Trivia

- Director Manish Tiwary spent over a decade developing the script to authentically capture the chawl's community spirit.
- Lead actor Omkar Kulkarni, who plays the Bihari boy, underwent intensive football training for several months for his role.
- The movie's title 'Chidiakhana' translates to 'zoo' in Hindi, metaphorically referring to the crowded, lively chawl setting.
- Much of the film was shot on location in actual, older chawls of Mumbai to maintain visual authenticity.
- The soundtrack features folk music elements from both Bihar and Maharashtra, blending the two cultural backgrounds.
- Despite being a 2023 release, the film is set in the early 2000s, which influenced its production design and costumes.
