The movie shows how crime was in the 20th century. Chart-topping songs include "Ammani Minchi Daivamunnada" and "Naa Prema Nava Parijatam". The former is one of the best Telugu songs about the mother.[1][2][3] The movie is a remake of the 1987 Malayalam movie Irupatham Noottandu starring Mohanlal, which was also remade in Kannada as Jackey (1989), starring Ambareesh.[4] Devaraj reprised his role from the Kannada version.
