Trivia
- The film's director, Atul Chaugule, is also a practicing architect, making 'Nazar' a passion project blending his artistic and structural sensibilities.
- The story is inspired by a real-life incident from the director's childhood involving a broken family camera and the emotional weight it carried.
- The rainbow seen in the film was not digitally added; the crew waited for days to capture a natural rainbow at a specific location in Maharashtra.
- The vintage camera used as a key prop was a real, non-functional model sourced from a collector's market in Mumbai to ensure authenticity.
- To portray the young protagonist's bond with his grandfather, the actors spent a week together off-set, sharing meals and stories to build chemistry.
- The film was shot entirely on location in a small town in Maharashtra to capture the authentic, grounded feel of a middle-class Indian household.
- Despite being a drama, the film subtly incorporates elements of magical realism through visual motifs like the rainbow and the camera's perspective.
