Trivia
- The film's title is inspired by a real Mumbai street food stall known for its quirky name and chaotic service.
- Director Saksham Sharma shot the entire 'intense hour' in real-time using a single, unbroken camera take for the core sequence.
- The lead actor, a newcomer, worked as an actual restaurant waiter for a month to prepare for the role.
- Many props, like the vintage pickle jars, were sourced from old Mumbai Irani cafes that have since closed down.
- The film's tense background score uses only sounds recorded in a busy kitchen, like chopping and sizzling.
- It was shot in a real, functioning but rarely-used restaurant in Mumbai's Fort area to add authenticity.
- The project was initially conceived as a short film before being developed into a feature-length drama.
