Writer Niranjan Pal's original title for the English-language story and screenplay was Touchstone or Marriage Market, indicating a shorthand version of the film's theme. The verse that Pal uses as a mood reference for one of the songs in the film is from Arthur Ryder's 1912 translation of Kalidasa’s Kumarasambhava or The Birth of the War-God.[2]
