    • Trivia
      Amitabh Bachchan was not a big star when the movie released, his photo was smaller than all the stars in the movie on the posters. But when the movie was re- released after ten years on the posters, the photo of Amitabh Bachchan was much bigger than other stars in the movie.
    • Goofs
      Towards the end of the movie when Vijay and Deepak are fighting while Bharat is trying to escape on Deepak's motorcycle, Vijay's "amputated" right arm can clearly be seen hidden behind his back, under his shirt.

    Probably Premnath's greatest ever role!

    This film has the lot: romance, action and hit songs. Manoj Kumar undoubtedly holds the lead role, but as far as show-stealing goes, Premnath's 'Sardar Harnam Singh' has to down as one of the greatest character portrayals, ever.

    Not only did he recite some of Sikhism's holiest 'prayers' fluently but was also allowed to swear (rather frequently) in Punjabi. Which, both added that extra class to his performance.

    His role was so widely acclaimed amongst Punjabis, that whenever Premnath was to visit Punjab, any services or goods he may require were given free of charge!
