Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Jail: The Lockup' but was shortened to just 'Jail' before release.
- Neil Nitin Mukesh's character was shown working in a stock market firm, a setting director Madhur Bhandarkar revisited in his later film 'Calendar Girls'.
- This was the first and only time Madhur Bhandarkar collaborated with music director Shamir Tandon, who composed the film's score.
- The film's shooting schedule included filming in real Mumbai police stations and courtrooms to add authenticity.
- Despite its serious theme, the movie featured a popular romantic song 'Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye Ho' sung by Sonu Nigam and Sunidhi Chauhan.
- Actor Manoj Bajpayee made a special appearance in the film, playing a key role as Parag's lawyer.
- The film underperformed at the box office, which was unusual for a Madhur Bhandarkar film following a string of successes like 'Fashion'.
