      • Trivia
        This Movie was made on such a shoestring budget that Naseeruddin Shah, the most well known actor was paid only Rs 15,000 ($300) for the movie. Naseer also had to bring his own Nikon camera to the shootings to use as a prop for his character, who was a photographer. Towards the end of the shooting, this camera was stolen, which amongst other painful memories of the making of the film, Naseer still reminisces about.
      • Goofs
        When the body of municipal commissioner was found under the bridge the eyes of the body was closed however however when they again recover the body of municipal commissioner was recovered again from the house of another contractor the eyes of the body was open. This can't be possible.
      • Quotes

        Municipal Commissioner D'Mello: [while eating a cake] Eat a little, throw a little.

      Om Puri drunk scene was so hilarious!!
      Watched this movie on recommandation of a facebook post. The movie shows a serious matter in a comic way. This movie proves if you have good actors and story, you don't need fancy things which current movies use. Late Om Puri did great acting in this one especially one scene where he was very drunk although he was drunk in the entire film. The Mahabharata scene was great as well.
