was at that time shooting another movie in Ooty and never got back to him. Then Aamir Khan was offered the role, but turned it down because he was not happy the way Chopra had handled his character in Parampara (1992). Shahrukh Khan finally accepted the role, and thus began a long association between Khan himself and Yash Raj Films.

Goofs:

Continuity: The climactic battle between Sunil and Rahul that takes place during the night after the latter expresses his love toward Kiran is on a poorly constructed scale model of the yacht seen in the previous scene.

Quotes:

[singing]
Rahul Mehra: You're facing me, / I'm facing you, / Shall I look at you or love you? / How did this happen / That you became mine? / How shall I trust this?
Kiran Awasti: I shattered, / Shattering, I went to pieces! / Your persistence rendered me helpless! / Your magic brought me here, o sorcerer! / I shattered, / shattering, I went to pieces...

A violent love story

Shah rukh khan plays an obbsessed lover who would go to any lengths to get his lady. Juhi chawla does a wonderful job of making the best of her character and sunny deol plays the hero and action man. this film is very good and i'd reecommend it to anyone.
