The film is directed by "Bhoothnath Returns" director Nitesh Tiwari's wife Ashwini Iyer Tiwari and also features Ratna Pathak Shah and Pankaj Tripathi.

It had received tremendous applause at the BFI London Film Festival (LFF) and the Silk Road International Film Festival in China, where Swara received the Best Actress Award.
