Back in 2008 when I saw this film, I was in 6th/7th grade. Then I just enjoyed it like all other Odia movie.
Now when I see any Odia movie.. most of them are copy of South/other languages, the respect I have for this film increase more and more.
After Puja pain phula tie this movie made me cry. (Specially scenes of Mihir Das, Aparajita & Samresh, Mihir Das)
The screenplay, acting, direction and my god!! lyrics of the songs (Chittaranjan Tripathy🙏) are just phenomenal.
Those who are complaining about the standard of Odia movie should watch this masterpiece.
In low budget and technology that not so developed then was way ahead of its time.
