Release[edit]
The Hindi-language film was dubbed into Telugu, Chhattisgarhi and English versions, with all four versions scheduled to be released the same day.[7] Rahul Aggarwal, one of the producers, said all the actors dubbed their English lines themselves.[7]
The film was originally scheduled to be completed and released in 2008.[8]
Response[edit]
The film was not reviewed by a sufficient number of contributing critics to be rated at the review aggregating site Rotten Tomatoes.[9] Rachel Saltz of The New York Times said the film "seems torn between two storytelling modes: episodic with a documentary flavor and action-driven pulp. It makes a hash of both." She added, "For some reason [it] has been dubbed into heavily accented English for American release, adding an unnecessary 'What did he say?' level of difficulty."[10] Frank Lovece of Film Journal International echoed that, saying, the film "plays like one of those stiff historical drams that educational-film companies make for schools. Or in this case, an outsourced educational-film company."[6] Adam Keleman of Slant believed, "The unforgivable flaw of the film is its lack of subtlety, the way character detail and plot development is laid for us on a silver platter, never requiring the audience to ... fully engage with the intricacies of the lead character's internal and moral quandary."[11]

- Winner, Director's Vision Award at the 2009 Stuttgart Film Festival[12]
- Winner, South Asian International Film Festival Award for Best Actor - Sunil Shetty [12]
