The film's memorable music, featuring hits like "Jalwa" and "Love Me Love Me," continues to resonate with fans, while its action sequences and punchy dialogues have become part of Bollywood lore.
The film also featured notable performances by Ayesha Takia as Jhanvi, Radhe's love interest who adds both romantic and comedic elements to the gritty narrative, and Prakash Raj as the formidable antagonist Sardar Khan.

Such a revival would not only allow devoted fans to relive the film’s excitement on the big screen but also introduce a new generation to its cinematic brilliance.
