- The film's title refers to the slow local trains of Mumbai, which are a key part of the city's daily life.
- Director Tanmay Gemini shot many scenes using real commuters on Mumbai's public transport to capture authentic reactions.
- The movie's soundtrack features a rare, old Hindi film song played on a character's phone as a nostalgic touch.
- It was primarily filmed on location over 18 days to follow the natural rhythm of the city's transport schedules.
- A key scene where the friend buys 'vada pav' from a station stall used a real, popular street vendor from Dadar.
- The film had a very small theatrical release, focusing instead on film festival screenings and digital platforms.
- The ex-husband's character is never fully shown on screen, keeping the focus on the woman's emotional journey.
