Although the movie was made in 1981, it had its premiere in 1987. The delay was because of state-imposed censorship due to the film's political content.

The idea of how a life can take different possible paths inspired at least three later films: Lola Bhaago Bhaago (1998), Sliding Doors (1998), and Mr. Nobody (2009).

This film is part of the Criterion Collection, spine #772.
