In 2011, Sudir Mishra launched a spiritual sequel to Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin, titled Yeh Saali Zindagi, with Arunoday Singh, Irrfan Khan and Chitrangada Singh.[3][4]
An advertising executive, Aditya (Nirmal Pandey) has a beautiful wife (Tara Deshpande) and a beautiful mistress (Smriti Mishra). This secret affair is the catalyst for much of the plot. Adi gets into a scuffle with a bunch of gangsters led by Ramanbhai, (Ashish Vidyarthi). To add to the tension, Ramanbhai is under duress because his colleague, Vilas Pandey (Saurabh Shukla) is after his life.
A small-scale gang war erupts in the city: A cop Inspector Patankar (Ganesh Yadav) is changing sides faster than a chameleon, a rival gang lord Prafulla Kalia (Virendra Saxena) is offering deals and — in the middle of all this — Aditya finds himself stuck. A fast-paced sequence of events happen in the span of one single night.

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.[citation needed]
