Slum dweller Women Usha Nadkarni Husband (Special Appearance) Pramod Pawar as Press Reporter Makarand Anaspure as Eye Witness Soundtrack One of the dialogs in the film "Ek Machchar" was released as a song with background female vocals. The dialogue's popularity contributed to the success of the film. Reviews Some viewers felt that the film was virtually a "one-man show", with Patekar's character stealing the show. Film critics also praised the performance of Madhoo as "strong" and "flawless". The film was well-reviewed as a rare and thought-provoking piece, sorely needed in an era of superficial commercialized movies. Trivia This film includes the famous line "Ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hain" ("A single mosquito can emasculate a man"), spoken by Yeshwant. This line became a popular catchphrase and was widely used to promote the film. This line was expanded into a musical number with background music and chorus, under the music direction of Anand and Milind Shrivastav. This movie was the last movie of an actor Shafi Inamdar, which was released after his death due to a heart attack in 1996. In one scene, Inspector Joshi (Shivaji Satam) interferes, trying to save some of Salim's henchmen from Yashwant. A scene in Shootout at Lokhandwala was inspired by this scene.
