Production
Homi Wadia made 152 films under his Basant Pictures banner. Most were mythological and several were action adventure films starring Fearless Nadia. He made use of the same sets several times to save money. Like all his other action films this too had Nadia doing her stunts, fist raised in the air, western clothes, running over trains, fist-fighting bad guys and hefting them on her shoulders, to make the formula driven genre be understood and accepted by the audiences by just seeing the poster.
