Directed by Jayant Desai, it starred Ishwarlal, Noor Mohammed Charlie, Dixit, Shamim Akhtar, Kesari and Urmila.

The film had Charlie playing a "social parasite" and the acting was severely criticised by the critic of "Filmindia" as "putrid" and "obscene". The film however was a big success at the box-office. This was also Charlie's last film for Ranjit Studios as he became a "freelancer" soon after.
