The soundtrack and background score was composed by Shyamal Mitra, with Bengali and Hindi lyrics penned by Gauriprasanna Mazumder and Indeevar respectively.

[3] Two years after the film's release, Shakti Samanta made another bilingual film, Ananda Ashram (1977), collaborating with Uttam Kumar, Sharmila Tagore, Utpal Dutt and Shyamal Mitra for the second time, while it failed to attract audiences from the Hindi belt but became an all-time blockbuster at the Bengali box office.

Uttam Kumar shines as Madhusudan Roy Chaudhary aka Madhu, a straightforward scion of a zamindar family settled in a fishing village in the Sundarbans.

He reflects angst and anger with understated ease after his life is ripped asunder by the machinations of the family munim, Mahim Ghoshal (Utpal Dutt).

In a flashback, Madhu tells him how he was entrapped in a fake case of theft in his own house, whereon his ailing paternal uncle, under the influence of the munim, handed him over to the police.

On completing his prison sentence, Madhu returns to his village, only to find that his uncle has been murdered by the munim, who shows it as a case of natural death.

But the ice is finally broken when the village is endangered by raging flood waters that threaten to breach the dam.

But that failed to create any record and became a disaster at the box office, he didn't act in Hindi films till Shakti Samanta convinced him to work.

For the purpose of shooting, about forty houses, zamindarbari, doctor's office, market, Radhagobindar temple, police station, school were built here.

The Hindu wrote in a article 2013 Uttam Kumar, numero uno of the deeply entrenched Bengali cinema, is a case in point, as he managed to get roles in only a few Hindi films before his untimely death at the age of 53 in 1980.

One only needs to watch Shakti Samantha’s “Amanush” (made simultaneously in Bengali and Hindi) to marvel at the scope of the man’s histrionic capabilities.

Kumar shines as Madhusudan Roy Chaudhary, or Madhu, a straightforward scion of a zamindar family settled in a fishing village in the Sunderbans.

He reflects angst and anger with understated ease after his life is ripped asunder by the machinations of the family munim, Maheem Ghosal (a superlative performance by veteran Utpal Dutt).

[9] The Print wrote in 2022 Uttam Kumar does a brilliant job of bringing out the angst and the anger of the character, while also making you empathise with him throughout.
