  • Harpo Does Something Funny: Dubey's Newhart Phonecall while he's climbing around and down the tent scaffolding (ending with the revelation that the cellphone signal is actually better on the ground) was completely improvised by Vijay Raaz.
  • Real-Life Relative: Neha Dubey (Ayesha, the cousin who does the dance routine) is the daughter of Lillete Dubey (Pimmi, the mother of the bride).
  • Sleeper Hit: The film ended up being a massive international hit, grossing $30 million on a $1 million budget and earning the prestigious Golden Lion.
  • What Could Have Been: There was supposed to be a whole subplot about the groom's parents, but it was dropped to help the film stay on schedule, since they only had 30 days to shoot.
