The five letter Urdu word Dhuwan forms an acronym of the names of the five friends in this order: Dawood, Hameed, Uzma (The girl engaged to Dawood), Wajid, Azhar, Naveed. Ashir Azeem served in Civil Service of Pakistan as AC Customs.
Ashir Azeem wrote the script for Dhuwan during his time at the Civil Services Academy where he met several police personnel. Being inexperienced at writing scripts for television, Azeem initially wrote the story in the form of a novel and later developed it into a formal script on the advice of a television executive. Azeem's work was primarily written in English and PTV's in-house screenwriters had to translate it into an Urdu script. Azeem later revealed that the translated screenplay couldn't completely realise his conceptualisation and he had to rework some parts.
The serial also features a popular Punjabi song of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, "Kise Da Yaar Na Vichary".
The drama serial was praised for its effective use of cinematography in conveying realism, especially for its live action sequences. Its popularity even compelled the Pakistani youth to join up with the police in serving the country.
