Features
In the scene where Jamal asks Amitabh Bachchan for his autograph, we see a montage of clips from the actor's films. They include Deewaar, in which Bachchan's character is one of two brothers who make conflicting life choices, with the other brother becoming a gangster.
The film can be seen running out-of-focus when young Salim goes to sell the autograph of Amitabh Bachchan to the projectionist of the theatre. The voices heard belong to Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan and Ajit. The film also had Ajit's character beating up and terrorizing kids Ram and Balram, the characters played by Dharmendra and Amitabh - a possible allusion to the treatment meted out to the slum children
