Remarks

From song no. 2 onwards, composer R.C. Boral pioneered the playback singing method in films. This group song was presented in a theatrical stage scene in the film. During its filming, after the first two lines of the song, 'Ahee Sanyal' sang some opening lines of song no. 4 as a 'Bad Singer'. The entire song was then reshot with group vocals from women and men, and song no. 4 was presented in K.C. Dey's voice after the first two lines of song no. 3. The names of the playback singers were obtained from Mrs. Suprova Sarkar. During song no. 7 in the film, some lines sung by Uma Shashi were also included. A film with this same title was also passed by the censor board in 1954 and 1977.
