Shantaram, was known for producing films that looked at serious social issues. This film is a lesson on national integration. It tells the story of a family whose members come from different states of India. This difference is manifested through the colour of their skin, and the film booklet cover shows a dark-skinned woman surrounded by a number of fair-skinned ones. The back cover of the booklet advertises the next film to be released by the same director.","physicalDescription":"On the front cover in the bottom left had corner is the face of a young woman looking upwards with an expression of anguish.
