Interesting facts
The film is adapted from Kashmiri journalist Basharat Peer's feature article in The New York Times, titled Taking Amrit Home, which followed the journey of two friends, Mohammad Saiyub and Amrit Kumar, as they travelled back to their homes during the first wave of COVID-19 and India's nationwide lockdown.
