The film, based on the Maratha King Shivaji's Senapati (Commander-in-Chief) Netaji Palkar, and his struggle to save his kingdom, is cited to have made a great "impact" on Marathi Cinema.[5] According to Garga, the commercial success of the film helped save the Maharashtra Film Company from facing bankruptcy.[6]
