Phool Aur Kaante was noted for its soundtrack and action sequences. Devgn's entry in the film became very popular where he appeared standing, balancing on two moving motorcycles. Similar stunts have been repeated in a number of films since, sometimes by Devgn himself.[3][4][5][6]
Upon release, the film received positive response both from critics and audience. Despite released along with a much bigger star studded Lamhe, it emerged as a major success at box office and was the fifth highest-grossing film of that year.
