Trivia

Album

• Pritam had formed a band called Metro for this film, consisting of himself, James, Suhail Kaul and Soham Chakraborty. The Metro band not only sang most of the songs of the film but also appeared onscreen at various junctures in it singing songs while the rest of the film's characters remained oblivious to them.[1]
• This film was a compilation of four stories. One of them, featuring Sharman Joshi, Kay Kay Menon and Kangana Ranaut, was an adaptation of Billy Wilder's Hollywood classic "The Apartment" (1960). Another, featuring Shilpa Shetty and Shiney Ahuja, was inspired by David Lean's British romantic film "Brief Encounter" (1945). "The Apartment" (1960) had been adapted earlier for the Hindi film "Raaste Kaa Patthar" (1972).[2]

Song

• In Dino - The tune of this song seems partly inspired by the song "Mera Naam Hai Mohabbat" (2001) by the Pakistani singer Waqar Ali.[3][4]
• O Meri Jaan - Part of this song's tune may have been inspired by the song "Silent Lucidity" (1990) by the American band Queensryche and part of it by Amr Diab's "Baed El Layale" (2001).[5][6]
• Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si (Unplugged) - This song was a faithful copy of the song "Ah Reum Da Oon Sa Ram" (1986) recorded by the Korean artist Suh Yu Seok and used later in the popular TV series "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon" (2005).[7][8]
