Cast

Production

Tandon was the first choice for the part, which she initially turned down as it was too bold. Her part was said to be based on Shobhaa De. Tandon later accepted the part and called it "very contrary to the cliched Hindi film heroine. It's bold in its character and has no justifications". She appeared in a Sufi song. According to Sudipto, "Raveena's character 'Shobhana 7 nights' bears a close resemblance to some of the high society authors and columnists in Mumbai and is bold and sensual, sure to raise eyebrows."

Release

The film was screened at several award festivals, including the Indian Festival of Houston, where Tandon won a special recognition trophy for Outstanding Performance. The film did not have a theatrical release.
