The film was created by Ritwik Ghatak. It is based on the thoughts and views of Ritwik Ghatak on [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]] and [[communism]]. The film was, for some time, not allowed to be released in India.<ref>{{cite book|last=Ghaṭaka|first=R̥tvikakumāra|title=Calaccitra, mānusha ebaṃ āro kichu|year=2005|publisher=De'ja Pābaliśiṃ|location=Kalakātā|isbn=81-295-0397-2|edition=1.

==Initial problems==<br />
After making the film, countries such as the [[Soviet Union]] and the [[People's Republic of Poland]] approached Ritwik Ghatak for him to show the movie in those countries. However, issues arose with the [[National Film Censorship Board of India]] which did not approve of the movie and banned it in India. Ghatak and his team had to work hard to have the movie passed by the censorship board. Ritwik Ghatak personally met with [[Indira Gandhi]] on this matter.<ref>{{cite book|last=Ghaṭaka|first=R̥tvikakumāra|title=Calaccitra, mānusha ebaṃ āro kichu|year=2005|publisher=De'ja Pābaliśiṃ|location=Kalakātā|isbn=81-295-0397-2|page=309|edition=1.
