Trivia

  • The film's title was inspired by a collection of unpublished poems found by the director in an old family diary.
  • To create the decaying house, the crew used a real abandoned mansion in Lucknow and only added minimal set dressing.
  • Lead actress Shweta Tripathi learned to play the sitar for a key scene, practicing daily for two months before filming.
  • The movie's entire score was composed using only traditional Indian instruments, with no electronic elements.
  • It was shot in just 28 days, with a strict schedule that matched the narrative's gradual, slow-burn pace.
  • A subtle visual motif throughout the film is the recurring image of a specific, cracked blue teacup in different scenes.
  • The director, Nidhi Saxena, also hand-wrote all the 'sad letters' seen in the film as part of her character research.
