Trivia
- The film's title 'Trial Period' is a direct translation of its original Hindi title, 'Trial Period', which is unusual as most Hindi films have distinct Hindi and English titles.
- Director Aleya Sen previously worked extensively in television, with this film marking her feature-length directorial debut.
- The child actor playing the son, Vihaan Samat, was selected after a nationwide search for a natural and expressive young performer.
- A key subplot involves the mother's job at a quirky start-up, which was inspired by real observations of India's modern office culture.
- The film was shot primarily in Mumbai, with several scenes filmed in actual suburban apartments to keep the setting authentic.
- Despite being a comedy-drama, the script went through over twenty drafts to balance humor with the emotional single-parent narrative.
- The movie had a very limited theatrical release and found a larger audience directly through its streaming platform premiere.
