→Trivia
- The film's title 'Donga' is a colloquial Telugu word meaning 'thief', directly hinting at the main character's role.
- This was director B. S. Sarwagna Kumar's first film after a three-year gap since his previous release.
- The movie was shot primarily in a single-house location to create an intimate and tense atmosphere.
- Actress Siri Hanmanth, who plays the young woman, performed most of her scenes opposite the thief in just a few continuous days of filming.
- The plot's premise of a thief and victim forming an unlikely bond draws loose inspiration from classic Hollywood situational comedies.
- Composer Ghibran, known for his work in Tamil cinema, provided the background score, marking a relatively rare Telugu project for him.
- Despite its simple setting, the film uses detailed production design in the house to visually reflect the woman's isolated personality.
