The film originally titled Gangaram Vis Kalmi reportedly made reference to Indira Gandhi's Twenty-Point Economic Programme during the Emergency, and the picture itself was meant to be a political satire. This may have contributed to the film's censoring issues. Under this new title, a partially reedited edition was released.[2][3]
After his wealthy uncle passes away, Gangaram inherits a million dollars and leaves his village to live in Bombay, where he must deal with his mother's ignorance and his uncle's dishonest manager. Disillusioned, he returns to the village and his beloved Gangi after giving up his money.
The film was released on 5 March 1977 in Maharashtra.[4] The film achieved huge success on the box office, running successfully for 25 weeks.[5]
Raam Laxman composed the music and sound recording is provided by B. N. Sharma. The lyrics of the songs was written by Dada Kondke and Rajesh Majumdar with singers Usha Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor.[1][2]
