For Jabbar Patel, tackling a political subject is not something new. Whether it was [[Umbartha]], Jait Re Jait, or Simhasan for the silver screen, or Ghasiram Kotwal for the stage, he has handled political subjects. His recent film is also political based "Yashwantrao Chavan".

''Jait Re Jait'' (1977) is a musical milestone in the history of Indian cinema, and expresses the stories of a forgotten tribe through dance and a total of 19 songs. Next came Simhasan (1981) made in a montage style with 35 characters. Both won National Awards. One of Patel’s most acclaimed works is Umbartha (1981), a film featuring Smita Patil as the superintendent of a woman’s reform home.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Not Only Bollywood|last=Goenka|first=Tula|publisher=Om Books International, 2014|year=2014|isbn=9789381607176}}</ref>
