- TriviaAjay Devgan and Arjun had signed a film titled Pyar Bhari Waadiya . During the photo shoot, Arjun and Ajay became good friends. One day Arjun met Ajay and his father on the sets of Divya Shakti. Arjun heard the film Jigar needed a villain and wanted the role. Veeru Devgan refused saying he wanted a karate champion for the role. Feeling dejected Arjun went to producer Salim Akhtar's office to ask for the role. Salim said no problem, and told him to meet action director Veeru Devgan! Arjun felt this was going back to square one as Veeru had already said no. Arjun went and visited Veeru again feeling the rejection was again going to happen. This time Salim followed Arjun to the sets and told Veeru to reconsider Arjun. Arjun told Veeru he was a former boxing champion in college and had a black belt in Karate. Finally Veeru agreed and gave the okay to have Arjun in the film.

Featured review
Mithun Syndrome
There was a time in Indian cinema when no brains like Jigar was deemed as entertainment, thankfully the eighties are no more when screen violence had no reason, and men saw rape as a joy to view on screen. Still it mange to create curiosity with the then newcomer Ajay Devgan, who starred in the blockbuster Phool Aur Kannte (1990), and who was gaining stardom as an action hero. How much has changed from the past to what he is currently, a talented actor with quality films like Zakham (1998) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) behind him.
The soundtrack of this film was quite a big seller and made the once S-Series record label, owned by producer Salim, quite successful for a short period of time. He even produced some decent movies like Phool Aur Angarrey (1992), and Bazzi (1993).
The film's main characters are the fight sequences that seem poorly executed and rushed. The choreography is somewhat dull and lacks what other excellent king-f films have in its pacing, editing and cinematography. It even goes to borrow scenes from numerous classic Jackie Chan films like Snake in the Eagle Shadow and Drunken Master. The performances from the entire cast are hammy and off-key, but that is expected for a movie of this genre. The romantic elements do take up most of the film time and some trimming could have been done. Technical values are average and now are appearing rather dated.
The plot is reminiscent to numerous Cantonese films that are within the king-f genre, and like films of this genre Jigar is gaining a cult like status with video rentals and satellite showings. It might not be one people are planning to watch but when it's on you can't help but watch along. It's what I like to call the "Mithun Syndrome" (see below to further understand what is meant by this term). You really don't get anything out of this feature; it's not even a time pass film but the Mithun Syndrome is quite high on this feature.
Mithun Syndrome = when you wouldn't rent that film, but when its on the screen you follow what is occurring with a strange willing to compromise and be contempt with whatever the film shows.
