    • Trivia
      The title of the movie (Gangaajal) means water of the sacred river Ganga in India. Water of the Ganges is supposed to be blessed and anyone who touches it gets cleansed of his/her sins. In the movie acid that is poured into the eyes of suspected criminals is called 'gangaajal' by the cops because they are supposedly cleansing the society.

    • Quotes

      Amit Kumar: [after bringing Mohan Joshi for questioning] Where is Sundar ?

      [In an angrier tone]

      Amit Kumar: Where's Sundar ?

      [Throwing pics of Yashpal Sharma's associates on the table]

      Amit Kumar: And where have you hidden these 4 ?

      Sadhu Yadav: This game of hide and seek is played by people like you S.P.. I do everything in open daylight. If you have the authority, go ahead arrest me. Sadhu isn't afraid.

      Amit Kumar: Till now you're oblivious to what fear actually is Sadhu. If Sundar doesn't unearth himself within 24 hours, you'll dread looking at your own face in the mirror.

      Sadhu Yadav: What would you do, blast my eyes out, mutilate me, kill me ?

      Amit Kumar: Liberation isn't coming THIS easy to you Sadhu. Remember, 24 hours.
