Trivia
- The film was inspired by a real-life experience where director Ram Gopal Varma felt a strange presence in a friend's house.
- It was the first Hindi horror film to be shot almost entirely at night, using minimal lighting to create a creepy atmosphere.
- The movie's eerie background score was created using unconventional sounds like creaking doors and animal noises.
- Actress Revathi, who played Shalini Sharma, was initially hesitant to take on a horror role but was convinced by the script.
- The film's low budget forced the crew to use practical effects, like a real kitten for the 'dead kitten' scenes.
- Despite being a cult classic now, 'Raat' had a very limited theatrical release and initially performed poorly at the box office.
- Director Ram Gopal Varma considers 'Raat' his most personal film and the foundation for his later horror works like 'Bhoot'.
