Trivia

• The film's title and core plot are inspired by a 1966 American movie also called 'Madam X', though the stories are very different.
• This was one of the few films where actress Reema Lagoo, famous for playing gentle mothers, took on a negative role as the villainous Madam X.
• The movie was part of a wave of female-centric thrillers in the 90s, trying to repeat the success of films like 'Khoon Bhari Maang'.
• Actor Avtar Gill, who often played a police officer, had a different role here as one of the gang members working for Madam X.
• The director, Deepak S. Shivdasani, was better known for directing romantic and family dramas before making this crime thriller.
• Despite its thriller plot, the film included several typical 90s Bollywood song sequences that were unrelated to the main story.
• The movie's climax and the look-alike plot device were compared by critics to the Hollywood film 'The Dark Mirror' from 1946.
