Trivia

Album

• This film was an unexpected success. It won awards and became a box office hit despite its unconventional theme and a relatively inexperienced cast and crew. It was Shoojit Sircar's first film in seven years. His last film prior to this was "Yahaan" (2005). It was also the debut film of writer Juhi Chaturvedi, music directors Abhishek - Akshay, Ayushmann Khurrana, Rochak Kohli, and Donn - Bann, as well as the film's lead actors Yami Gautam and Ayushmann Khurrana. Khurrana, who till then had worked as a radio jockey and a television host, had rejected a number of films before accepting this one.[1][2]
• The film was remade in Telugu as "Naruda Donoruda" (2016) and in Tamil as "Dharala Prabhu" (2020).

Song

• Rum & Whisky - An abridged version of this song appeared in the film's background score and the full version was used in the end credits. The film's producer John Abraham appeared on screen for the end credits song sequence. This was his first film as a producer.
• Pani Da Rang (Male) - This was a rare instance of an actor not only singing a song in his debut film but also winning a Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer for it.
