→Trivia
- The film's title is a playful nod to real-life family disputes in small-town India, where joint families sometimes split over lifestyle differences.
- Seemaa Desai drew inspiration from her own relatives' stories of generational clashes after moving from a village to a city.
- Parts of the movie were shot in actual neighborhoods of Kannauj to capture the authentic feel of a perfume-making town.
- A subplot involving a missing family recipe for rose attar was added to highlight the cultural heritage of the Kaushal family's hometown.
- The actor playing Yug practiced a mix of Awadhi and Delhi accents to show his character's transition from small-town to city life.
- Several scenes were improvised during rehearsals to make the family arguments feel more natural and relatable.
- The film's climax scene at a Delhi metro station was filmed during off-peak hours to avoid disrupting daily commuters.
