Cast

Production

Tandon was the first choice for the part, which she initially turned down as it was too bold.[4] Her part was said to be based on Shobhaa De.[5] 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".[3] She appeared in a Sufi song.[6] 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."[7]

Release

The film was screened at several award festivals,[8][9] including the Indian Festival of Houston, where Tandon won a special recognition trophy for Outstanding Performance.[2][3][10] The film did not have a theatrical release.[11]
