The Cast & Crew: Where Are They Now?

Here is the exclusive production detail that no other database lists correctly.

• Lead Actor: Kunal Singh (not to be confused with the 2000s actor). Kunal was a theatre export from Delhi. "Main Aur Tum" was supposed to be his launchpad. Unfortunately, the film’s distributor went bankrupt two weeks after the release, sinking Kunal’s career.
• Lead Actress: Priya Tendulkar, better known for art-house cinema (Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho!), stepped into a mainstream role here. Her performance as Nisha is reportedly her most underrated.
• Director: Ramesh Talwar (assistant director to Yash Chopra on Silsila). This was his solo directorial debut.
• Music Director: The legendary Khayyam (of Umrao Jaan fame) composed the soundtrack. However, due to the film's failure, the official vinyl record was only pressed 500 times, making it worth a fortune today among collectors.

They share a wall, a sporadic electricity supply, and an unspoken loneliness. The film’s 92 minutes unfold almost in real time, tracing their hesitant friendship through monsoon leaks, borrowed milk, and one shared radio playing "Chithi Aayi Hai".
