Trivia
- The film was directed by Ganesh Acharya, who is far better known as a top Bollywood choreographer than as a filmmaker.
- Actor Shreyas Talpade, who plays Abhay, is usually seen in comic roles, making this intense dramatic part a significant shift.
- The movie's title 'Angel' refers to the character Sonal, but the story focuses more on the male protagonist's troubled life.
- It was produced by Puja Films, a company not widely recognized for major commercial successes in Bollywood.
- The film had a very limited theatrical release and received little attention from critics or audiences upon arrival.
- A subplot involves the protagonist working in a garage, a setting not commonly central to mainstream Hindi romantic dramas.
- Despite its dramatic synopsis, the film incorporates several song-and-dance sequences typical of Bollywood at the time.
