The film was produced by NFDC and Doordarshan. Constraint of budget did not allow to shoot the film some of the sequences elaborately or at grand level. Still Sudhir Mishra delivered with full conviction.Some of the sequences are unforgettable. For example : death scene of Social worker, Dream sequences of Rajkiran with famous bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit,The scene where Rajkiran force the customer to get off the cab as his morale was shattering seeing the bag full of money with the passenger.
The characters of the movie have been well written and well developed. It is a story about power and struggle and it clearly reflects from first frame of the movie till the end. Minutest qualities of human nature like jealousy, greed, ego have been well captured and portrayed.
