Reception

The two legends of Indian Film industry Mohanlal and Amitabh Bachan made a dashing perfomance in this film. Aag was set to be a hit as it was a remake of the 1975 classics but it turned to be a disaster at the box office. After its first week, the film was turned down by all cinemas and it became one of the biggest flops in Bollywood history. Indian people named this film as Ram Gopal Verma's Ashes (राम गोपाल वर्मा की राख).
