To quote the film review featured in Filmindia 1946 "The newcomer Meena Kumari is a good addition to the screen. she does well as Anuradha and has a promising future."[1] The film turned out to be an ordinary film, but Meena performed with credit and her talent was noticed at this time by two other important film makers, Kidar Sharma and Homi Wadia.[5]Meena Kumari, after her career as a child artist, started doing adult roles as heroines in mythologicals and fantasy genres before she made it in mainstream cinema with Baiju Bawra (1952).[6]
Music
- During the 1940s, the names of the characters(female) who sung the songs onscreen were shown on the sound records. Thus, the artists namely Anuradha, Vasanti and Shanta are actually the names of characters on whom the song was picturised and not the names of the original singers.
