Trivia
- The film is an adaptation of Federico Garcia Lorca's play 'The House of Bernarda Alba', but it is set in a Gujarati household in 1930s India.
- It was shot almost entirely indoors within a single mansion set to create a feeling of confinement, mirroring the play's original setting.
- This was one of the few films where actress Dimple Kapadia and her daughter Twinkle Khanna appeared together, though Twinkle had a very small role.
- The film's original Spanish play is a tragedy about repression, which Nihalani translated into a story about feudal Indian society.
- Despite its critical acclaim, the film had a very limited theatrical release and is not widely known among mainstream Hindi cinema audiences.
- Govind Nihalani, known for hard-hitting dramas, chose this project as part of his interest in adapting literary works to the Indian context.
- The soundtrack featured classical Indian music and ghazals to complement the period setting and intense emotional drama.
