→Trivia
- The film's title refers to Article 15 of the Indian Constitution, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex, or place of birth.
- Director Anubhav Sinha was inspired to make the film after reading about the 2014 Badaun gang rape and murder case.
- Actor Ayushmann Khurrana, who plays the IPS officer, spent time with real police officers to prepare for his role.
- The film's shooting location in Uttar Pradesh was chosen for its authentic rural landscape and caste-divided villages.
- A minor controversy arose because the film's poster showed Khurrana's character holding a cigarette, which some argued glorified smoking.
- The movie was a commercial success, earning over 1.3 billion rupees worldwide against a modest budget.
- Many dialogues in the film were improvised to make the conversations feel more natural and realistic.
