→Trivia
- This film is a Hindi remake of the 2007 Telugu movie 'Tulasi', which also starred Sneha in the lead role.
- The film's director, K. Ajay Kumar, is primarily known for his work in the South Indian film industry, especially in Telugu cinema.
- Actress Sneha, who played Tulsi, was already a major star in South Indian films but this was one of her few leading roles in a Hindi movie.
- The movie's plot dealing with a mother's terminal illness and arranging adoptions was considered a very emotional social drama for its time.
- Despite its serious theme, the film did not perform well commercially and had a very limited theatrical release across India.
- The soundtrack was composed by Ghantadi Krishna, a composer known for his work in Telugu and Kannada films, not commonly in Hindi.
- A key promotional angle highlighted the film as a strong 'mother-centric' drama, a genre less common in mainstream Hindi cinema of the late 2000s.
