A YouTube user named Govinda Paudel wrote in the comment section: “The song is titled ‘Bina Swadaiko’ (Without Taste), but both the song and the video are truly flavorful! One of the best I’ve seen! The traditional attire, old rituals, and cultural references feel nostalgic. When I was a child, shamans used to perform similar rituals when I was sick, sacrificing red roosters and black goats. Congratulations to Prakash Ji, Bablu Ji, Sunil Ji, and the entire team. Best wishes for the film.”
The song features the vocals and concept of Devendra Bablu (The Firante), with music composed by Prakash Saput and Devendra Bablu and arranged by Yogesh Kaji Shah. Created in a horror-romantic theme, the video portrays an inter-caste love story, highlighting the supernatural rituals performed by the family to break their bond.

Presented by Galbandi Productions, this social drama film is directed by Prakash Saput, who has also written the story, screenplay, and composed the music. The movie revolves around a young man from the marginalized Vishwakarma community who dreams of becoming a writer and the struggles he faces to achieve his goal.
