Trivia

When asked what was the significance of the three guys (the Twilight Players), shown in the movie from time to time, Anurag Kashyap answered, "No significance. They were just there witnessing the story. Like Sanjay in the Mahabharat." See more »

Goofs

Continuity: (At 59:00) Chunni calls out to Chanda to show her the bike he has purchased for her. While Chanda looks out from the balcony, Chunni points to himself, his body language leading to my conclusion that it is for him, while this mismatch is carefully patched by adding a dialogue ("Yes, for you") from Chunni, while the camera focuses on Chanda.
