→Trivia
- The film's title 'Murderbaad' is a play on the Hindi word 'baad' meaning 'after', hinting at the aftermath of a crime rather than the act itself.
- Director Arnab Chatterjee reportedly visited over 50 heritage havelis in Jaipur to find the perfect mansion for a key sequence.
- The script was partly inspired by real-life cases of tourist disappearances in Rajasthan, though heavily fictionalized.
- A minor character, a local tea stall owner, is played by a real-life Jaipur guide who had never acted before.
- The production had to get special permission to film a crucial chase sequence inside the Jal Mahal palace after official hours.
- The film's promotional campaign used cryptic missing person posters in several Indian cities, mimicking the plot.
- The original score uses a modified version of a traditional Rajasthani folk melody as a recurring musical clue.
