Trivia
- The film was directed by Dayanand, who was better known as a cinematographer for movies like 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram'.
- It was one of the few Hindi films from the early 1980s to directly address the social stigma around rape and pregnancy.
- The movie features actor Mithun Chakraborty in a supporting role before he became a major star with 'Disco Dancer' the same year.
- Actress Padmini Kolhapure, who played Ganga, was a popular teenage star but this role was a departure from her usual lively characters.
- The film's title 'Gumsum' translates to 'silent', reflecting the speech-impaired protagonist's struggle.
- Music was composed by Bappi Lahiri, known for his disco hits, but the soundtrack here had a more dramatic, emotional tone.
- Despite its serious theme, the movie did not perform well commercially and is rarely discussed in mainstream film histories today.
