→Trivia
- The film's title references Sitapur, a real city in Uttar Pradesh, but the story begins in a fictional town called Rampur.
- Actor Mithun Chakraborty, who played the police inspector, was at the peak of his dancing popularity but performed no songs in this action-heavy role.
- Director Shibu Mitra was primarily known for Bengali films, making this one of his few directorial ventures in Hindi cinema.
- The character name 'Maut' (meaning 'death' in Hindi) for the sister turned bandit was a typical trope for female outlaws in 1980s Bollywood.
- The film's plot of separated family members on opposing sides of the law echoes themes from the earlier hit 'Deewaar' (1975), but with a rural bandit setting.
- Despite its dramatic storyline, the movie did not perform well commercially and is rarely mentioned in retrospectives of 1980s action cinema.
- The actor playing the father, Dharma Singh, was often cast in supporting roles as a villager or patriarch in films of that era.
