Trivia
- This was Simi Garewal's directorial debut, making her one of the few actress-turned-directors in 1980s Hindi cinema.
- The film's title 'Rukhsat' means 'farewell' or 'permission to leave' in Urdu, reflecting the story's central separation.
- Actor Deepak Parashar, who played the lead, was better known for supporting roles and B-movies at the time.
- The soundtrack, composed by Bappi Lahiri, did not produce any major hit songs, which was unusual for his work in that era.
- Much of the film was shot on location in Bombay (now Mumbai), capturing the city's urban landscape of the late 1980s.
- The plot involves the male lead borrowing money from a client, a detail highlighting informal lending practices common in small businesses.
