Debut Hindi film of Taapsee Pannu.
The song "Har Ek Friend Kamina Hota Hai" was inspired from the Airtel advertisement jingle "Har Ek Friend Zaroori Hota Hai".
Govinda has stated that he came up with the idea of the movie to David Dhawan and wanted to play the role that would then be offered to Rishi Kapoor. He wanted at least a guest appearance which he wasn't given either. This has caused a rift between Govinda and David Dhawan and may never work with each other again.
David Dhawan who directed this film said that when the original Chashme Buddoor released in 1981 had Rakesh Bedi and Late Ravi Baswani who played Farooq Sheikh's friends in the film were his roommates in his struggling days. Hence, the remake was close to his heart.
Deepti Naval played a salesgirl of Chamko Detergent in the original film. Chamko detergent is also featured in this film.
