- Quotes
Ranvijay Singh: Okay Papa, let's play a game. I'll be you, you be my son. Remember when I was in fifth grade and there was that Michael Jackson concert happening in Bombay? You knew what a big fan I was of Michael Jackson. All my friends were going, but I didn't go because it was your birthday. Let's replay that day. You don't have to do much. Just say, "Papa, Papa..." and I'll pretend to be you, okay? Do it with conviction, Papa. It's my only chance, okay?
[gets up, lights a cigarette, and throws away the lighter]
Ranvijay Singh: Action, Papa.

- Crazy creditsIn the post-credits scene, Asrar, Abid and Abrar's other younger brother, Aziz, a professional assassin in Istanbul, learns that Vijay was responsible for killing Asrar and Abrar. After successfully undergoing a plastic surgery to become Vijay's doppelganger Aziz, along with Abid, sets out to exact vengeance on Vijay and his family.
- Alternate versionsThe Indian theatrical version was certified A (adults only) after some cuts were made. While the modifications suggested by the Examining Committee were waived off based on the filmmaker/applicant's justifications and submissions, a number of verbal cuts were made to the audio as well as the subtitles. The only visual cuts made were to an intimate scene, where the closeup shots were removed.

Horribly edited with unnecessary scenes included and important links missed out, the movie flows so abruptly that even an amateur editor would laugh at this blunder of a work.
Only the action choreographer and the director of photography are worth some applause as they did a great job.
While, Ranbir. Kapoor and Bobby Deol gave their 100%, yet the director failed in carving a memorable character persona, primary reason being that the director just couldn't decide whether his protagonist is an out and out a pshyco or a normal guy with anger issues.
So, the result is a mix of Michael Corleone and Sharukh Khan's character in Darr. Is Ranbir Kapoor an obsessed lover or an intelligent sane man who secures the legacy of his large-scale business family strategically, the director just doesn't know and he doesn't care and takes the story wherever he wants in a way that makes the audience uncomfortable to relate to the character let alone the situations where he kills hundreds of men in broad daylight with no alert to police and no propaganda by the media.
The movie's hype is the larger than life getaway mood for the audience, but the lack of sensibility and bad editing couldn't save the movie and lands it as a forgettable blockbuster.
