The film shows the transformation of a tolerant, kind-hearted jailor into a ruthless, intolerant tyrant when his wife leaves him for another man. Modi in his psychodramas tended to use a "misogynist viewpoint" regarding problems in marriage.<ref name="Raj2009">{{cite book|author=Ashok Raj|title=Hero Vol.1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=tgo9BAAAQBAJ&pg=PT23|year=2009|publisher=Hay House, Inc|isbn=978-93-81398-02-9|page=23}}</ref> The role, as cited by Rishi, was "chillingly portrayed" by Sohrab Modi.<ref name="Rishi2012">{{cite book|author=Tilak Rishi|title=Bless You Bollywood!: A Tribute to Hindi Cinema on Completing 100 Years|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=r623sWyGm0sC&pg=PA13|year=2012|publisher=Trafford Publishing|isbn=978-1-4669-3963-9|page=13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaheritage.org/perform/cinema/history/modi.htm|title=Pioneers in Indian Cinema, Sohrab Merwanji Modi|publisher=IndiaHeritage.org|accessdate=17 December 2014}}</ref> The film was remade with the same title [[Jailor (1958 film)|in 1958]] with Modi playing the same role, that of the Jailor with a different supporting cast.
