I like to do things methodically. Whenever I have to write an article on a song, I first go through all the comments on the already posted songs of that film, if any, so that I do not repeat what has already been said. Further, if needed, I can quote from those comments. If it is a singer, actor or a film, I try to go through the available material-on the Blog or Net etc, to make my write up exclusive and I also ensure that whatever statements I make in my articles are defendable with evidence-if and whenever challenged.

I had not seen this film and I did not get any information about this film anywhere on the net or in any books or magazines. With a star cast of B grade, like Shyama, Suresh, Bhagwan, Shaikh, Majnu, Cuckoo etc, even its production banner was not well known- Fine art films, Bombay.
