→Trivia
- The film was shot in just 21 days, mostly in real homes in Delhi to keep a natural feel.
- Director Gagan Puri also wrote the story, drawing from his own observations of family dynamics.
- It was one of the few Hindi films released directly on a streaming platform during the early pandemic.
- The veteran actress playing the matriarch had not acted in a lead role for over a decade before this.
- The title 'Door Ke Darshan' is a playful twist on a common Hindi phrase about distant relatives.
- Several scenes use long single takes to show the family's chaotic interactions in real time.
- The film's small budget meant many crew members took on multiple roles behind the camera.
