Trivia

  • The film's title 'Dagaalty' is a Tamil slang word meaning 'trouble' or 'nuisance', reflecting the chaotic plot.
  • Director Vijay Anand is the grandson of veteran Tamil film director C.V. Sridhar, continuing a family legacy in cinema.
  • Actor Yogi Babu, known for comedy, plays a key supporting role, but his character was initially written with fewer scenes.
  • The movie was shot extensively in and around Chennai, using real locations to create a vibrant urban backdrop.
  • It was released directly on a streaming platform, bypassing theaters, which was still uncommon for Tamil films in 2020.
  • The soundtrack was composed by Justin Prabhakaran, who used a mix of folk and contemporary styles for the songs.
  • A minor subplot involving a fake spiritual guru was inspired by real-life news stories about similar con artists in India.
