Even if you cannot read Hindi, you can tell that apart from the name, year, production company, subject and the first lines of songs, not much info was available, not even the cast!

Recently, I posted an interview with Leela Mishra from Filmfare where we found out that she was the film's heroine.

Of course, this info will be added with thanks to him.
We need more people like Sudarshan Talwar!
