Trivia:
While filming the wolf chase scene, the wolf was actually running after its trainer (who isn't shown in the film) and Manoj was running after the wolf, who was unaware of Manoj running behind him with a knife in his hand. When the wolf realized this, it started chasing Manoj, who just about escaped the wolf's clutches and ran inside his van. more

Best bollywood movie ever made, 4 August 2001
8/10
Author: Khurram (ksduded) from Karachi

This was a superb film in every respect. The performances were top notch from the whole cast and the movie had a very hollywood feel to it.

Too bad that it didn't do good box office business that due to the fact that its concept and treatment was too much to swallow for the normal bollywood viewer.

But those who regularly watch Hollywood movies and also give some time for the better Bollywood movies should definately have a watch, because this is one of the best Bollywood movies every made.

There nuff said. go and watch it ...
