==Critical reception==
''Hip Hip Hurray'' is featured in Avijit Ghosh's book, ''40 Retakes: Bollywood Classics You May Have Missed''.

==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]].<ref name="hans"/> 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. But 25 days before the [[principal photography]] was to begin, Anil Kapoor backed out and Azmi followed suit.<ref name="hans"/> Jha then came up with a different cast of Raj Kiran, Deepti Naval and Nikhil Bhagat. Gulzar has written the screenplay, dialogues as well as lyrics of the film.<ref name="hans"/>

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.<ref name="hans"/>
