According to the director Anurag Kashyap, this movie is dedicated to the song "Yeh mehalon, yeh takhton, yeh taajon ki duniya. Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai" and its lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi from the Guru Dutt movie Thirst (1957).
In this movie,Mahie Gill's character tells Kay Kay Menon's character about how she was in a pilot for a show on TV but it never took off.This possibly is inspired from Mia Wallace-Vincent Vega sequence of Pulp Fiction in which Mia was the one whose show's pilot wasn't picked up.Anurag Kashyap has publicly acknowledged Quentin Tarantino as his inspiration,hence it's likely that this scene was inspired from pulp fiction.
The censor board censored two dialogues from the movie - one referring to Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and a discussion about the origin of India's National Anthem.
The film was shot during festivals a lot because of the shoe string budget, which helped the producers save money for lighting and extras.
Drinks named as Democracy and Republic Beer are shown to suit the political theme of the movie.
"Prithvi Bana: [wearing a lot of gulaal on his face] who am I? Bhati: [smiling] Prithvi Bana. Prithvi Bana: Right! you would recognize everyone who wears gulaal won't you? Bhati: Yes I would! Prithvi Bana: Then what is the use of so much gulaal on our faces?"
"Karan: So... are you going to resign from the election? Ransa: I heard he never married your mom... Is your father dead or alive? Karan: Asking you for the second time... are you going to resign? Ransa: Is your father dead or alive? Karan: Asking you for the last time... are you going to WITHDRAW? Ransa: If your dad WITHDREW at the right time, then you wouldn't have been leading this bastard life."
