→Trivia
- The film's title 'Óbur' is a phonetic spelling of the English word 'over', reflecting the village's unique pronunciation of tech terms.
- Director Faraz Ali spent months in rural Rajasthan to understand how remote communities first experience the internet.
- The young lead actor, who plays the horse guide, had never used a smartphone before being cast in the film.
- Many village scenes were shot in a single take to capture authentic reactions to the concept of 'the cloud'.
- The film subtly references real Indian government digital initiatives, like Digital India, through background posters.
- A local folk song about lost things was rewritten with tech-themed lyrics for a key scene in the movie.
- The production used actual horses from the village instead of trained animals for more genuine interactions.
