Trivia
- The film is based on a 1935 short story of the same name by Munshi Premchand, but it changes the original's social realism into a horror plot.
- Director Dhirendra Bohra was primarily known for B-movie action and horror films, with 'Kafan' being one of his later directorial works.
- The movie was released during a wave of low-budget horror films in the late 80s and early 90s, capitalizing on the genre's popularity on VHS.
- Unlike many horror films of its time, it uses a classic Hindi literary title, which might have created unexpected associations for viewers familiar with the original story.
- The film's cast included actors like Deepak Parashar and Sripradha, who were familiar faces in B-grade cinema of that era.
- Its synopsis of a murder witness becoming possessed shares a common horror trope with other films, but the Premchand connection made it somewhat unique in Hindi cinema.
