→Trivia
- The film's title 'Rang Birangi' is a playful reference to the 1973 film 'Rang Birangi' starring Amitabh Bachchan, which itself was a remake of the Hollywood film 'Cactus Flower'.
- Hrishikesh Mukherjee originally considered casting Rajesh Khanna for the lead role, but ultimately chose Amol Palekar for his everyman charm.
- The film features a meta-reference where characters discuss the plot of Mukherjee's own earlier hit, 'Gol Maal' (1979), starring Amol Palekar.
- Deepti Naval's character Anita is named after the actress Anita Raaj, who was considered for the role before Naval was finalized.
- The movie includes a scene parodying the famous 'bench scene' from the classic film 'Mughal-e-Azam', a common trope in Mukherjee's comedies.
- This was one of the few films where Parveen Babi, known for glamorous roles, played a more subdued, character-driven part.
- The soundtrack by R.D. Burman includes the song 'Ae Ri Pawan', which uses a melody adapted from a traditional Bengali folk tune.
