Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title '96' refers to the year Ram and Janu were in 10th grade—director C. Prem Kumar was also a class of '96 student.
The film's massive success sparked a wave of 90s nostalgia in Tamil cinema; it was remade in Kannada and Telugu while still running in theatres.
