→Trivia
- The film's title is a playful nod to the classic Bollywood trope of 'once upon a time' stories, but with a twist focusing on two generations.
- Director Sonakshi Mittal reportedly used real family vacation footage from the cast to create a more authentic travel montage in the movie.
- The soundtrack features a lesser-known cover of a 1990s Hindi love song, re-recorded by one of the actor's siblings.
- Principal photography was completed in under 30 days, primarily in the hill stations of Himachal Pradesh.
- A minor subplot involving a local folk tale was cut from the final edit to tighten the runtime, as confirmed in an interview.
- The film had a very limited theatrical release, premiering directly on a streaming platform in most international markets.
- Two key scenes between the parents' past and the children's present were shot in the same hotel location, decades apart.
