Trivia

Album

• Although the first film he had signed was "Dev.D" (2009), this was composer Amit Trivedi's first Hindi film release. "Dev.D" was delayed and came out only after this film. This was also lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya's official debut and the beginning of a very successful partnership between them.[1]
• This film was remade in Tamil as "Aal" (2014).
• The makers of this film had licensed singer Peggy Lee's "It's A Good Day" (1946) for the film's title sequence.[2]
• It was said that this film was an adaptation of the Filipino-American film "Cavite" (2006). According Vikas Bahl, Head of UTV Spotboy, the producers had acquired adaptation rights from the makers of "Cavite". However, according to director Raj Kumar Gupta, this film had nothing to do with "Cavite".[3][4]
• This was the first film of its director Raj Kumar Gupta and the film's hero Rajeev Khandelwal.
• While lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya officially debuted in this film, he had written the film song "Maula" ("Iqbal", 2005) before it using the pen name Indraneel. Bhattacharya "hid" behind the pseudonym for several years before this film in which he was credited simply by his first name. He used his full name for the first time in "Dev.D" (2009). Due to unknown reasons, Bhattacharya went back to using the pen name Indraneel for a couple of films later on in his career.[5][6][7]
