- Despite its star cast including Kay Kay Menon and Shahzahn Padamsee, the film had a very limited theatrical release and low box office earnings.
- The movie is set almost entirely within a single hotel location, creating a claustrophobic and farcical atmosphere similar to the original play.
- It features a cameo by actor Sanjay Mishra, known for his comic roles, in a supporting part that adds to the chaotic storyline.
- The screenplay adapts the French original's plot to a Mumbai setting, using local dialects and 'Bambaiyya' slang for humor.
