Trivia
- The film was based on a short story by Bengali writer Shirshendu Mukhopadhyay, originally titled 'Nishkriti'.
- It was the only Hindi film directed by Sandip Ray, who is better known for his work in Bengali cinema and for continuing his father Satyajit Ray's legacy.
- The movie was shot primarily in the rural landscapes of Maharashtra to capture the authentic feel of a feudal setting.
- Actor Om Puri played the lead role, which was a departure from his more common urban or police officer characters in the 1990s.
- The film's release was very limited and it did not perform well commercially, making it one of the lesser-known works in the cast's filmographies.
- The soundtrack was composed by Vanraj Bhatia, a respected composer known for his work in Indian parallel cinema and documentaries.
- Despite being a Hindi film, it retained a strong regional aesthetic, reflecting Sandip Ray's background in Bengali art-house storytelling.
