→Trivia
- The film was shot extensively in Mauritius, using real historical locations like the Aapravasi Ghat, a UNESCO World Heritage site linked to Indian indentured labor.
- Director Romesh Sharma, known as an actor in films like 'Naseeb', made his directorial debut with this movie after a long gap from acting.
- It features a rare Bollywood soundtrack composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy where all songs are sung by a single playback singer, Shaan.
- The movie's release was delayed by several years; it was initially announced much earlier than its 2006 premiere.
- Despite its historical setting, the film performed poorly at the box office and received limited theatrical exposure outside India.
- Amitabh Bachchan made a special appearance in the film, but his role was relatively brief and not heavily promoted in marketing.
- The story draws inspiration from the real-life experiences of Indian indentured laborers in Mauritius, a subject seldom explored in mainstream Hindi cinema.
