Trivia

At the end of the movie Dil Ka Kya Kasoor, Seema, the young daughter of Arun and Meena, writes a poem that goes: "Agar Zindagi Ho Tere Sang Ho, Agar Maut Ho To Woh Ho Tujhse Pehle..."

This poem features in a song for the film Balmaa (1993) that was made one year later. Coincidentally, Lawrence D'Souza is the director for both Dil Ka Kya Kasoor (1992) and Balmaa (1993).
