→Trivia
- The film was originally titled 'Daasi' but was also released as 'Patita' in some regions, causing confusion with another 1953 film of the same name.
- Director Raj Khosla was known for thrillers and melodramas, making this social drama a slight departure from his usual style.
- Actress Anita Raj, who played the lead, was relatively new to Hindi cinema at the time, with this being one of her early prominent roles.
- The film's music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, but it did not produce any major hit songs compared to their other works of the era.
- It explores themes of widow remarriage and social stigma, reflecting common concerns in early 1980s Indian cinema.
- The movie performed modestly at the box office and is not widely remembered among Raj Khosla's filmography today.
- Some filming took place in rural Punjab settings to emphasize the traditional backdrop of the story.
