→Trivia
- The film is loosely based on the 2008 murder of TV executive Neeraj Grover, though names and some details were changed.
- Director Ram Gopal Varma shot the entire film in just 16 days to keep the production fast-paced and low-budget.
- Mahie Gill, who plays the lead, had previously worked with Varma in 'Dev.D' but this was her first major thriller role with him.
- The film's title was changed from 'Murder 2' to 'Not a Love Story' to avoid confusion with another thriller released the same year.
- It received an 'A' (Adults only) certificate from Indian censors due to its violent and intense scenes.
- Varma used unusual camera angles and close-ups extensively to create a sense of unease, a style he often employs in his thrillers.
- The movie performed poorly at the box office, despite the real-life case it was inspired by having significant media coverage.
