Mahima Chowdhury in the role of Poopul Jakar has presented a beautiful blend of sensitivity and dignity with her acting. Milind Soman is completely engrossed in the character of Sam Maneksha and Satish Kaushik portrays the personality of Jagjeevan Ram very effectively.

The cinematography of the film portrays the India of the 70s in such a way that the audience gets lost in that era. The authenticity of the scene is amazing. The background score and songs make the story more powerful. Songs like “Singhasan Khali Karo” and “Sarkar Ko Salaam Hai” are highlights of the film.
