Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was Hansal Mehta's second feature after the obscure 'Jayate' — you can feel him figuring out his voice through pure aggression.

Cultural

The title translates to 'Don't Take It To Heart, Pal!!' — deeply ironic given how much the film absolutely wants you to take Mumbai's cruelty to heart.
