Trivia

  • The movie heavily references 1990s Bollywood, with Meenakshi often imitating famous dance moves from that era.
  • Director Sachin Kundalkar originally wrote the script in Marathi before adapting it into Hindi.
  • The soundtrack features a song called 'Dreamum Wakeupum' that mixes Tamil and gibberish lyrics.
