The film was made during "golden era" of modern bengali cinema when directors were experimenting with "realism" from western films using scenarios from typical bengali lives at that time. The film was based upon a life of a suburban ordinary salesman which has all its elements of ups and downs and the sufferings in daily life that occurred during second world war. The script was itself a classic in the sense that it cinematicallty reflects all elements of natural emotions and Shri Sen was successful to translate that script into an excellent film. The editing was equally good which keep the pace and normal flow of the storyline. Shri Gyanesh Mukherjee's performance as the salesman was brilliant. Equally good was Shrimati Madhabi Mukherjee as the salesman's wife with all her natural acting with a touch of brilliance. The photography and art direction provided necessary elements to make the film more realistic. This film is a true Bengali film classic.
