Trivia:

Director Priyadarshan worked as the second-unit director of the original movie Manichithrathazhu (1993), when he decided to remake the story in Hindi. Akshay Kumar was his first choice to play the male lead role, as was classical dance-trained Malayalam actor Vineet for the role of Shashidhar.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: During the scene when Aditya (Akshay Kumar) is talking to Shri Yagyaprakashji Bharti (Vikram Gokhale) in the courtyard, we can see a crew member dressed in a black tee and jeans in the background. He makes his way out of the frame, cautiously, so as to not be seen, but obviously fails to do so.

Quotes:

Shri Yagyaprakashji Bharti: [pointing at Aditya] I’ve seen him somewhere before.
Batukshankar Upadhyay: Then you might have seen him in a mental asylum.

Where there is such a talented director, there is a masterpiece.

It is not actually a comedy movie at all! It is a absolutely a different type of work gifted to us by the talented director.We all know that Priyadarshan is a master of comedy, he knows how to make people laugh anyhow.But if you are thinking this movie to be a comedy, you are mistaken.This is a good drama, thriller and 'get a clearer picture later' kind of a movie.I will not claim it to be a mystery since there is not anything confusing.All of the actors were just fantastic, but Akshay Kumar could do better.I would have appreciated more presence of the Rajpal Yadav.This movie surely deserves to be in your collection.Long Live PRIYADARSHAN !
