Trivia
- The film's title 'Khopdi' is a colloquial Hindi word for 'skull', often used in a playful or creepy context.
- Director Ramesh Lakhiani was primarily known for directing B-grade action and horror films in the 1990s.
- The movie was part of a wave of low-budget horror films in India that directly borrowed plots from popular Hollywood slasher films.
- It was filmed quickly on a very low budget, typical for the 'video era' of Hindi cinema where direct-to-video releases were common.
- The film's revenge plot mirrors the structure of many rape-revenge films but is set within a supernatural horror framework.
- Despite its graphic theme, the film avoided major censorship controversies, as it was a niche release not widely seen in theaters.
- The special effects for the ghostly apparitions were done using simple optical techniques common in low-budget films of the time.
