Debut film of Aamir Khan, who was eight years old the year of the film's release. He plays the younger version Ratan (aka Monto), while adult Ratan is played by Tariq, who is Aamir's real life cousin. Both are related to the film's director/writer/producer, Nasir Hussain.
Former child actress, Neetu Singh, had struggled to find success as an adult actress. But her minor role in this film, dancing to the song "Le Kar Hum Deewana Dil," was a boost to her career and she began receiving offers to play leading lady roles.
The title song "Yaadon Ki Baarat" sung by all three brothers as children was in fact sung by three women.
The song "Yaadon Ke Baraat " was sampled in the international song " Isabel" by Akcent.
Nasir Hussein and Amitabh Bachchan lost the opportunity to work toghether in this film, as the distributors dint want an flop actor but they had wanted successful actor Vijay Arora in this film.
