The movie is an import work in the Indian Parallel Cinema movement which started in the early 1970s. It is one of the last films to be part of the movement as it died out by the early 1990s.

Dappa glanced up at the wall of the Kasba where the man squirmed on the hook.
Native soldiers went by to the Kasba on the height, or strolled down towards the Cafes Maures smoking cigarettes.
