Trivia

  • The film's title 'Viruddh' means 'against' or 'opposite' in Hindi, reflecting the family's struggle against injustice.
  • Actor John Abraham, known for action roles, played a subdued character who dies early, a departure from his usual image.
  • The movie was shot in just 35 days, a very short schedule for a Hindi drama of its scale.
  • It marked one of the few times veteran actors Sharmila Tagore and Amitabh Bachchan played an elderly middle-class couple.
  • Director Mahesh Manjrekar also played a small role as a police officer in the film.
  • The film was not a major box office success but received critical praise for its performances and social message.
  • Parts of the movie were filmed in real locations in Pune to give it a more authentic, non-glamorous feel.
