Way ahead of its time, the film featured some class-apart visual effects that wowed the audience, the classic fight between the good and evil was displayed with fresh storytelling and multi-layered character portrayal. Along with classic hits like ‘Kaate nahin Kat Te’ and ‘Hawa Hawaii’ that has ruled every Bollywood themed party.

The iconic blockbuster follows the life of Arun, a poor but big-hearted man who dedicates his life raising orphan children.
