Trivia

  • The film's director Devika Bhagat was previously known as a screenwriter for movies like 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and 'Ladies vs Ricky Bahl'.
  • It was produced by Dharma Productions, a major Bollywood studio, but was a rare box office disappointment for them in that period.
  • The movie's soundtrack featured a song called 'Khuda Bhi' which was originally composed for the 2011 film 'Mausam' but was not used.
  • Actor Abhay Deol, who plays Amit, also served as a creative producer on the project, involved in shaping the film's content.
  • The film's release was delayed by over a year from its initial planned date, which is common in Bollywood but affected its momentum.
  • It is one of the few Hindi films where the lead characters, though connected by fate, share very little actual screen time together.
  • The title 'One by Two' metaphorically refers to the idea of two incomplete individuals (halves) becoming a whole through connection.
