Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Siddharth trained with real Malvani carrom champions for months; the underground tournament circuits depicted were still active in Mumbai slums during filming.

Cultural

The film was buried by distributors—released simultaneously on YouTube and theatres in 2010, a pioneer move that backfired commercially but predicted streaming's future.
