→Trivia
- The film's title references a classic Hindi story 'Poos Ki Raat' by Premchand, linking the lockdown narrative to literary tradition.
- Director Anku Parashar also served as the cinematographer, creating a claustrophobic visual style with limited sets.
- It was shot almost entirely inside a single apartment to reflect the isolation of the pandemic lockdown experience.
- The radio broadcast in the film uses a real AIR (All India Radio) style narration to enhance authenticity.
- This was one of the first Hindi films to directly incorporate COVID-19 pandemic imagery as a central plot device.
- The production wrapped in just 12 days due to the constrained single-location filming schedule.
- Sound design focuses heavily on off-screen knocks and sparse effects to build tension around the unseen visitor.
