This film provides examples of:
- Foreign Remake: Inspired by The Hard Way, starring Michael J. Fox and James Woods.
- Roundhouse Kick: Akshay Kumar likes to inflict these on the baddies.
- Shout-Out: Shilpa's character is named Basanti, after Hema Malini's character in Sholay, and her introductory scene is inspired by Hema's character in Seeta Aur Geeta.
- Slow Motion: Heavily abused in the action scenes.
- Unnecessary Combat Roll: Akshay Kumar also does this frequently in the action scenes.
