Background

The film was made in the 1960’s and became a big commercial success in its time, being considered a hit for Rajasthani cinema.[3][4] This was a milestone in the history of the Rajasthani movie industry.[5]

The popular bhajan songs "Khamma Khamma" and "Runecha ra Dhaniya" are from this movie.
