==Production==<br />
<br />
===Development===<br />
As no films were made in the Chhattisgarhi language till then for a long time, making the film was difficult for writer-director Satish Jain. He had a story ready, but no [[finance]] was available. This ultimately resulted in his father Shivdayal Jain to come in as a [[Film producer|producer]], however, continued budget constraints forced curtailing the movie by cutting back on shooting of 20 scenes and 1 song.<ref name="R">{{Cite news|title=Chhattisgarhi film beats Mohabbatein|work=[[Rediff.com]]|url=https://us.rediff.com/entertai/2001/feb/09chhat.htm}}</ref> Since the director couldn't afford a playback singer, he got his brother Tinkoo to sing a few songs.<ref name="T">{{Cite news |last=Ghosh |first=Avijit |date=May 16, 2010 |title=Chhollywood calling |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-toi/special-report/Chhollywood-calling/articleshow/5936093.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928034236/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-05-16/special-report/28314831_1_film-industry-silver-jubilee-raipur |archive-date=September 28, 2013 |work=[[Times of India]]}}</ref> The director toured the state of Chhattisgarh extensively in search for suitable actors/actresses for his new film. A technical team came from Mumbai to shoot the movie and the action sequences were executed by fight master Andlib Pathan from Mumbai.<br />
<br />
===Filming===<br />
The film was mostly shot in and around the city of [[Bhilai]], Chhattisgarh.<ref name="R"/><br />
<br />
==Release and impact==<br />
Initially, no one was willing to distribute the movie. So the writer-director Satish Jain and his brother decided to distribute the film themselves. [[Film exhibitor|Exhibitor]]s were apprehensive of the idea of screening a [[Chhattisgarhi]] film. But Satish Jain requested exhibitors to release the film in [[Raipur]], [[Durg]], and [[Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh|Bilaspur]] on the occasion of [[Diwali]] on October 27, 2000. Initially released with just 3 [[film print|prints]], the subsequent demand after the film became a [[superhit]], meant that producers released additional 12 prints. Post release a new song was added.<ref name="R" /> The film is culturally significant as three days after the release of the film, the state of [[Chhattisgarh]] was created. The film is credited with reviving the Chhattisgarhi film industry, as after its release nearly 2 dozen Chhattisgarhi films went on floor within few weeks. Not just film exhibitors but transporters also benefited from the film's release as they ferried people to and from towns and villages where there were no cinema halls, to the cities to watch the movie.<ref name="T" /><ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
==Box office==<br />
<br />
The film ran for more than 100 days across many theatres of cities like [[Bhilai]], [[Rajnandgaon]], [[Korba, Chhattisgarh|Korba]], [[Dhamtari]], [[Ambikapur, India|Ambikapur]], [[Sakti, Chhattisgarh|Sakti]], [[Rajim]] in the newly formed state of Chhattisgarh grossing over {{estimation}} ₹2.5 crores in lifetime collections. The film had a slow start in the first 2 days, but [[word-of-mouth]] publicity and the euphoria surrounding creation of a new state, turned the fortunes of the film from 3rd day onwards making it a [[Blockbuster (entertainment)|blockbuster]]. The film surpassed other [[Bollywood]] films that were also released alongside it on [[Diwali]] such as ''[[Mohabbatein]]'' and ''[[Mission Kashmir]]'' in [[Chhattisgarh]].<ref name="R" /><br />
