<br />
==Making==<br />
The film was based on a short story of [[Tarashankar Bandopadhyay]] named ''Nagini''. In 1950 when the shooting started the director of this movie was Nirmal Dey. The shooting of the film was arranged in Rupashree studio, [[Park Circus]], [[Kolkata]]. After the studio got devastated by fire in an accident, they started shooting in [[Indrapuri Studio]]. After some time, the shooting of the film had to be stopped mainly for financial problems. In 1951 [[Ritwik Ghatak]] was appointed as the director of this film. Ghatak made some changes in the storyline, rewrote screenplay and renamed the film ''Arup Kotha''.<br />
In 1952 the film unit shot for 20 days in [[Bolpur]] and [[Ghatshila]] in the bank of river [[Subarnarekha River|Subarnarekha]].
