The film was directed by Yashwant Bhalkar and produced by Mandatai and Sharadrao Nimse from the studio Jijai Chitra in Shirdi.
Rajmata Jijau tells the story of Jijabai's life, beginning with the return of the child Shivaji to Pune, and in the process depicts Jijabai as a heroine in her own right, largely responsible for the formation of Shivaji, and therefore, for his accomplishments as founder of the Maratha empire.
Loksatta published separated reviews of the film and its soundtrack, giving favorable notice to the Powar's score.
[citation needed] Lyricist Babasaheb Saudagar and music director Shashank Powar created the soundtrack for Rajmata Jijau.
Since this is a period film, Powar researched 16th and 17th century Marathi music to create the score.
