Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film was originally titled 'Double Decker' but changed to 'Sandwich'—apparently someone thought food metaphors would soften the bigamy premise. It didn't.
Released during Govinda's late-career commercial decline, this represents Bollywood's obsession with remaking South Indian farces for North Indian audiences—complete with Punjab fetishization and wife-commodity plot engines.
