Music director of the film is Parash Nath Kalindi said he was pleased with the overwhelming response to the premiere show.

Ramdas, the producer of the film, said he would announce the launch of another Santhali film.

“I loved the film. Why can’t producers make more such films on tribal way of life. Dashrath was superb. He is an excellent actor. The music was melodious. I will see the film again,” said Suresh Munda.
