Interesting facts

Hip Hip Hurray is a 1984 Hindi sports drama film directed by Prakash Jha with screenplay by Gulzar. It had Raj Kiran and Deepti Naval as leads and debutant Nikhil Bhagat. The film was the directorial debut of Prakash Jha.

Production

Prakash Jha was trying to raise funds for Damul (which he made next year), but failed to find financiers because of its bold subject matter. He then narrated the outline of Hip Hip Hurray to producer Manmohan Shetty. Shetty liked the idea of a sports film and with a proposed cast that included Anil Kapoor and Shabana Azmi, Jha was ready to make it.

Due to the small budget, the entire climax was shot with a single camera and this led to every single shot being filmed three or four times to give the feel of multiple angles. The film was shot in Ranchi at Vikas Vidyalaya and Bishop Westcott School.
