Trivia

  • Many of the books shown in Radha's room are actual 1970s and 80s Hindi children's books from the director's collection.
  • The film was shot in a real, preserved 1980s-style home in Lucknow, not on a set.
  • To create authenticity, the props team used period-correct school supplies like specific pencil boxes and erasers.
