Production
The film has Prasanna, in his second film, and newcomer Neelam Singh in the lead roles. The film was extensively shot in Gujarat and was set in the backdrop of the 2001 Gujarat earthquake. The team shot in the earthquake devastated village of Adhoi in Gujarat and became the first crew in fifty years to go there for a film shooting. A stage came where the crew had to seek police help to continue shooting due to crowd trouble.[2]
Release
A critic noted that "A good performance by Prasanna is the highlight of the film. As for his female lead Neelam, there is a long way to go. The stale storyline has nothing to offer".[3][4][5] The film's low key release meant that the film went unnoticed at the box office.
