Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1968 Odia cinema rarely centered female interiority; this film's exploration of a wife's resentment was quietly radical for regional Indian cinema.
Parbati Ghose, the film's star, later became Odisha's first female filmmaker — she was already directing herself here, uncredited.
