→Trivia
- The film's title is a playful nod to the term 'joint' often used in college slang for a shared living space and a marijuana cigarette.
- Director Raktim Chowdhury drew inspiration from his own hostel experiences as a student in Mumbai.
- Several scenes were shot in a real, functioning boys' hostel in Jaipur to capture authentic cramped living conditions.
- The lead actors, newcomers to Hindi cinema, lived together in a hostel for a week before filming to build chemistry.
- A key comedic scene involving a hidden snack stash was largely improvised by the actors during the take.
- The film's soundtrack features a retro-style song that parodies 1990s Bollywood educational film music.
- Due to its low budget, many props like banned items in the story were borrowed from the crew's personal belongings.
