The twist in the tale involves a reincarnation subplot connected to a royal family. Without giving away too many spoilers (if you haven’t seen it), the final fight sequence is a brutal, rain-soaked affair where Ravi must reclaim his lost honor and his love. It is this dramatic, emotional payoff that makes the film rewatchable two decades later.
The movie's influence can be seen in several other Bollywood films and TV shows. The film's romantic comedy elements, in particular, have inspired several other movies.
