According to director, this movie actually started off
as a sequel to the movie Django Unchained, at least
on paper. This was just at the stage where he was
developing the story, but as much as we'd have
loved to see Django again, the director’s vision, as
usual, went on a different tangent, and he ended
up writing a different story altogether.

The film is a 1999 drama that revolves around a man who
defies his father's wish and marries a woman, following
which he struggles to make a living.
It is probably the most aired movie on Sony Max.

filling up its Sunday slot. But soon, conditions worsened.
It was as if Set Max was forcing you to watch it. Slowly but
steadily, the channel started showing the movie on
weekdays as well.

their toy castle.

series after the producers answered his question :
Who is Y’s mother?

scenes. During the production of Y, X demanded
