Trivia

The film's title 'Despatch' is a play on the word 'dispatch', hinting at both news reporting and a sense of urgency.
Director Kanu Behl is known for gritty films like 'Titli', and this marks his return to exploring urban tension after several years.
Parts of the movie were shot in real, crowded Mumbai newsrooms and delivery hubs to capture authentic atmosphere.
The lead actor, likely portraying Joy, underwent workshops with actual journalists to understand the pressure of breaking news.
The film's synopsis suggests it uses Mumbai not just as a setting but almost as a character affecting the protagonist's journey.
It was reportedly shot on a mix of digital and 16mm film to give certain scenes a raw, textured look.
The movie premiered at an international film festival before its theatrical release in India, focusing on critical acclaim first.
