Trivia
- The film's title 'Baramasi' refers to the twelve-month cycle of seasons in the Malwa region, mirroring the ritual's annual nature.
- Director Abhinav Dubey spent over two years living in Malwa villages to research the ritual and local dialects for authenticity.
- The banyan tree shown is a real, centuries-old tree in a village near Indore, around which the crew filmed for several days.
- Much of the cast are non-professional actors from the Malwa region, speaking in their native Hindi dialect.
- The film premiered at the 2023 International Film Festival of India in Goa before its theatrical release.
- It subtly references the folk song 'Baramasi' from the region, which traditionally describes the months of a woman's longing.
- The cinematography uses natural light almost exclusively to capture the textures of the rural landscape and rituals.
