Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Lovers' but was also released as 'Lovers' in Hindi, marking director Bharathiraja's first Hindi film after many successful Tamil movies.
- Actor Vijayendra Ghatge, who played the male lead, was primarily known for supporting roles in Hindi cinema, making this a rare leading part for him.
- The film's music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja, a legendary South Indian composer, which was unusual for a Hindi film at that time.
- Despite being set in Goa, significant portions of the movie were actually filmed in Tamil Nadu to reduce production costs.
- The movie faced censorship challenges due to its inter-religious love story theme, which was considered sensitive in the early 1980s.
- It performed poorly at the box office, which affected director Bharathiraja's plans for further Hindi film projects.
