- The movie was a major box office failure, earning very little despite its star cast.
- Actor Prateik Babbar, who plays Pinto, gained weight on purpose to look more innocent and childlike.
- The story is loosely inspired by the 1994 Hollywood film 'Forrest Gump' in its portrayal of a simple-minded protagonist.

- The soundtrack includes a rare Hindi film song composed by the band Agnee.
