→Trivia
- The film was shot entirely in a single bar set over 18 days to maintain a continuous, intimate feel.
- Dibakar Banerjee cast several actors from his earlier film 'LSD: Love Sex Aur Dhokha' in small, uncredited roles.
- The script was partly inspired by the director's own experiences listening to conversations in Mumbai's old Irani cafes.
- A real, competitive badminton match was filmed for a flashback scene, requiring the lead actors to train for three weeks.
- The movie's original title was 'Last Call' before being changed to the more metaphorical 'Badminton'.
- The entire soundtrack was composed using only acoustic instruments found in or around a typical bar.
- It marked the first Hindi film collaboration between cinematographer Nikos Andritsakis and Dibakar Banerjee.
