Subhash Ghai shared a picture on Instagram where he showed a memorable scene from the film. The scene depicts an incredibly emotional moment where a mourning mother dressed in black recognises the spirit of her dead son surrounded by a group of surprised onlookers. However one man stands composed amidst the chaos-that man is Monty played by Rishi Kapoor. While reminiscing the moment from Karz the filmmaker wrote When film KARZ was born ..only coz of this one scene — a moment when mother’s soul recognises the soul of her deceased son n every one is shocked except her son Monty?

Despite its current status as a cult classic it was initially considered a box office failure partially due to competition from Feroz Khans Qurbani which affected its earnings upon release. Karz is a romantic thriller which features Rishi Kapoor Tina Munim and Simi Garewal in lead roles. The film has been remade twice: once as Karz: The Burden of Truth (2002) and again as Karzzzz (2008)
