→Trivia
- The film's title 'Aiyyaa' is a Marathi expression of surprise, similar to 'Oh my!' in English.
- Rani Mukerji learned to speak Marathi for her role, as her character Meenakshi is from a Maharashtrian family.
- 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.
- It was shot extensively in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, to capture the small-town setting authentically.
- Despite its unique premise, the film was a commercial failure at the box office.
