Was Jalwa a copy of Beverly Hills Cops, as it is often described to be? "It's better than Beverly Hills Cop," Parashar said. "The editing pattern is better, for one thing. I once met that movie's director (Martin Brest) in a hotel lobby in California and told him that I had remade his film without his permission, and done it better, and he laughed."
