Mahesh chopped off 10 minutes of flood scenes. The film is based on July 2005 Mumbai deluge. Bhatt tells a daily, “The film did not turn out the way Kunal had visualised it. The film is not about the disaster, but the love story. I just toned down the disaster scenes to make it more viewer-friendly."

Commenting on the editing that Bhatt did, director Kunal Deshmukh says, "I was dead against cutting some portions of the flood scenes because I thought that they really stood out. Bhattsaab wanted to play up the love angle and I understood his point of view when I saw the film after 10 minutes had been chopped off. I loved the flow."

All's well that ends well!
