Ramanand Sagar reused his 'lost royal heir' template from multiple TV serials; this film is basically a prototype for his later Ramayan aesthetic.
The gypsy foster parents reflect 1980s Bollywood's romanticized 'noble poor' archetype, where lower-caste characters exist purely to validate the hero's goodness.
