→Trivia
- The film's title is a dark pun on the phrase 'Buddha mar gaya,' which in Hindi slang can mean an old man died, but here it's also a play on the name Buddha.
- Director Rahul Rawail is better known for serious dramas like 'Betaab' and 'Arjun,' making this adult comedy a rare genre departure for him.
- The plot's premise of hiding a death to protect a business deal is similar to the 2005 British dark comedy 'Keeping Mum,' though set in a very different context.
- Actor Om Puri, who played Vidyut Baba, was known for intense roles, so his part as a bisexual spiritual guru was an unusual comedic turn late in his career.
- The film was a major box office failure and received largely negative reviews for its crude humor and convoluted storyline.
- Despite the adult comedy genre, the film features veteran actors like Satish Kaushik and Paresh Rawal, known for their work in family-friendly comedies.
- The movie's release was low-key with minimal promotion, partly due to its controversial content and mixed advance word of mouth.
