The film stars Tara Deshpande and Nirmal Pandey, with the entire plot taking place over a single night.

A small-scale gang war erupts in the city: A police Inspector Patankar is changing sides faster than a chameleon, a rival gang lord Prafulla Kalia is offering deals and — in the middle of all this — Aditya finds himself stuck.

The soundtrack includes the following tracks and instrumentals, composed by M. M. Kreem, with lyrics by Nida Fazli, who received a Filmfare Best Lyricist Award Nomination for "Jeevan Kya Hai."

Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin features in Avijit Ghosh's book, 40 Retakes: Bollywood Classics You May Have Missed.

"Violent and sensuous, opaque and funny, the movie creates the Bollywood mafia stylebook," Ghosh writes.
