Trivia
- The film's title 'Cookie' is the nickname of the daughter, which is rarely used as a horror movie title in Hindi cinema.
- Director Lalit Marathe is primarily known for Marathi films, making this one of his few Hindi directorial ventures.
- The movie was shot in a single primary location, the family's home, to create a claustrophobic atmosphere.
- It was released directly on an OTT platform, bypassing a theatrical release, which was uncommon for horror films in India at the time.
- The film uses minimal special effects, relying more on psychological tension and sound design for scares.
- Actress Priya Bapat, who plays Aparna, is a well-known star in Marathi cinema but has fewer Hindi film roles.
- The plot revolves around parental neglect, a theme less common in Indian horror compared to supernatural or religious themes.
