→Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Sila Nerangalil Sila Manithargal' but was shortened to 'Sila Nodigalil' before release.
- Director Vinay Bharadwaj also composed the film's background score, which is unusual for a debut director.
- The movie was shot in just 25 days across locations in Chennai and London to keep production costs low.
- Actress Anjali Rao, who plays Maya, had to undergo training to portray a model's walk and posture convincingly.
- The film's climax scene involving a car was shot at night in a real Chennai suburb with minimal artificial lighting.
- It was promoted as a 'non-linear narrative thriller,' a style less common in mainstream Tamil cinema in 2023.
- The movie's title translates to 'In Some Moments,' hinting at key turning points in the characters' lives.
