Trivia
- This was the only horror film directed by Keshu Ramsay, who usually worked as a producer or cinematographer for the Ramsay Brothers.
- The film's mummy was inspired by Hollywood monster movies, a rare theme in Hindi horror at the time.
- Actor Raza Murad, who played the villain, was often cast as a suave antagonist but here portrayed a more brutish criminal.
- The movie was shot partly at a real bungalow in Mumbai to create an isolated, eerie atmosphere.
- It performed poorly at the box office, overshadowed by bigger hits like 'Mr. India' released the same year.
- The soundtrack, composed by Bappi Lahiri, included a disco-style song despite the horror setting.
- The Ramsay family reused some sets and props from their earlier low-budget horror films to save costs.
