Trivia

- Actor Sanjay Dutt performed many of his own stunts, including scenes where he runs through crowded hospital corridors.
- The movie was shot extensively in real hospitals and mills in Mumbai to create a gritty, authentic feel.
- Music composer Vishal-Shekhar, known for upbeat scores, created a somber and tense background score for this drama.
- Despite its serious theme, the film had a moderate box office opening but did not become a major commercial success.
- Director Anubhav Sinha later said the film's realistic tone was a deliberate shift from his earlier more glamorous projects.
