Trivia
- The film was shot almost entirely on a real cruise ship on the Godavari River, which was a major logistical challenge.
- Director Sekhar Kammula wrote the script after taking a similar river cruise himself, drawing from his own observations.
- Actress Kamalinee Mukherjee, who played Seetha, learned basic Telugu for the role as she was primarily a Bengali-speaking actress.
- The movie's soundtrack, composed by K. M. Radha Krishnan, heavily uses classical Carnatic music influences, which was uncommon for a romantic drama.
- Despite critical praise, the film had a slow start at the box office but later gained a strong cult following on television and home video.
- A key scene where the lead characters release lamps into the river was filmed in a single take to capture the natural emotion.
